REDUCE FALLS AND IMPROVE COGNITION

The HUR SENSO is a dual-tasking fall reduction and cognitive training platform designed to support independent living. The think and move integrated, fun and easy to use equipment simultaneously improves physical and cognitive function through interactive motor training activities and gaming.  The platform sensors dynamically capture all of the vital data with easy to understand results that ensure improved cognitive and activity levels for all users.

Research indicates a clear correlation between physical exercise and cognitive abilities.  A 2016 meta-analysis found that dual-tasking, performing a cognitive and motor task at the same time, improved cognition better than physical exercise alone.  A 2017 study found that dual-tasking can help people with mild cognitive impairment or early stage dementia.  This particular study found that dual tasking improved the ability to do activities of daily living, improved mood and reduced depression.   

KEY BENEFITS

• Cognition and fall assessment tests

• Trains and improves balance and cognition

• Automated progressions for all acuity levels

• Fun and social; a collection of games that simulate everyday movements to support ADL’s

• User-friendly interface

• RFID user identification interface (no sign-ins required)

• Outcome management tool to easily track improvements and see results

• Cloud based software for remote access and live updates

ASSESS

The SENSO identifies fall risk, potential areas of weakness and helps establish an individuals baseline.

• Step Reaction Test

• Four Square Step Test (FSST) measures dynamic balance and identifies potential fall risk

• Benchmark scoring based on movement patterns and the ability to perform cognitive tasks

• Progress tracking through individual scores fuels user motivation

• Cognitive and motor tasks measured in milliseconds 

TRAIN

The SENSO uses fun, dual-tasking fall reduction and cognitive training game-style exercises to improve executive function and includes: 

• Progressive training adapts and gets increasingly difficult to challenge the user

• Personalized cognitive tasks are linked to motor movements

• Customized routines address and improve the user's unique cognitive and/or balance weaknesses

• Goal setting and report tracking for individual progress and outcomes

ENGAGE

The HUR Senso format keeps the user interested and increases the likelihood of program adherence through 

• Gamification  that provides fun and interactive challenges designed to build strength and improve cognitive function

• A variety of 25+ different fun and engaging games

• Quick engagement in an easy to learn interface that supports user independence

INTERVIEW WITH DR SHAWN WATSON

Neuroscientist and CEO of Senescence Life Sciences Dr. Shawn Watson sat down with us to discuss the relationship between brain ageing and dual-tasking.
