NeuroNation and its associated medical app NeuroNation MED are cognitive training software applications developed by the German healthcare technology company Synaptikon GmbH. [1] [2] [3] NeuroNation was launched in 2011. [4]
The online platform was launched in 2011, and initially served Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. [5] In 2014, Der Spiegel and XLHealth AG bought a 25% stake in NeuroNation, financing an expansion into English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Portuguese markets. [5]
NeuroNation is a multi-modal cognitive training application for prevention of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive enhancement. [6] [7]
Its use is reimbursed by several German health insurers, including Deutsche BKK. [8] While the NeuroNation app and similar ones are heavily advertised with claims of improving general cognitive function, there is no evidence to show that NeuroNation or similar programs do so; at most they improve performance in the training tasks given in the program. [9] [10]
The program began with a single-payment model, later shifting to a subscription business model. [11] The app offers some content free, while other activities are available through in-app purchases. [12]
In the "Intera-KT" project, NeuroNation collaborated with the Berlin University Hospital Charité and other partners to digitise paper-based cognitive tests. [13]
NeuroNation is currently participating in a study on the effects of independent cognitive training using Neuronation MED on patients with mild cognitive disorders and patients with Post COVID-19 condition. [14]
In several studies, healthy participants who have used NeuroNation as a cognitive training tool have shown positive effects for working memory, memory, and executive functions. [15] [16] [17] One study by MSH Medical School Hamburg and the University of Würzburg observed that subjects who participated in NeuroNation exercises exhibited improved memory, concentration, and general well-being.
