Interactive Cognitive Therapy System
iCTuS: Interactive Cognitive Therapy System iCTuS is an interactive, computer-based system for rehabilitation of patients with nervous system disorders. It is designed to deliver intensive, personalized therapy that mobilizes cognitive and motivational systems to accelerate recovery and improve its quality. The intensity of training and feedback can be systematically manipulated to create an appropriate learning approach. Other potential benefits include reduced therapy costs, improved patient/staff motivation, objective evaluation of patient status and possibilities for home-based rehabilitation and monitoring.
I provide biomedical engineering assistance to this project.
