HeadApp / NEUROvitalis is software for cognitive rehabilitation therapy / brain performance training. The platform provides numerous therapy programs for those affected by cognitive impairments in the areas of attention, memory, executive functions and language.
Mild cognitive impairment: A disorder characterized by impaired memory, learning difficulties, and the decreased ability to concentrate on a task for long periods of time. Often there is a feeling of mental fatigue trying to solve problems. Objectively successful learning is perceived subjectively as difficult. This disorder can occur before, during, or after a variety of cerebral or systemic infections or other physical illnesses. (ICD-10 F06.7)
Patients with these diseases are the target group for the use of HeadApp / NEUROvitalis.
Epilepsies and other diseases with seizure-like symptoms and / or impaired consciousness (ICD-10 G40)
Patients with impaired vision and reading ability, poor hearing and impaired text comprehension and children under 12 years of age should not use HeadApp / NEUROvitalis or only use it under therapeutic supervision.
No residual risks and undesirable side effects are known when using HeadApp / NEUROvitalis.
According to IEC 62304, the HeadApp / NEUROvitalis software was classified in safety class A: No injury or damage to health is possible.
