Preliminary Findings
Key Findings:
- Positive Reception: Therapists embraced the Cognishine platform with enthusiasm,
recognizing its potential to modernize therapy sessions and expand treatment options beyond
traditional paper-based exercises. - Usability and Adaptation: While many therapists found the platform beneficial, some faced
challenges in its early adoption, particularly in navigating the interface and customizing
exercises for different patient profiles. - Improved Engagement and Efficiency: The platform enabled more interactive and dynamic
therapy sessions, reducing preparation time for therapists and enhancing patient engagement. - Patient Suitability: While Cognishine platform proved effective for patients with moderate
cognitive and motor functions, its applicability for patients with significant impairments
remains a challenge. Some therapists expressed the need for additional customization features
to expand the platform suitability to a broader range of patients. - Enhanced Functionality Over Time: With the introduction of the “Studio” feature and other
features coupled with ongoing refinements, the platform has become more user-friendly and
more aligned with therapist needs, leading to an increase in consistent use.
