neotiv

neotiv is a spin-off of the Otto von Guericke University in the German city of Magdeburg in close collaboration with the Magdeburg site of the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). neotiv incorporates the latest scientific findings from the fields of neuroscience and dementia research into mobile software that can be used on smartphones and tablets. Our work focuses on the development of a digital assistant that can monitor and aid users' memories and provide support for patients with dementia. neotiv is also designed to improve the early detection of Alzheimer's dementia and to facilitate efficacy monitoring for new therapies as they become available in the future. Biologically and anatomically valid and user-oriented measurements of specific memory functions, which can be carried out on a regular basis, form the core of the development of neotiv. The measurements focus on regions of the brain that are affected in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The vision behind neotiv is to (i) help reducing risk factors for cognitive decline by making lifestyle change simple and cognitive health measurable and (ii) to enable the innovative early detection of cognitive difficulties and dementia risk.
