Overview & getting started

Getting started

Log in and get to know the home screen.

Cognitive training is a web-based exercise environment with 28 games across five cognitive areas. You log in with a username and password — or via Google, Apple or Microsoft — and then go straight to the home screen.

  3. 3Programs — combine several games into a sequence.
  4. 4Instructions — explanation, demo and controls for each game.
  5. 5Settings — adjust parameters and difficulty.
  6. 6Data interface — view sessions and progress.

Good to know

Below the tiles is a bar of six buttons: profile, radio, dark mode, help, language and logout. As a private user you can start straight away; therapists first select the person via the profile button (page 4).

Training

Choose and start a training.

Trainings are the heart of the application. You choose an individual game from one of the five areas, first view a short instruction with a demo, and then start straight away.

How to start a training

  1. Choose a profile — therapists only: activate the profile of the person training. As a private user, start straight away at step 2.
  2. Open «Training» — tap the Training tile on the home screen.
  3. Select a game — a game from one of the five colour-coded areas; favourites appear at the top.
  4. View the instruction — read the short explanation with demo and controls.
  5. Play — during the game the buttons Skip and Exit are available at the top right.
  6. Analysis — at the end you see the points, the new level and, where applicable, a medal.

Each game has 30 difficulty levels. The right starting level comes from the screening (page 4) or can be set in the settings.

Profiles, screening & programs

Organise

Profiles, screening and programs.

Three tools make training traceable: profiles save progress, the screening finds the right starting level, and programs combine games into a routine.

Screening
Screening. Determines a suitable starting level for each game.
Programs
Programs. Put together a fixed sequence of several games.
Profiles
As a private user you train directly — your results are saved automatically. Therapists create a separate profile for each person they support and select it before training; it saves levels, settings, results and medals.
Screening
Choose a short screening (core games), a long screening or all games. The recommendations are only applied to the profile with Save and finish.
Programs
A program is a fixed sequence of several games — ideal for recurring routines. Programs can be named, assigned to a profile and started with one click.

Analysis & settings

Analyse

Progress in the data interface.

The data interface shows a profile's entire training history. The settings adapt each game to the person training.

Data interface
Data interface. Profiles on the left, the analysis on the right.
Settings
Settings. Parameters and difficulty progression for each game.

In the data interface, select a profile on the left. The overview shows sessions, levels reached, medals and progress over time; the filters at the top narrow down the period and the area.

In the settings, you adjust each game — pace, number of trials, response window — and see the difficulty progression of levels 1 to 30. Global options such as dark mode and the language apply to the whole application.
