Advances in computing technology enabled researchers and clinicians to exploit technological devices for cognitive training and rehabilitation interventions. This expert review aims to describe the available software and device used for cognitive training or rehabilitation interventions of patients with neurological disorders.
A scoping review was carried out to analyze commercial devices/software for computerized cognitive training (CCT) in terms of feasibility and efficacy in both clinical and home settings. Several cognitive domains responding to the different patients' needs are covered.
This review showed that cognitive training for patients with neurological diseases is largely covered by several devices that are widely used and validated in the hospital setting but with few translations to remote/home applications. It has been demonstrated that technology and software-based devices are potential and valuable tools to administer remotely cognitive rehabilitation with accessible costs.
According to our results, CCT entails the possibility to continue cognitive training also in different settings, such as home, which is a significant breakthrough for the improvement of community care. Other possible areas of use should be the increase in the amount of cognitive therapy in the free time during the hospital stay.
计算技术的进步使研究人员和临床医生能够利用技术设备进行认知训练和康复干预。本专家综述旨在描述用于神经疾病患者认知训练或康复干预的现有软件和设备。
进行了一项范围综述，以分析用于计算机化认知训练（CCT）的商业设备/软件在临床和家庭环境中的可行性和有效性。涵盖了几个满足不同患者需求的认知领域。
本综述表明，神经疾病患者的认知训练在很大程度上由几种在医院环境中广泛使用并经过验证的设备所覆盖，但很少转化为远程/家庭应用。事实证明，基于技术和软件的设备是远程进行认知康复的潜在且有价值的工具，成本可承受。
根据我们的结果，CCT使得在不同环境（如家庭）中继续进行认知训练成为可能，这对于改善社区护理而言是一项重大突破。其他可能的应用领域应该是增加住院期间空闲时间的认知治疗量。
