How Cognifit Works

If you are struggling to stay focused or think clearly, Cognifit is a fun, interactive way to improve your mental abilities. The Cognifit app identifies your cognitive strengths and areas for improvement with a report based on your game performance. With a series of digital games, you can train your brain to focus more effectively.

Cognifit offers programs for children and adults to improve daily performance. The treatment begins with a cognitive assessment that analyzes more than 20 different cognitive functions. Erin can use the assessment to understand how your brain works and create a treatment plan to help you find relief from the symptoms you are struggling with.

Erin can recommend different types of treatments based on your symptoms and underlying conditions. If you have a condition such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, or stress, retraining your brain to enhance your focus and ability to concentrate can help you in many aspects of your daily life. The ability to think critically and clearly can also improve your personal and professional relationships. Cognifit offers a series of games that can improve your performance in several key areas:

  • Perception
  • Coordination
  • Memory
  • Concentration
  • Reasoning
  • Reading Comprehension

Candidates & Consultation

During your consultation, Erin will ask about your symptoms to develop a personalized plan for your needs. If you have any conditions that affect your mental performance, she will need to know to adjust your treatment plan. She will also ask about your lifestyle and how you are feeling on a daily basis to establish a starting point to help you enhance your performance. Since the treatment can help both adults and children, she can discuss the best series of games based on your symptoms and age to help you improve.

Cognifit can also improve the cognitive performance of aging adults who are experiencing declining levels of mobility. (2) Depending on the symptoms you are experiencing, she may recommend neurofeedback therapy or brain mapping to ensure she selects the best treatment plan for your needs. If certain events trigger your symptoms, she may recommend that you avoid these triggers during your treatment to help your body recover.

Treatment Protocol

During a Cognifit treatment, you will play a series of games to optimize your brain function, and Erin will analyze your performance over time. You can access the games on the Cognifit app without the need for a headset or any other gaming accessories. Based on your performance, you will receive a score from the app that Erin can use to monitor your progress during your treatment. She can adjust your protocol over time to help you enhance your hand-eye coordination, ability to focus, and short-term memory.

Most patients will need to train with the app at least three times each week for approximately 20 minutes. You can retrain your brain from the comfort of your own home and follow up with Erin as she recommends.

Progressive Treatment

As you play more games and your performance improves, your Cognifit score will improve. Erin can continually adjust your treatment plan and monitor your progress, selecting the best series of games for your needs to reduce your symptoms. Over time, the app generates a report based on your performance that can help you identify areas for improvement and patterns that are affecting your ability to function effectively.

Cognifit Results

It can take several weeks for the games to improve your cognitive function, and you will need to play the games that Erin recommends consistently to improve your performance. Over time, you can enjoy improved memory, heightened attention, mental clarity, and enhanced coordination. Some patients may notice that their academic performance improves or that they can function more effectively at work. Others may experience an improvement in their intimate relationships or find that retraining their brain helps to mitigate attention concerns caused by underlying conditions such as ADHD or autism.

Additional Treatments

Brain Mapping

Brain mapping is an evaluation of your brain’s structure and activity that can help Erin understand more about the symptoms you are experiencing. With brain mapping, she can analyze how your brain works to create a specialized treatment plan and identify any repetitive behaviors or thought patterns to help you improve your well-being. If Erin recommends brain mapping as part of your treatment plan, you will need to avoid stimulants such as caffeine beforehand. You will also need to avoid alcohol because it can interfere with the mapping process.

David Delight

David Delight optimizes your brain waves with audio-visual entrainment technology (AVE) to improve your daily performance. With pulsing lights and biannual beats, this noninvasive treatment helps your brain experience healthier brainwave patterns that promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve cognitive performance. During the treatment, you will need to wear an eye set consistently at home for several weeks as directed. The convenient treatment can help you improve your energy, sleep, and mood for long-lasting results.

Myndlift

Myndlift is another app that retrains your brain with a series of games, but it does so by adjusting the games in real-time based on your brain’s electrical impulses. During the treatment, you will wear a headset with small electrodes that measure your brain’s activity and communicate with the Myndlift app to adjust the pace of the games based on your performance. There are several conditions that the Myndlift app can help with, including OCD, alcoholism, PTSD, addiction, depression, and insomnia.
