Cognition testing and monitoring of neurocognitive decline under high-dose opioid medication were feasible using the digital tablet-based application. The cognition app helps to identify difficulties in cognitive function as a side effect of overdosage in opioid medication, and care givers should evaluate the risk of non-comprehension and impaired informed consent appropriately.
