COGNURO TAP vs OptoSense

The metronome has been a standard tool in the neuro industry for years. It's been shown to help with attention, brain rehabilitation, stamina, aging, and more. Our goal is to take those tools and improve upon them. Over the last 7 years, we have gathered data on numerous patients that vary widely in age. Our research has inspired us to create this app to rehabilitate and improve brain function. Every brain is different! The brain has twelve cranial nerves, and many variations and pathways can come from them. We can’t assume that everyone, with vastly different brains, are going to process information at the same speed. This is why the TAP app was created. This data is coming firsthand from the Brain Rehab Clinic. We will continue to build upon the evolving information. Our app assesses the speed at which each patient can effectively learn and train. In addition, it continually assesses and records the data needed to customize the patient's treatment plan. Everyone's brain has a specific rate between 30 -100 bpm at which it learns and processes information. As a clinician, Dr. Hatch likes to ensure his patients are doing the correct rehabilitation therapy, and that it is being executed accurately with the metronome beat. This is why a responsive metronome tool is critical and so advantageous. This app begins assessing at 50 bpm on the left and right hands alone, then we increase the speed to 60 bpm while tapping with both hands alternating. This gives us a baseline to work from. If their results are weak, we "find their speed" by customizing the metronome speed on the app. Our goal is to find each person’s processing speed that allows their brain to perform at its best. Finding their speed expedites rehabilitation and makes the hard wiring more permanent. On this app, we assess before, throughout, and post treatment. This takes away all guesswork. Also included is a tool for assisting in developing a better memory. The allows you to select from various degrees of word difficulties, number of words and times for memorizing words. It scatters the words can challenges you reproduce certain word orderings from memory.

OptoSense is an app with optokinetic (OPK) stripes/images, designed to elicit optokinetic nystagmus (OKN). With the Interactive function the task becomes more cognitive demanding and therefore the drill will also become more beneficial. OptoSense is designed for handheld devices. OPK images size, direction and speed can be adjusted and utilized for eye training, such as smooth pursuits and saccades. To elicit the OKN response, simply place the device, displaying the desired images, in front of the eyes. Eye training is relevant through all phases of life and therefore OptoSense can be utilized at any given age. OptoSense is made child relevant, with a wide selection of different images and with “Next Level OPK” bundle (in-app purchase) it is also highly relevant for athletes at any age and levels. “Interactive” and “Random” can help to make the task more fun, but also more cognitive demanding and therefore the drill will also become more beneficial. When “Interactive” is activated, the images will temporarily dissolve when pressed on. The app user can choose any given image to dissolve, for example choose only the green balloons, or only the balloons with stars on When “Random” is activated, the OPK images will appear in random order, which can contribute to increase the level of difficulty and make the drill become even more beneficial. For inspiration to utilize “Interactive” and “Random”, go to www.optosense.app When the OptoSense is purchased, it includes; the “Basic“ bundle, “Interactive”, “Random” and “Direction lock”. The basic bundle includes 6 image scrolls: black and white stripes, black shapes, balloons, dinosaurs, mixed animals and space. Additional image bundles can be purchased “in-app”– each bundle includes 4 new image scrolls. “Next Level OPK” can be purchased “in-app”, it includes 7 images scrolls, each scroll contains 8 images. 2 image scrolls with different Stroop variations, 1 image scroll with black arrows in 8 “compass directions”, 1 image scroll with red/green arrows in 4 different directions, 1 image scroll with coordination tasks, 1 image scroll with red/green ”Go/NoGo”, and 1 image scroll with 8 different sports balls.
