About NeuronUP
1. How to work with NeuronUP?
NeuronUP is a neurorehabilitation web platform for professionals. It has more than 10,000 cognitive stimulation activities classified by areas of intervention, patient age, language and type of activity. NeuronUP allows you to customize the activities to suit the characteristics and needs of your patients and thus increase their motivation and performance.
The professional can work with these activities independently, or through sessions or programs.
Sessions allow you to design an intervention in less than five minutes, with hundreds of exercises, adapted to the needs of each individual patient. It’s very simple, you just have to select the activities, assign the session to the patients you want to work with and select the date when the session is to be worked on, and that’s it!
Sessions allow you to work both in person and remotely with your patients, through telerehabilitation.
Never miss an appointment with a patient because of confinement due to the current health crisis, your patients’ vacations, their long working hours, long distances or their mobility problems.The ability to continue your work remotely will take away these previous mentioned limitations.
Programs on the NeuronUP platform are sets of sessions that allow you to be more organized for a scheduled intervention. Long-term planning will allow you to have a better organization in order to carry out a scheduled intervention.
In addition, NeuronUP has a patient manager that allows you to have all your patients’ information (their reports, medical tests, notes, agenda, activity results, etc.) grouped and organized in a single place, always accessible and safe. It also allows you to maintain the confidentiality of your patients.
In addition, the results of each patient are saved instantly, so that the professional can redefine the therapy according to the progress of each patient, promoting a continuous and guided improvement.

4. Is it possible to work remotely with NeuronUP? Advantages of telerehabilitation
With NeuronUP, in addition to working at your workplace, you can create sessions for your patients to carry out from the comfort of their own home, what we call NeuronUP2GO.
Confinement due to the health crisis, your patients’ vacations, their long working hours, long distances or mobility problems will no longer be a limitation to be able to continue with your interventions.

- Perform a controlled and personalized remote intervention, with all the results being stored on the platform.
- Reinforce the interventions worked on in the clinic.
- Redefine the therapy according to the progress of each patient, promoting a continuous and guided improvement.
4.2 Advantages of telerehabilitation with NeuronUP for your patients

4.3 How does it work

Here is a complete video with which you will learn how NeuronUP2GO works.
5. Is it possible to work with NeuronUP in a group?
Yes, NeuronUP is also designed to work in groups. Some centers work with groups where patients solve the different activities together. There is no doubt that working in groups has many advantages.
We highlight three main advantages:
- It greatly increases motivation.
- Patients learn from each other to perform the task.
- Social skills are worked on (respecting the turn to speak, listening, helping if necessary…)
Theoretical framework
6. What cognitive functions can be worked with NeuronUP?
NeuronUP activities are divided by cognitive functions. You can work on orientation, attention, memory, language, executive functions, gnosis, praxis, visuospatial skills and social cognition.
In addition, we have gone a step further and all the activities are divided into more than 40 cognitive processes.
- Orientation: personal orientation, temporal orientation and spatial orientation.
- Attention: processing speed, sustained attention, selective attention, alternating attention and hemineglect.
- Memory: memory, episodic memory and procedural memory.
- Language: expression, comprehension, vocabulary, naming, fluency, discrimination, repetition, reading and writing.
- Executive functions: working memory, reasoning, planning, inhibition, flexibility, decision making, temporal estimation, dual execution and branching.
- Gnosis: visual gnosis, auditory gnosis, tactile gnosis, gustatory gnosis, olfactory gnosis, body schema.
- Praxis: facial praxis, ideomotor praxis, ideational praxis, visoconstructive praxis.
- • Visuospatial skills: spatial relationship and spatial visualization.
- Social cognition.
7. What kind of profiles is NeuronUP aimed at?
NeuronUP is aimed at professionals who work with individuals with brain damage, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson), neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, ASD), mental illness, Down syndrome, intellectual disability or who want to work on cognitive issues related to normal aging.
8. What kind of activities does NeuronUP have? Read more on the differences between worksheets, generators and games.
NeuronUP has three different types of activities: worksheets, generators and games. Below is an explanation of what each one is:
8.1 Worksheets:
- They are divided by difficulty levels: basic, easy, medium, difficult and advanced.
- There are 2 different ways of working with them: correction mode (the platform gives feedback/corrects the patient after each action) or free mode (the platform does not correct the patient until the end of the exercise).
- Available in digital and printable formats.
8.2 Generators:
- Create unlimited and ecological activities. The patient assimilates what to do in each activity, but never memorizes the result, as it is always different.
- There are 3 different ways of working with them: correction mode (the platform corrects the patient after each action), free mode (the platform does not correct the patient until the end of the exercise) and personalized mode (allows customization to the needs and circumstances and preferences of each patient).
- Available in digital and printable formats.
8.3 Games
- They are divided by levels and the patient will go up or down in level depending on their performance. The games ensure that the patient is always at the level that is appropriate to their capabilities so that they are challenged but not frustrated.
- The games can be customized for each patient, according to their needs and personal circumstances.
- Available in digital format.

10. What are the advantages of working with NeuronUP for patients/clients?
The main advantages of working with NeuronUP for patients are:
- Intervention adapted and personalized to the needs of each patient.
- Activities developed by neuropsychologists and occupational therapists.
- Training in activities of daily living (ADLs).
- Motivational material with design adapted to the age of each patient.
- Activities in digital and paper format.
- Possibility of reinforcing the intervention with home activities (always guided by professionals).
11. What is the scientific basis of NeuronUP?
11.1 In this field there are two types of intervention:
- Neuropsychological rehabilitation, whose objective is the restoration of the subject’s situation to the highest possible degree of functioning at the physical, psychological and social adaptation levels. It is aimed at people who have suffered brain damage or have neurodevelopmental disorders, intellectual disability or mental illness.
- Cognitive stimulation, the purpose of which is to slow cognitive deterioration and maintain preserved abilities. It is applied in neurodegenerative diseases and normal aging.
When designing the material, the concept of ecological validity have also been taken into account, which refers to the concordance between the improvement of the skills trained in consultation and their relationship with a better performance of daily activities, and generalization, referring to the fact that the results produced by training in certain tasks are also evident in other similar tasks.
Each therapeutic intervention must be unique, since it depends on factors as diverse as the type of affectation, the characteristics and personal circumstances of the subject or the particularities of the professional who carries out the intervention. Thus, the professional is the one who will decide what type of activities each patient should carry out, how long each one will last and in what order of difficulty the tasks will be graded.
Therefore, NeuronUP provides you with tasks exhaustively classified by processes, leveled based on the complexity of the demand and customizable, allowing the professional to design a much more precise and effective rehabilitation/stimulation program.
