Gamified Cognitive Training for MCI: A Randomised Controlled Trial

van der Berg et al. — University of Twente, Netherlands

Participants in the COSMA group showed +20.3% activation in the prefrontal cortex vs control group after 8 weeks. Significant improvement in working memory (p<0.01).

COSMA Move: Upper Limb Motor Assessment Validity in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

BrainBerry Clinical Research Team · NHS Stroke Partnership

COSMA Move's in-app motor scoring correlates strongly (r=0.84, p<0.001) with Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Scale scores assessed by senior OT.

Our Methodology

How we measure what matters.

COSMA's assessments align with established clinical measures so results are meaningful and comparable.

🧠

MoCA Alignment

In-app cognitive screener correlates with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) across 7 cognitive domains.

📋

MMSE Compatible

COSMA domain scores map to Mini-Mental State Examination areas for longitudinal tracking.

🦾

Fugl-Meyer Scale

COSMA Move motor metrics validated against Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity scale (r=0.84).

📈

ACE-III Domains

Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III domains covered: attention, memory, fluency, language, visuospatial.

🧪

RCT Design

University of Twente study used gold-standard RCT design with blinded assessors and matched control group.

🔬

fNIRS Imaging

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy confirmed brain activation increases in the prefrontal cortex during COSMA play.
