Self-administered COgnitive Personalized Training in Early Psychosis
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier St Anne
Summary
The overall objective of SCOPe is to improve early intervention in psychosis by providing an innovative eHealth tool that will enable personalized cognitive training, adapted to the individual's cognitive abilities. Cognitive remediation improves quality of life and functional outcome in patients with chronic psychosis. It would even be more efficacious in the early phase of psychosis by tackling the negative impact of psychosis on education achievement and employment. However, cognitive dysfunctions are often overlooked in FEP and cognitive remediation is not always accessible. New technologies can provide us with youth-friendly, non-stigmatizing tools, such as self administered, training applications so that all first-line clinical settings or professionals, and in fine all patients, can have access, wherever they live, to personalized cognitive training focusing on impaired functions. Early psychosis can be associated with inflammation, metabolic deficiency, as well as early structural brain anomalies that reflect brain plasticity abilities and could influence the prognosis and response to cognitive training. Our background hypothesis is that promoting neuroplasticity by cognitive training could attenuate or reverse early cognitive deficits and improve the overall functional outcome in young patients experiencing FEP and that this effect is modulated by individual brain plasticity abilities.

a mobile application for cognitive training
Personalized cognitive training (PCT) HappyNeuronwill be delivered via a tablet or mobile application for 24 hours within 12 weeks, with a weekly supervision-call to reinforce their motivation. HappyNeuron Pro is a digital therapy tool designed for clinicians to provide engaging cognitive therapy via a web-based platform. It is compatible with PC, Mac, iPad, and Android devices and is available in multiple languages. The tool features exercises from established cognitive remediation programs. Functionality: The program offers 22 cognitive exercises targeting seven key functions outlined in the MATRICS framework: Processing Speed, Selective Attention, Reasoning and Working Memory, Verbal Memory, Visual Memory, and Auditory Memory. Exercises are customizable to meet individual patient needs, facilitating personalized cognitive training. User Experience: Each session comprises brief, self-administered exercises, with the order and difficulty adjusted by clinicians.
