Performance - NeuroCatch Inc.

For
Performance

The NeuroCatch^® Platform helps peak performers integrate brain health optimization with high-performance training. It offers a simple, objective, economical way to measure cognitive brain function using event-related brain potentials (ERPs).

Powered by our new Evoked Potential Input/Output (EPiO)™ technology, NeuroCatch^® provides a novel Brain Response Variability™ measurement – a game changer in neuro-focused patient treatment and research.

the challenge

Maintaining peak performance requires a disciplined focus on physical and mental optimization to achieve a competitive advantage. A full-spectrum approach includes physical training, practice, weight management, nutrition, hydration, and sleep.

Optimized brain health includes cognitive processing, agility and mental well-being. All are critical factors in peak performance, where the ability to react and respond as quickly and accurately as possible is key.

the solution

The NeuroCatch^® Platform is designed to assess cognitive processing directly using real-time brain responses. It measures cognitive processing speed and agility using millisecond resolution, providing peak performers with the data necessary to gain critically valuable reaction time advantages and maintain them through ongoing monitoring. Our innovative EPiO™ Adapter provides 10-15x improvement in temporal precision for unparalleled sensitivity to changes in cognitive brain responses, enabling the highest possible quality results.^[1]

Grounded in over 25 years of research and development in brain vital signs science, NeuroCatch^® extracts the N100, P300 and N400 evoked brain responses (or event-related potentials, ERPs). As a “brain fingerprint” of cognition, ERPs are impervious to user bias that attempts to hide the effects of a head injury, for instance. Using ERPs, NeuroCatch^® is sensitive in measuring cognitive brain changes following a suspected concussion, and it can be used by healthcare practitioners as a tool to help guide clinical care-related decisions.^[2]

The objective measurements of cognitive brain functions help peak performers understand how to best optimize their brain performance as a result of their training program. It also helps ensure cognitive performance is consistently optimized in the event of recovery from fatigue, injuries, and related factors.^[3]

Since June of 2019, Advantage 4 Athletes has been utilizing NeuroCatch^® in the assessment of our patients dealing with neurological conditions. In providing a detailed, objective perspective on a patient’s neurological functioning we can measure progress in a far more comprehensive way. NeuroCatch^® functions allow us to see the story of a patient’s treatment unfold. We are only scratching the surface with the applications for this technology and will continue to use it to support our patients in conjunction with other clinical monitoring tools.

“
Apollo Physical Therapy Centres is privileged to work with and provide quality support to those who are recovering from brain injury and concussion. By using NeuroCatch^®, we are able to objectively assess multiple domains of cognitive health and gain an understanding of areas that need improvement. This innovative and evidence-based technology not only gives our clinical staff an increased awareness of our clients health but also our clients cognitive function. Working with our clinical team, our clients can now more easily understand the impacts of their injury and can work with us to improve their deficits. By having this knowledge, they feel reassured that their brain injury is not just an “invisible injury”.

“
One of the greatest frustrations of having a concussion is that your symptoms are dismissed by others. MRI and CT imaging often classify results as “normal” as they look for physical markers of an injury, rather than physiological ones. This can leave clients feeling unheard. Having a tool that can help confirm their symptoms by looking for physiological markers not only reassures a client’s concerns, but also provides insightful information to clinicians so that we can specifically tailor treatment plans. The clinical information we gain from the NeuroCatch^® Platform leads to a targeted treatment approach, allowing us to assist clients in a way that may not have been previously possible.
