This holiday season, some of our clients shared with us the most special moments they’ve experienced with their users using NeuronUP. In this article, you can read some of the most touching anecdotes that reflect the dedication and positive impact NeuronUP has on their daily work.

NeuronUP2GO: strengthening bonds between grandfather and grandson

“I have a touching story about a patient who uses NeuronUP2GO because it has become the moment where grandfather and grandson share time together. My patient confessed to me that he didn’t really enjoy doing the exercises every day because they were tiring, but just having his grandson by his side every day and doing it together has made it the most beautiful moment of the day. NeuronUP has brought the grandson and grandfather closer, strengthening their relationship and giving them time to bond.“

Achieving goals and building confidence for a user with ADHD

“Before having the NeuronUP platform, I was struggling to help a patient with ADHD (with whom I recently completed a year-long process) learn how to use a planner, manage their time, and organize tasks based on deadlines or importance. The goal was to help them understand how to allocate time for activities, assess their complexity, and identify the necessary steps. It was very challenging to instill habits that would allow them to function better in their daily life, especially in their studies, which was their main concern since they were on the verge of being expelled from their program.

This week, they completed all their exams and are about to graduate. The positive changes they’ve made over the past year in these areas have been remarkable. While life is a continuous process of learning and growth, it has been a tremendous pleasure to witness their maturity and growth. Not only that, but they now feel much more confident and capable of tackling the new challenges ahead.

What I want to convey is that during this process, NeuronUP has been a powerful tool that has helped us greatly!“

A success story in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) dementia

“I’ve been working for about a year with a person living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) dementia using the digital platform. One day, after completing an activity, they said out loud, “Congratulations, you’ve advanced to the next level,” as a self-confirmation of having done well.

It was a beautiful moment because they were congratulating themselves and, on the other hand, had independently remembered this phrase (even repeating it with a Spanish accent).“

Resilience and gratitude in rehabilitation after a stroke

“G.S. is an 89-year-old retired physician who came to me two years ago for a neuropsychological evaluation following a thalamic stroke. After the assessment, we started a cognitive stimulation program using NeuronUP both remotely and in person.

Everything was going well, but he suffered another minor stroke, this time in the frontal lobe. However, after a neurology assessment, new tests, and the stimulation work we had previously done, he showed no significant impairment. His family, neurologist, and he himself are very pleased with the program we’ve carried out using NeuronUP 🙌.

Eight months ago, I had appendicitis, underwent three surgeries, and was hospitalized for several months. When G.S. found out about my condition, he visited me in the hospital to wish me a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹. This is one of the most touching gestures my work has brought me. My dear G.S. continues his cognitive rehabilitation with NeuronUP and remains stable, and I am deeply grateful to him.”

Progress that moves us

“While working on memory using Organized Post-its, after several sessions, I observed how someone could recall a much higher number compared to when they started. When I pointed this out, the person was surprised and moved, appreciating their progress. It was a very beautiful moment in one of our sessions.”

Overcoming dyslexia in 3 months thanks to tele-rehabilitation

“Recently, I trained an 8-year-old girl using NeuronUP2GO, now in the second month. She had previously completed one month of in-person training. I am from Coimbra (Portugal), and the girl is from Vigo (Coruña), so transitioning to 2GO was crucial. She had difficulties at school with numerical dyslexia. After these three months, her teacher called her parents and asked if she was participating in any cognitive program because she was a completely different child. This girl is Portuguese and moved with her Portuguese parents to Vigo when she was five. She is now eight, and the adaptation has faced some challenges that are being overcome with NeuronUP.”

Improving children’s autonomy

“The joy expressed by the mother of a child I work with using NeuronUP2GO when she told me that her son is very happy with the activities, notices improvement, and is independent when doing the activities on his own.”

Adaptation and progress with NeuronUP

“At first, when we started using NeuronUP, we weren’t sure how users would react. It was different from what we were used to, but we quickly saw that they liked it. Initially, the exercises were easy, and everyone was very motivated, but then more challenging exercises appeared, and some felt a bit discouraged. Despite that, little by little, they started to adapt, and what once seemed difficult is now part of their daily routine.

Today, everyone uses it without any issues, and even though it’s not always easy, they feel satisfied when they complete their exercises. It’s now a regular part of their day, and the most beautiful thing is seeing how, even if it’s not always perfect, each person keeps progressing at their own pace.”

Competitiveness and laughter with NeuronUP’s activity Caps with Letters

“With my users, I love playing the game Caps with Letters or Numbers on the giant screen we have at our center. They challenge each other and manage to keep themselves stimulated for hours. Seeing the happiness that emerges, the way competitiveness and teamwork are fostered, along with the laughter and excitement, is priceless.”

NeuronUP: key to cognitive rehabilitation

“The first time I heard about NeuronUP was in 2018. I was doing neuropsychology training, and they were using two platforms. I always preferred working with NeuronUP.

Six years later, when I was asked at the center where I started working, my preference was undoubtedly NeuronUP. It’s very useful, user-friendly, and evidence-based. It’s truly incredible.”

NeuronUP Score

“I love having access to the NeuronUP scores. They are extremely helpful for selecting rehabilitation goals and provide great clarity on progress or deterioration in each patient’s clinical condition.”

Anecdote shared by Diana Góes, from Centro Córtex Saúde LTDA.

A demanding user: a professional’s mother

“My mother underwent a long treatment of chemotherapy, radiation, etc. Although her neuropsychological evaluation was within the average range, she demanded to do three sessions a day, each lasting an hour! Thinking about it, I believe I’ve never had a more demanding patient than my mother because if I forgot to schedule a session, she would definitely scold me, haha.”

“Using NeuronUP resources is a major advancement in my work. The resources help with practicality and quality, and the patients love it!”

Anecdote shared by Sueli Dos Santos, from Centro Percursos Consultoria e Espaço Terapêutico.

Rehabilitation during the pandemic

“I have a very positive memory of using NeuronUP during the pandemic. When no one could leave their homes, I provided cognitive rehabilitation to my patients via telemedicine using the platform. It was an incredible effort that benefited everyone. I felt fulfilled seeing my patients recover their cognitive functions, and they were grateful for the care, as they noticed better performance in daily tasks, resulting in improved quality of life.”

Brighter days thanks to cognitive stimulation at home

“When older patients share that their days feel brighter thanks to the activities they do at home using the platform.”

Anecdote shared by Breno Bezerra de Andrade, from Clínica Breno Bezerra.

NeuronUP: a valuable cognitive rehabilitation tool

“I’d like to share my positive experience with the exercise platform. It’s been a valuable tool to support my work, offering a wide variety of activities that I can use during rehabilitation sessions with my patients.

Additionally, older patients show great interest in the proposed tasks, which contributes to their motivation throughout the rehabilitation process. I am very pleased to see that this platform plays a significant role in improving cognitive performance, well-being, and progress in my patients.”
