Project Title & Details
Mobile/Web and AR-VR Based Cognition Tracking, Analysis and Rehabilitation for healthy and cognitively impaired people
Details : Cognitive impairment (mild, moderate and severe) is rapidly growing worldwide, however, there is no pharmacological cure for the same at the moment. Research has established that rehabilitation and early detection of cognitive impairment can minimize the progress of the impairment and also aid in maintaining cognitive abilities to live independently. Technology has a huge role in contributing to rehabilitation and early detection. Through our project we wish to develop a theoretical framework which can potentially gauge the cognitive performance of a person across the life course, and then develop a product that translates this framework into action.
