Cogniclear VR today debuts provide accessible and precise cognitive training procedures and data
Today, patient-facing healthcare training solutions provider Virtuleap announced Cogniclear VR, a cognitive assessment tool for detecting and monitoring cognitive impairments which aims to enhance traditional training methods.
Cogniclear VR aims to enhance traditional methods by providing fully immersive interactive training environments that deliver precise procedures and data via immersive training environments that reflect real-world tasks.
According to Virtuleap, this allows for earlier detection of cognitive decline, compared to screening methods such as MMSE or MoCA procedures.
Amir Bozorgzadeh, CEO at Virtuleap added:
Cogniclear VR was incubated as part of Roche’s ‘Building Together Tomorrow’ dementia program, which Virtuleap joined in spring 2022. Since then, it has undergone two years of rigorous development, in close collaboration with our hospital partners, to reach this pivotal launch.
“Cogniclear VR is positioned to be a key tool in early cognitive diagnosis and ongoing care, helping individuals maintain independence and quality of life,” Bozorgzadeh added.
More on Cogniclear VR
Virtuleap’s Cogniclear VR solutions contain 14 training exercises covering memory, attention, problem-solving, and motor control. Each procedure reflects true-to-life daily challenges.
With an accessible design in mind, Cogniclear VR allows its users to onboard onto the platform easily. Albert “Skip” Rizzo, PhD, Director of Medical Virtual Reality at USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies and a user of Virtuleap solutions, stated that the firm “developed high-fidelity VR simulations for cognitive testing and training that are scientifically informed, reasonably priced, and engaging for users.”
Rizzo also added:
The days of relying solely on neuropsychological tools that have seen little advancement since the mid-20th century are over. Virtuleap offers cognitive training and evaluation activities that immerse users in rehabilitative exercises, driving cognitive activation while a backend system quantifies performance and adjusts challenge levels. These tools hold great potential for making a positive impact in people’s lives!
In addition to the new Cogniclear VR features and tools, Virtualeap is debuting a new training solution to accompany its Enhance VR, a content library for targetted cognitive gamified exercises that includes an extra 15 procedures based on validated neuropsychological tools.
