Game ‘EndeavorRX’ may help treat neurological sequelae of COVID-19
Gambling is being prescribed as therapy after many people have reported that after recovering from the disease, they have been feeling more confused and unfocused more often. Early studies indicate that symptoms may persist for a few months.
EndeavorRX, developed by Akili Interactive, made history last summer by becoming the first title of its kind to be validated as a medical treatment by the American drug authority. The title is recommended for children between the ages of 8 and 12 who suffer from an attention deficit.
This game helps patients to develop the ability to perform several tasks simultaneously, and there is already evidence of its effectiveness in this specific aspect.
The results of the tests already conducted indicate that the game results with an older segment, both in cases of depression and in cases of cognitive problems. In some cases, the game has helped to reconnect neural networks that support our attention and execution skills.
