(MENAFN– GlobeNewsWire – Nasdaq) SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Posit Science, creator of the brain health and fitness app BrainHQ, has announced that it has been awarded a new contract by the US Army’s Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).

“We are proud to expand our work with the military,” said Dr. Henry Mahncke, CEO of Posit Science. “Science has shown that our plasticity-based brain training exercises can improve cognitive performance in both top and top performers. recovery from concussions and blast exposures or even more serious brain injuries. BrainHQ brain health assessments can contribute to quick and accurate assessments of cognitive fitness.”

“BrainHQ is already used by the military in a variety of settings, including military hospitals such as the Walter Reed Intrepid National Center of Excellence and special forces units. There is an opportunity for the military to gain true cognitive dominance over adversaries by using BrainHQ assessments to assess cognitive readiness at the individual and unit level and to use BrainHQ’s proven cognitive training exercises to enable service members to achieve cognitive performance of peak and recover performance. after battle wounds,” continued Dr. Mahncke. “Over time, we expect our work with the military to contribute to preparedness, resilience and recovery.”

Over the past two decades, Posit Science has transformed applied neuroscience by designing, testing, and validating dozens of innovative brain exercises that have been shown to improve neuropsychological and physical measures of cognitive performance and brain health and have been used by to millions of people.

In recent years, Posit Science has also developed and standardized dozens of cognitive assessments, each taking about three minutes to complete. Assessments can be self-administered remotely and can be arranged to be carried out sequentially or in batteries designed for different purposes. Greater use of these rapid and validated assessments allows individuals and organizations to easily take a baseline of health and performance (at the brain level) and monitor changes over time.

Because the BrainHQ assessments were developed under the same umbrella as the BrainHQ Cognitive Exercises, they can also provide a roadmap for how the BrainHQ Cognitive Exercises can improve performance and, where appropriate, aid in faster and more complete recovery .

“In the near future, we expect that most of us will be able to perform this type of assessment ourselves, as easily as people already measure their weight, temperature, blood pressure or blood sugar at home,” said Dr. Mahncke. “This helps us move towards the promise of 21st century Medicine – to be predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory – and should improve brain health, performance and resilience.”

BrainHQ exercises have shown benefits in hundreds of studies. Such benefits include gains in cognition (attention, speed, memory, decision-making), quality of life (depressive symptoms, confidence and control, health-related quality of life), and real-world activities (health outcomes, balance, driving , workplace activities). BrainHQ is powered by leading Medicare Advantage and health plans, leading medical centers, clinics and communities, and the military, law enforcement, sports and other organizations focused on peak performance. Consumers can try a free BrainHQ exercise daily at .
