A team of psychologists from Indore has developed an innovative tool to help stroke survivors recover cognitive functions.

Cognitive impairment is a common consequence of stroke, characterised by deficits in cognitive functioning, language and functional abilities. Innovative technological approaches, such as computerised cognitive retraining, offer promising strategies for mitigating cognitive challenges. However, despite their potential, the impact of these interventions on neuropsychological function and daily living capabilities has poor outcomes.

The latest study by psychologists from Indore, one of whom was formerly with NIMHANS, published last month in Scientific Reports, a Nature journal, may offer new hope to stroke survivors. Introducing a cutting-edge approach to neurorehabilitation, the psychologists have come up with a tool that functions like a game, adapting in real-time to the patient’s abilities. It targets critical cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and problem-solving through tailored exercises, one of the researchers said.
