Therapy Apps:
Eye-Search
Eye-Search is a free online therapy for patients with visual search problems caused by brain injury. It is a clinically proven, behavioural therapy designed to improve patients' speed and accuracy when finding objects.
Read-Right
Read-Right is a therapeutic web-based app for people with hemianopic alexia (HA). HA is a condition caused by focal brain damage (e.g. stroke) which damages a person’s vision relating to one half of the visual world (usually to the right in HA). As a result, HA readers are deprived of the upcoming words when reading which results in HA readers making many extra eye-movements. The app displays scrolling text, which retrains the eye movements important for reading.
iReadMore
iReadMore is a new reading therapy app designed to improve word-reading speed and accuracy in people who have language problems (aphasia) after stroke. Our research demonstrates that iReadMore is effective.
