The CR-Psychiatry Program

The Cognitive Remediation in Psychiatry Program provides a specific methodology for cognitive stimulation, which proved to be efficient in the treatment of schizophrenia and depression. The program comprises a set of specific exercises with pre-defined levels and sequences. The program was designed in partnership with Dr. Pascal Vianin from Lausanne Hospital in Switzerland and Pr Roland Jouvent La Pitié Salpétrière Hospital, Paris, France.

The CR-Psychiatry Program's exercises were shown to be clinically effective in the RECOS Method of Psychiatry Department of Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (DP-CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland. See our clinical validation

Patient progression rules
- Each exercise has 10 pre-defined challenge levels
- The patient starts each exercise at level one.
- With two successful exercise results (100% accuracy) at one level, the patient graduates to the next level.
Clinician has detailed views to the patient's progression through the program.
- Graphically view the patient activity level and progression achievement level for each targeted cognitive exercise.

Once you have selected your patient, you can see his/her results.

The exercises are grouped in modules to ease the process of building an adapted training plan for your patients.

Processing Speed

This module includes activities which require answering quickly. In addition, it trains the subject's sustained attention as he has to maintain performance and vigilance over a long period of time.

Selective Attention / Vigilance

These exercises train the ability to remain focused on a task or source of information.

Working Memory

These exercises train the ability to temporarily maintain and process information necessary for cognitive activities.

Verbal Learning

This module includes perfect exercises to improve verbal memory. It also helps build a strategy (place words into categories for example) to effectively remember a list of words.

Visual Learning

This module contains exercices designed to train visual and spatial abilities. It aims at training the patient's visual mental imagery and more particularly mental rotation in a 3D space.

Reasoning and Problem solving

This module is specifically designed to train reasoning (capacity to make deductions from hypotheses). It contains language-based tasks and visual activities.

Auditory

This module contains exercises which involve auditory working memory.

Clinical Validation

The Scientific Brain Training PRO CR-Psychiatry, and other programs have been validated in a number of clinical studies.
