This Digital Health Tool is Proven to Improve Cognitive Fitness | Jean Castonguay, NeuroTracker

By JESSICA DAMASSA, WTF HEALTH

Neuroscience startup, NeuroTracker, has a virtual training tool with a proven ability to help improve “cognitive fitness.” Jean Castonguay, co-founder, board member and Head of Global Strategic Partnerships at NeuroTracker, explains the science and clinical validation behind their tech and drops some big name users in the process — Manchester United, German and French soccer teams, US special forces, as well as some of the world’s leading sports concussion rehabilitation clinics. What sets the startup apart from other companies in the mental performance space? How have they shored up their science in the face of Lumosity’s Federal Trade Commission suit against false claims about brain health outcomes? It shook up the industry, and NeuroTracker actually feels it strengthened their business and their value proposition.
