Clinical Trial

Researchers at IMH, Duke-NUS and A*STAR ran a clinical trial involving 172 children with ADHD within the ages 6 to 12 years old. A gamified intervention solution called “CogoLand” was used. The game requires the child to concentrate to get the avatar in the game to move.

The results showed that children who received 8 weeks of intervention showed more significant improvement in their inattentive symptoms than those who did not receive intervention.

Results of this trial have been published in reputable medical journals.

The objective of the game is to move a character through a maze using their brainwaves. Mentally focused users are able to move characters, while less focused users slow down or freeze the characters. The key task is to stay focused.

Clients to pair the Cogo mobile application with the SenzeBand 2 for the detection of brainwaves. The EEG waves will then be interpreted to mental states through machine learning algorithms, driving various game actions and challenges.

The activities in the Cogo are set to be completed in 30 minutes. Once a session is completed, the child will not be able to repeat the game nor will they be able to move forward until their next training session.

Your child may or may not experience slight headaches and dizziness. Rest assured that these are very minimal cases reported when a child is going through attention training. Most of the time, participants feel better and can carry on after taking a short break.

We recommend parents to play an active role during their child’s attention training programme.

Parents will be responsible for scheduling their child’s training sessions, ensuring there is a conducive environment for the training to take place and giving appropriate encouragement and motivation for session completion.

For every session completed, you will be able to view your child’s brain and game score on the post-session statistics and tracker on the app. Additionally, you will be able to gauge your child’s performance for that completed session by an attention graph and the distance travelled by the avatar.

Upon completing the 6th, 12th, 18th and 24th session, you will receive an email with a report of how your child is progressing so far in the training programme.

Our clinical trials have shown that the benefits of the programme are evident even after its completion. Brain scans were done on participants, and we found increased and continued activity in areas of the brain that controls attention functions, even 8 weeks after programme completion.
