Sharp Brains: Brain Fitness and Cognitive Health News

Neuroplasticity, Brain Fitness and Cognitive Health News

New market report analyzing the growing Digital Brain Health market 2012–2020

We are proud to release today what we believe is our best mar­ket intel­li­gence report so far, track­ing how fully auto­mated appli­ca­tions designed to assess, mon­i­tor and/ or enhance cog­ni­tion and brain func­tion­ing are trans­form­ing brain health, and health overall.

Here are a few exam­ples of what we mean by Dig­i­tal Brain Health, selected from among the 5 Mar­ket Lead­ers and 10 Com­pa­nies to Watch in 2013/2014 iden­ti­fied through our com­pre­hen­sive analysis.

  • A 30-minute online brain health assess­ment and per­son­al­ized brain fit­ness pro­gram used by large com­pa­nies like Nation­wide Insur­ance and Accen­ture to improve employee’s pro­duc­tiv­ity and men­tal wellness
  • An online cog­ni­tive train­ing pro­gram offered by sev­eral large AAA chap­ters to mem­bers age 50+ to improve dri­ving safety
  • A com­put­er­ized cog­ni­tive behav­ioral ther­apy offered by the NHS in the UK as a first-line inter­ven­tion for anx­i­ety and depression
  • A fully dig­i­tal head­set and plat­form that mea­sures basic brain states (such as level of atten­tion) and is being used to help peo­ple med­i­tate bet­ter and reduce ADHD symptoms
  • An iPad-based assess­ment that tracks cog­ni­tive per­for­mance over time to help detect con­cus­sions among football/ hockey play­ers and mil­i­tary personnel

Report Sum­mary

This new 211-page mar­ket report tracks devel­op­ments at over fifty pub­lic and pri­vate com­pa­nies offer­ing fully auto­mated appli­ca­tions designed to assess, mon­i­tor and/ or enhance cog­ni­tion and brain func­tion­ing, and pro­vides impor­tant indus­try data, insights and analy­sis to help exec­u­tives, entre­pre­neurs, technology/ health inno­va­tors and pol­icy mak­ers nav­i­gate the oppor­tu­ni­ties and risks of the rapidly grow­ing Dig­i­tal Brain Health field. The report dis­cusses the tech­nol­ogy and mar­ket oppor­tu­ni­ties aris­ing from grow­ing neu­ro­science find­ings on healthy aging, peak per­for­mance, and a num­ber of dis­or­ders such as atten­tion deficits, dyslexia, stroke and trau­matic brain injury, schiz­o­phre­nia, mild cog­ni­tive impair­ment, and Alzheimer’s dis­ease. The report also pro­vides infor­ma­tion and frame­works to help insti­tu­tions make informed invest­ment, part­ner­ing and pur­chase decisions.

The report includes:

  • Sur­vey: The com­plete results of an exclu­sive March-April 2012 mar­ket sur­vey with 3,000+ respondents
  • Ven­dor analy­sis: A pro­pri­etary Mar­ket & Research Momen­tum Matrix to cat­e­go­rize 47 tech­nol­ogy ven­dors into four cat­e­gories, com­bined with 53 in-depth com­pany profiles
  • Pro­pri­etary Mar­ket data: 2005–2012 mar­ket esti­mates and 2013–2020 mar­ket pro­jec­tions per cus­tomer seg­ment and tech­nol­ogy type; 8 Indus­try Per­spec­tives writ­ten by key indus­try leaders
  • Inno­va­tion case stud­ies: Ten detailed case stud­ies pre­pared by the Top 10 Final­ists in the 2010 Brain Fit­ness Inno­va­tion Awards
  • Research analy­sis: 23 Research Exec­u­tive Briefs writ­ten by lead­ing sci­en­tists at promi­nent research labs
