Survey finds significant promise for home-based, data-rich cognitive therapy among stroke survivors
Telehealth Sees Success in Therapy (MHealth Intelligence):
“Telehealth-based therapy programs for stroke survivors have helped increase cognitive and language skills and enabled patients to receive therapy five times more often, according to one company.
The survey of more than 20 million therapy sessions by Boston-based Constant Therapy is in line with reports from mHealth advocates who say home-based physical and cognitive therapy programs can improve outcomes and frequency…According to Cooper, in analyzing more than 20,000 sessions on Constant Therapy’s NeuroPerformance Engine, the company saw a 15 percent improvement in language and cognitive exercises among patient with severe disabilities who completed 100 exercises; that improvement jumped to 40 percent after 500 exercises. Processing speed in language and cognitive exercises, meanwhile, improved by 20 percent after 100 exercises and a whopping 80 percent after 500 exercises.
Overall, Cooper said, stroke survivors using the mHealth platform received five times more therapy than those who travelled to a clinic or their therapist’s office.”
