NGVU-Cog+ App: Coming Soon to Support Your Brain Health
We’re excited to share that the NGVU-Cog+ App is on its way! This new app is designed to help you keep track of your brain health and mood in a simple, user-friendly way. Here’s a quick look at what it’s all about and what you can expect.
What is NGVU-Cog+?
NGVU-Cog+ is a mobile app that gives you real-time insights into your brain’s health and your mood. It uses a mix of cognitive tests (like memory and recognition tasks) and mental health questionnaires to provide a clear picture of how you’re doing. The app focuses on something called the neuro-glia-vascular unit, which is a fancy term for the parts of your brain that work together to keep it healthy.
The app doesn’t diagnose medical conditions or replace a doctor’s advice. Instead, it’s a tool to help you understand your cognitive and emotional state, and it’s meant to be used alongside professional guidance if needed.
What Does It Do?
The NGVU-Cog+ App includes several tests to assess different aspects of your brain and mood:
- Cognitive Tests: These check your memory and recognition skills. For example, one test asks you to recognize images, while another tests how well you recall them. The app measures how accurate you are, how fast you respond, and how confident you feel about your answers (on a 0-5 scale).
- Mental Health Tests: These include well-known questionnaires like:
- BDI-II (Depression): Scores from 0-3 per question, with some questions offering sub-options for sleep and appetite changes.
- MAIA (Bodily Awareness): Scores from 0-4, measuring how in tune you are with your body.
- PSS-10 (Stress): Scores from 0-5, assessing your stress levels.
- GAD-7 (Anxiety): Scores from 0-3, evaluating anxiety.
Before starting, the app asks if you’ve ever been diagnosed with a major psychiatric or neurological condition to better understand your background. Your answers help create a personalized summary of your results.
How Does It Work?
Once you complete the tests, NGVU-Cog+ combines the data to give you a summary of your cognitive and mental health. It’s like getting a quick snapshot of your brain’s performance and mood. The app also offers recommendations, like tips for managing stress or when to talk to a professional, based on your results.
You can save your results as a PDF to share with a doctor or keep for your records. If you’re curious about nearby specialists, the app can suggest psychologists, psychiatrists, or neurologists based on your location.
Why NGVU-Cog+?
What makes this app special is its focus on real-time assessment. It’s the first app to look at the neuro-glia-vascular unit health alongside mood, using straightforward tests anyone can do. Whether you’re just curious about your brain or want to monitor changes over time, NGVU-Cog+ aims to make it easy.
The app is also backed by science but designed to be clear for everyone. It’s not about diagnosing—it’s about giving you useful information to better understand yourself.
