More about our program design:

Targeting Root Problems
As the brain grows older or developes a dementia, it gradually loses speed, accuracy and recording strength for processing information from the senses. This results in a progressive loss of memory and other cognitive abilities. Our program uses proprietary programs to:

• Speed up brain function
  In every program exercise, the sensory stimuli (sounds or visual information) begin at a slower pace and gradually speed up with the aim of retraining the brain to process information at high speeds.
• Improve accuracy
  Our programs incorporate patented technology that algorithmically processes and adjusts the stimuli based on user responses with the goal of helping the brain refine its accuracy.
• Strengthen recording
  Several program elements are specifically designed to exercise the brain machinery that accounts for recording strength.

Our Cognitive Therapy Program focuses on these objectives for the auditory system (processing sound) and the visual system (processing visual information).

Or program uses a special protocol known as SAAGE which is incorporated in the proprietary program we use to improve the brain’s ability to receive, interpret, and store the information it receives from the senses. A scientifically verified set of compliance standards, the SAAGE protocol is based on a specific, data-driven understanding of the root causes of cognitive issues.

In addition to meeting the SAAGE criteria, the program we use incorporates UFOV. UFOV is a visual training and assessment technology that has been the subject of numerous studies, many funded by the National Institutes of Health. This important design element enables patients to experience a broad range of benefits, from improved reaction times, to expanded area over which individuals can see without moving their head or eyes (useful field of view), to better overall health and well-being.

Screen Shot Exercise Name Goal High or Low? Encourages faster sound processing to help the brain respond to even the quickest speech Tell Us Apart Gives the brain practice distinguishing similar sounds to help it interpret speech and store clear memories of it Match It! Aims to improve the clarity of memory by sharpening the precision with which the brain processes sound Sound Replay Pushes the brain to remember information in order, which affects the ability to engage in and remember conversation Listen and Do Works out working memory, the short-term memory that is critical in almost all cognitive tasks related to thinking Story Teller Promotes stronger memory for details to strengthen communication abilities

Screen Shot Exercise Name Goal Bird Safari Sharpens your visual precision and expands your useful field of view so you capture more visual information, more accurately Jewel Diver Exercises divided attention so you can track multiple moving objects at the same time Sweep Seeker Speeds up visual processing so you can spot and react to things more quickly Road Tour Expands your useful field of view and speeds up processing for safer navigation and faster reaction Master Gardener Works out your working memory so you can recall visual details

All patients evaluated in our center are considered for our Cognitive Therapy Program. Some patients however, may not be considered good candidates for a variety of reasons (the most common reason being an advanced stage of dementia). One session  averages between 40 and 60 minutes, twice a week at the NEPA Memory & Alzheimer's Center.

As with physical fitness, brain fitness requires some time to achieve. A regular schedule of therapy at the center is required for 6-12 weeks.

Dozens of studies, many published in peer-reviewed journals, have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proprietary program we utilize and of other forms of cognitive therapy. Review studies and results.
