New VR Tool Targets Early Detection of Cognitive Impairment

Virtual reality technology firm Virtuleap has introduced Cogniclear VR, a new cognitive assessment and screening tool. The company, which specializes in merging VR with neuroscience, has developed the product to improve the detection and monitoring of cognitive impairments through gamified scenarios that analyze cognitive and behavioral functions. “Cogniclear VR combines psychometric measures with physical cues, such as posture, gestures, as well as physiological signals like pupil dilation and heart rate variability, all on a single platform, and so gathers an order of magnitude more data about the human condition,” Virtuleap CEO Amir Bozorgzadeh told us.
