Is HappyNeuron Pro clinically validated?
HappyNeuron Pro is a tool designed to be used by trained clinicians with their patients. It is first and foremost a tool at the service of the clinician: a library of materials, tasks and ideas that clinicians can choose from for use with their patients.
Because its use is tailored to the needs of each patient, there is no static framework for using our program. The program does not impose a particular duration, intensity or method. We have thus not sought to define a strict protocol for clinical validation.
However, many research teams and practitioners around the world have worked on global therapy approaches that include our programs with very positive results. Check out a list of the major studies and publications.
Do you provide training?
We are happy to provide free online training sessions to all clinicians. This training mainly covers the use of the platform: creating and managing users, customizing user training, following-up on user performance, configuring home access and workouts, etc.
You can book a training session at your earliest convenience online.
However, we do not provide training on the fundamentals of cognitive rehabilitation and how to set up a cognitive training program in a medical setting. For those seeking information or training on these topics, we do recommend the NEAR (Neuropsychological and Educational Approach to Remediation) approach, which is a holistic recovery-oriented cognitive remediation program that has been widely disseminated worldwide.
Please consult the research behind NEAR and the therapist guide for more information.
Do you offer assistance to researchers?
HappyNeuron is very happy to support research projects in the field of cognitive stimulation. Special pricing plans are available to research teams who wish to use HappyNeuron Pro in their studies.
Contact us and send us the details of your research projects to see how we can help support your study.
