Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) January 20, 2010 -- Psychological Software Service announces the latest update of Neuropsychonline for the treatment of cognitive problems stemming from traumatic brain injury, stroke, alcohol abuse, schizophrenia, attention deficit, learning disabilities and a host of other etiologies. Neuropsychonline is currently being used for rehabilitation treatment in over 300 facilities including four US Military Bases and five US Veteran's Administration Medical Centers. It is being used by clinicians in 27 countries around the world.
Psychological Software Service (PSS) has been providing scientific, evidence-based software applications for cognitive rehabilitation therapy for 25 Years and online professional cognitive rehabilitation applications since 2001. Dr. Odie Bracy, practicing clinical neuropsychologist and President of Psychological Software Service, has devoted his career to the research, development and clinical implementation of these comprehensive and very well designed therapy systems. The Neuroscience Center of Indianapolis and Dr. Bracy have played a major role in the research and development of computerized applications for examination, diagnostics and treatment dating back to 1981. The original PSSCogRehab Cognitive Rehabilitation System, developed by Dr. Bracy and first released in 1982, has been used in over 3000 facilites around the world and tens of thousands of patients have benefitted from this work. It is still being used by hundreds of facilities.
In 2001 Dr. Bracy took his work over to the Internet with the introduction of his Neuropsychonline system (www.neuropsychonline.com). It was truly the first such clinical system on the internet and was among the first of the rich internet applications that provide interactive programs and applications that run directly in your web browser. Now, after nine years of online clinical use, evolution and refinement Neuropsychonline provides the most comprehensive and fully researched cognitive skills training program available.
There is now an abundance of research supporting cognitive rehabilitation therapy, most of which was conducted with the use of computer assisted delivery. In fact, most of the major research projects in this area have utilized one of Dr. Bracy's therapy systems. An annotated bibliography, in the Research section of the Neuropsychonline website, reviews published research in which the investigators utilized the original PSSCogRehab therapy system or Neuropsychonline to produce significant results for their patient participants. Some of the currently ongoing clinical research and clinical trials utilizing Neuropsychonline or the children's spin off version of it, Challenging Our Minds (www.challenging-our-minds.com) include:

In developing the Neuropsychonline Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy System Dr. Bracy applied everything learned over the 25 year time span in this field to make this system the very best it can be for the treatment of our patients with brain function impairment from whatever cause. The system consists of six Tracks of exercises addressing:

Neuropsychonline currently has 72 fully functional tasks online and ready to use with four levels of skill in all but three of those tasks. The Tasks within each Track are already arranged in the most appropriate protocol/order for presentation to the patient. Patients' performance is continuously assessed by the system and they are automatically passed up to the next level when performance reaches a certain criterion. The Automated Rx path advances a patient to the next Task within a Track when the current Task is fully mastered, however, under the Manual Control path, the therapist can modify Rxs and choose what will be presented to the patient. With just a click on a menu item presented on the therapist control panel screen the therapist can Add a new patient, Select the patient from a roster, Write a Rx, Run a task with a patient, Create Chart Notes, View/Print a patient's data table or progress report or Sign Up a patient for home-based therapy.
Neuropsychonline provides the clinician/therapist with unlimited use of the software to assess, diagnose, write clinical reports about and treat an unlimited number of patients. Since NPO is delivered over the internet, one can login from any computer, anywhere, to run reports or do therapy with a patient. Use with patients within the facility incurs no additional charges while use of the system outside of the facility (i.e. at home use) requires a separate patient subscription.
Neuropsychonline was designed for use by psychologists, physicians, speech therapists, occupational therapists and other qualified professionals in their private practices and/or hospital/healthcare systems. Free trials are available for qualified professionals. Visit the website and request your free trial.
