Obesity represents a health risk and several studies have linked this clinical entity to cognitive deficits. Among the neuropsychological rehabilitation tools, Peak, a digital application, has shown positive results as a therapeutic method. The aim of this work was to measure, for the first time, cognitive deficits and the effects of Peak digital cognitive neurohabilitation therapy in patients diagnosed with obesity. Peak treatment was offered to the parents who agreed and lasted 6 months, including the neurocognitive evaluation. The patients used Peak five times a day for 20 min. The Neuropsychological Attention and Memory Battery (NEUROPSI) was applied before and after the intervention. The results revealed posttest changes in attention and executive function, memory, and total attention and memory. Significant clinical changes were observed, and the diagnostic range increased from severe to moderate. We concluded that, through an intervention with the Peak app, it is possible to enable attention and memory, which represent the main cognitive deficits in obese pediatric patients.
肥胖是一种健康风险，多项研究已将这一临床病症与认知缺陷联系起来。在神经心理康复工具中，一款名为Peak的数字应用程序作为一种治疗方法已显示出积极效果。这项研究的目的是首次测量被诊断为肥胖症的患者的认知缺陷以及Peak数字认知神经康复疗法的效果。向同意参与的家长提供Peak治疗，为期6个月，包括神经认知评估。患者每天使用Peak五次，每次20分钟。在干预前后应用了神经心理注意力和记忆量表（NEUROPSI）。结果显示，干预后在注意力、执行功能、记忆力以及整体注意力和记忆力方面均有变化。观察到了显著的临床变化，诊断范围从重度降至中度。我们得出结论，通过使用Peak应用程序进行干预，可以改善注意力和记忆力，而这正是肥胖儿童患者的主要认知缺陷。
