    Wearable EEG devices show promise as accessible tools for screening mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using objective neurophysiological biomarkers.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 21 studies on 16 wearable EEG devices, revealing a wide range of classification accuracy from 46% to 95% for MCI detection.

  • 3

    Seven critical factors were identified to optimize wearable EEG systems, including moderate channel density and adaptive signal preprocessing.

  • 4

    Methodological recommendations for future research include standardizing MCI diagnostic frameworks and optimizing device usability.

  • 5

    Insights from this study aim to enhance the real-world application of wearable EEG technology for early cognitive impairment screening.
