“…They use virtual texts or images and add them to the patient’s spatial environment by using a wearable AR system in form of a HDM. The idea for this procedure is to use associative learning in order to help the patient to orient and remember better 42 . AR apps for the treatment of aphasia make use of the real environment to perform augmented naming training, thus ensuring important components of relevance to everyday life 43 .…”

Background: A widely applied and effective rehabilitation method in stroke patients suffering from spatial neglect is the 'visual exploration training'. Patients improve their ipsilesional bias of attention and orientation by training of exploration movements and search strategies towards the contralesional side of space. Here we investigate the effectiveness of the augmented reality (AR)-based app 'Negami' for the treatment of spatial neglect in a randomized control trial. Negami combines a visual exploration training with active, contralesionally oriented rotation of eyes, head, and trunk. Methods: Twenty patients with spatial neglect were randomly assigned to the experimental Negami group or to a group receiving standard neglect therapy. Over a period of two weeks, both groups received five training sessions per week. Each session lasted about 25 minutes. Neglect behavior was assessed weekly over a five-week period, with the Negami therapy group receiving a second follow-up assessment at one-to-two-month intervals after completion of training. Results: Both groups improved significantly. While the Negami therapy group improved in four of five neglect tests used, the standard therapy group improved in only one of these tests. We observed significantly better improvement in the Negami group already after the first week of training. This difference was also significant after the end of the training as well as one week after the end of training and remained stable one to two months after the end of treatment. Conclusion: Negami can be used as an effective alternative or addition to current standard neglect therapy, and may even be superior to it.

This study examines the effectiveness of conventional and spatial augmented reality in assisting individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, which is characterized by memory loss and cognitive challenges. As neurodegenerative diseases become more prevalent in the aging population, AR solutions can improve daily functioning and independence. This study compares the usability and user perceptions of wearable AR and projection-based SAR in augmented living spaces. Results show that SAR significantly reduces cognitive load and anxiety compared to traditional wearable systems. Its intuitive interface and seamless environmental integration lead to improved user satisfaction and higher adoption rates. Participants consistently rated spatial augmented reality higher on all usability metrics, suggesting its suitability as a digital health intervention for individuals with aMCI. Adding to the theoretical discourse on the cognitive adoption of innovative digital health solutions, these findings highlight the need for user-centered AR technologies that improve health outcomes.

This study examined how AI-based tools affect memory, problem-solving, anxiety, motivation, self-efficacy, and creativity. AI therapies were tested for cognitive improvement and psychological well-being. Problem-solving skills including analytical thinking and decision-making improved, as did short-term memory (22.4 to 29.8) and long-term memory (23.5 to 28.6). Cognitive anxiety dropped from 2.5 to 1.8 and bodily anxiety from 2.3 to 1.8. Task-specific confidence increased from 1.8 to 2.5 and intrinsic motivation from 2.1 to 2.8. Still, inventiveness dropped from 75.2 to 70.1 and work ethic dropped marginally. These findings suggest that AI technologies improve cognitive and emotional well-being but may reduce creativity and work ethic. To comprehend AI's full influence, future study should examine its long-term implications on cognitive and psychological characteristics.
