Maker of cognitive training game seeks FDA approval

Good brief arti­cle at New Sci­en­tist, Mak­er of cog­ni­tive train­ing game seeks FDA approval:

- “Imag­ine walk­ing away from a doc­tor’s office with a pre­scrip­tion to play a video game. Brain Plas­tic­i­ty, the devel­op­er of a cog­ni­tive train­ing game, has begun talks with the Food and Drug Admin­is­tra­tion (FDA) to mar­ket the game as a ther­a­peu­tic drug.”

- “Brain Plas­tic­i­ty has been fine-tun­ing a game to help peo­ple with schiz­o­phre­nia improve the deficits in atten­tion and mem­o­ry that are often asso­ci­at­ed with the disorder.”

    Is there any­thing the FDA does­n’t think it needs to look at or con­trol to go to market?
