What types of acquired brain injuries can benefit from NeuronUP's interventions?

NeuronUP's cognitive rehabilitation platform supports individuals with various acquired brain injuries, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), cerebrovascular accidents (strokes), brain tumors, cerebral anoxia, and infections.

Can you provide examples of activities suitable for individuals with acquired brain injuries?

Certainly. 'Repeated Words' is an activity where patients search for and select words that appear multiple times on a worksheet, enhancing selective attention and working memory. 'Correct Behaviors' involves analyzing appropriate behaviors depicted in images, focusing on social cognition aspects like empathy and social relations. 'Get Dressed' requires patients to dress a figure appropriately, promoting decision-making, body schema awareness, and planning skills.

How does NeuronUP monitor patient progress?

NeuronUP provides automatic data updates and generates graphs after each exercise, enabling professionals to track patient progress both in specific activities and overall intervention, facilitating informed adjustments to therapy plans.

What theoretical framework supports the development of NeuronUP's exercises?

NeuronUP's exercises are designed based on the identification of constructs, operations, and functions involved in human activity, as outlined by Burgess et al. (2006). This approach aims to create motivational and customizable ecological content that supports neuropsychological stimulation and rehabilitation processes.

Some activities for people
with acquired brain injury

Repeated
Words

The patients works on selective attention and working memory by searching and selecting all the words that appear repeatedly on the worksheet.

Organized into five levels of difficulty.
Available in digital or paper format.

Correct
Behaviors

In this activity the patient must analyze the correct way to behave in a situation represented in an image, working on social cognition from multiple perspectives (self-esteem, assertiveness, civility, constructive criticism, rights, empathy, hygiene, persuasion, social relations, routines…).

The worksheet is organized into five levels of difficulty.
Available in digital or paper format.
The paper format includes the option to discuss with the patient the options to be chosen.

Get Dressed

Activity designed to promote the development of decision making, body schema and planning. The patient must adequately dress a human figure with the clothes provided. It is highly customizable and can be adapted:

Level: the higher the difficulty, the fewer indications there are and the clothing choices are more complex.
Number of exercises.
Maximum time chosen and whether or not the timer is shown.
Number of garments displayed and option to move them by dragging or clicking.
Scenarios and distractors.
Number of aids and errors allowed.

Automatic data updates

NeuronUP generates graphs that are updated after each exercise, allowing you to know the evolution of the user both in a specific exercise and at a global level of the intervention.

On what basis
do we design our exercises?

We identify the constructs, operations and functions (Burgess et al., 2006) involved in human activity, in order to create exercises capable of calibrating them during the rehabilitation process.

The aim is to create motivational and customizable ecological contents that support the processes of neuropsychological stimulation and rehabilitation (Wilson, 1987; 1989).

What our clients say about us

Paula Rodríguez,
neuropsychologist

I have been using NeuronUP for more than two years at the brain injury association and the patients are very happy to work with the platform’s activities.”

Gloria Cano,
neuropsychologist

I think it is a platform that every psychologist and neuropsychologist should have, as it provides you with the necessary material to work on cognitive stimulation in a comfortable and easy way, in person and from home”.
