Everyday-based cognitive training with teora mind
teora mind is the first and only medical device approved under the MDR in the EU that can be used to treat cognitive deficits in neurorehabilitation. Our medical product is a therapy software that uses virtual reality to simulate everyday life in a playful and tangible way. Patients who suffer from difficulties with memory, attention or concentration often have problems that become apparent in everyday life. For this reason, teora mind focuses on these activities of daily living (ADL). In different scenarios, for example, coffee making, organizing the refrigerator or gardening can be practiced. teora mind enables you to train with those affected in a safe environment in situations that they encounter every day and actively prepare them for their return to everyday life.

teora mind is study-tested
The teora mind therapy application is based on the latest scientific research findings and was developed together with practitioners and those affected in a practical way. In addition, we conduct our own studies. In a study, we have already found that virtual reality or treatment with it is well accepted by older adults in general, but also by stroke patients in particular. Regardless of any previous contact with virtual reality, the participants were able to find their way around teora mind after a short time.
teora mind exceeds the Gold Standard
In addition, the effectiveness of teora mind was compared with the current standard treatment in a randomized controlled trial. The current Gold Standard involves abstract exercises performed on a computer. Thereby e.g. Fish wearing a pearl selected or the steps to build a snowman put in the right order.
In the study, 42 stroke patients were randomized to receive standard therapy or were treated with teora mind. After 4-6 weeks of therapy with an average of 18.7 treatment sessions of 30-45 minutes, changes in cognitive skills were measured: The VR group achieved significant improvements in the areas of planning and problem solving. The control group with standard therapy showed no improvement. Both groups had the same baseline level.
The treatment was well received by both sufferers and treatment providers. No serious side effects were observed.
The study results suggest that VR training with teora mind is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with cognitive deficits.
Components of the teora mind system
The teora mind therapy software is supplied together with the required hardware. Included in the overall system are:
- A mobile VR goggle (model: Pico 4) incl. two controllers. However, all exercises can also be performed one-handed.
- A therapy tablet (model: Samsung Galaxy Tab A), which allows therapists to monitor the training success of their patients in real time and configure the therapy plan accordingly.
The hardware is already prepared in such a way that it only needs to be switched on before training begins. No additional technical equipment is needed. Only a stable and password-protected W-LAN network needs to be provided. The Internet connection enables transmission from the VR goggles to the tablet of the person treating the patient.
Digital therapy support with teora platform
The teora platform web application included in the teora mind system enables you to accompany your patients beyond the therapy room. You can compile special exercises from teora mind into personalized therapy plans, evaluate training successes and make possible adjustments to the plan. It goes without saying that teora platform complies with the applicable data protection regulations.
