What are the advantages of NeuronUP for the child and adolescent population?

NeuronUP offers personalized, flexible cognitive stimulation that increases engagement, compensates deficits, supports multidisciplinary assessment, enables remote and group sessions, and provides measurable outcomes for academic, social, and emotional functioning.

How does NeuronUP improve treatment adherence in children and adolescents?

NeuronUP's gamified activities and interactive materials make sessions enjoyable, boosting motivation and leading to near‑100% adherence in many child and adolescent cases.

Can NeuronUP be used for remote treatment during COVID-19?

Yes. NeuronUP supports remote therapy, enabling continuity of care during COVID-19 and minimizing disruptions to neurorehabilitation and stimulation programs.

How does NeuronUP support group work with young patients?

NeuronUP facilitates group work by promoting engagement, teamwork, healthy competitiveness, and tolerance to frustration while addressing cognitive and social skills in parallel.

What feedback and reporting features does NeuronUP provide?

NeuronUP provides computerized performance tracking and detailed reports for each activity, enabling objective measurement of progress and clear communication between clinicians and families.

Is NeuronUP useful for planning therapeutic processes in child and adolescent care?

NeuronUP supports planning of therapeutic processes through individualized session design, flexible materials, and measurable outcomes; these advantages can be generalized to adult populations as well.

The advantages of working with NeuronUP in pediatric and adolescent populations

The neuropsychologist from the Galiani Psychosocial Center, María José Zambrana, explains in this article the advantages of working with NeuronUP in the child and adolescent population.

At the Galiani Psychosocial Center we have a large number of patients aged between 6 and 18 years who fall within our specific child and adolescent area where we use NeuronUP.

Within this area we carry out tasks both of multidisciplinary assessment and of specific intervention in minors with problems or difficulties in some cognitive domain that affect almost 100% of cases in the family, social, emotional contexts, but above all in the academic/school setting.

Work methodology designed for the child and adolescent population

In most cases a process of neurorehabilitation or stimulation is started with these minors, usually on a weekly basis and with the aim of improving or compensating the deficits and ensuring that the patient finds the least possible limitations in each of the areas in which they develop.

In these sessions deficits are worked on specifically through tasks, exercises and games that make the minors put into practice techniques and tools learned to improve their performance and compensate for limitations. These sessions are prepared in a personalized and individualized way by the neuropsychologist using materials and games, but above all being flexible and imaginative.

Experience and challenges

In my more than 4 years of experience I have been able to verify the time and work involved in designing neurorehabilitation or cognitive stimulation sessions. In addition, I have experienced the added difficulty posed by patients being children or adolescents, since you have the obligation to ensure that the session is pleasant and fun to get the maximum benefit from the time and effort invested.

Advantages of working with NeuronUP in the child and adolescent population

On this occasion given to us by the NeuronUP team to express ourselves and give our point of view through this blog post, I would like to highlight the advantages that we have found in therapy with the child and adolescent population when working and designing sessions with the help of NeuronUP compared to traditional sessions.

Adherence to treatment

NeuronUP materials translate into a greater adherence to treatment in the child and adolescent population, reaching practically 100% in most cases. The little ones do not feel like they are working, so they enjoy each session and eagerly look forward to the next.

Remote treatment

If from our beginnings working remotely has always seemed essential to us, right now due to the situation caused by the COVID-19 it has become indispensable. Thanks to NeuronUP we have been able to maintain therapy with our patients, thus minimizing the possible adverse effects of the pandemic context.

Group work

Working in groups with NeuronUP makes patients appear engaged and motivated; other factors also come into play such as teamwork, competitiveness, and tolerance to frustration… which are addressed and worked on in parallel.

Computerized and reliable feedback

NeuronUP gives us the possibility of maintaining a complete control of the patient’s performance in each of the activities carried out. This allows us to have a direct communication and a complete results report on which to rely to measure their progress.

Conclusions derived from working with NeuronUP in the child and adolescent population

It is, therefore, necessary for us to acknowledge that tools such as NeuronUP seem fundamental to us for the planning of the therapeutic process in the child and adolescent population.

In addition, although in this post we focus on the benefits for the child population, we can generalize all these advantages perfectly to the adult population.
