low (very poor or poor) for overall scientific validity and reliability. In terms of appropriateness of the human-computer interface for an older adult population, the majority of tests (10/16) scored fair across all criteria. The scores for ethics-associated factors were the lowest over all criteria evaluated, a majority of tests scored very poor (9/16), and the remainder (7/16) scored poor.Conclusions:Overall, the scientific quality of freely accessible tests online is low and these tests conform poorly to conventional guidelines around consent, conflict of interest and other ethical considerations. These findings have significant implications for the growing computer-literate older adult population. The issues uncovered suggest that further evidence and informed policy are needed to promote the greatest benefits from tools and information available on the Internet.
