“…Nevertheless, it may be more adequate to consider that the active condition of the Control group could somehow impact the cognitive and social cognition performance of the patients. In fact, previous studies have observed that non-specific computerized games may have some impact in executive functions, such as working memory, and reaction time in first-episode schizophrenia patients (Dang et al, 2014). These results could also suggest that the effect of the NPT-MH intervention treating cognitive deficits in patients with psychosis in early phases of the illness is small or insignificant.…”

“…For example, in patients with schizophrenia, tablets and computerized cognitive training programs have shown some success in improving neuropsychological functioning 24,25 . Moreover, computerized cognitive training three times per week for eight consecutive weeks in patients with unipolar depression and bipolar patients in the depressive phase of the disorder has been shown to result in fewer cognitive failures, fewer dysexecutive incidents, and improved neuropsychological scores 26 .…”

Population aging is an enormous public health issue and there is clear need for strategies to maximize opportunities for successful aging. Many psychiatric illnesses are increasingly thought to be associated with accelerated aging, therefore emerging data on individual and policy level interventions that alter typical aging trajectories are relevant to mental health practitioners. Although the determinants and definition of successful aging remain controversial, increasing data indicate that psychiatric illnesses directly impact biological aging trajectories and diminish lifestyle, psychological and socio-environmental factors that seem reduce risk of morbidity and mortality. Many interventions designed to enhance the normal course of aging may be adjunctive approaches to management of psychiatric illnesses. We highlight recent data on interventions seeking to promote healthy aging, such as cognitive remediation, physical activity, nutrition, and complementary and alternative treatments for older people with and without psychiatric illnesses.

“…Well, these applications mainly focus on services such as ambulatory monitoring, reporting and management and do not strictly target the cognitive deficits. Dang et al (2014) tested the feasibility of iPad assisted cognitive training (working memory-N Back task) for first-episode schizophrenic patients [13]. The subjects were engaged for 60 minutes a day; 5 days per week.…”

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of computerized cognitive remediation through 3 months randomized controlled trial in Indian patients with schizophrenia. Nineteen chronic schizophrenic patients were recruited and randomized into Cognitive Training (CT) and Treatment as Usual (TAU) groups. Neuropsychological assessments were done before and after 3 months of cognitive training on the developed program. As compared to TAU, the CT group exhibited significant improvement in speed of processing (p= 0.031, 95% Confidence Interval CI [-90.36 to -29.64], large effect size Φ = 0.7) and sustained attention (digit span -time, (p= 0.015, 95% CI [-99.40 to -41.60], large effect size Φ = 0.7)). The outcome of this study shows that the computerized cognitive training is feasible and useful in treating cognitive deficits in Indian patients with schizophrenia.
