Zip and The Misty Mountain – a game available on Android\u00a0and iOS employs a Nurosky Mindwave (brainwave-sensing) headset which collects\u00a0brainwave data using advanced algorithms, the game directly targets children between the ages of 6-12 but this particular health-tech has the potential to go on and be applied in a valuable way in targetting all ages.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrainwaves are detected by Bluetooth using the\u00a0headset and sent into the backend of our Zip<\/em> game.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Zip<\/em> game motivates the child to be attentive and the child responds in real-time, to reward the child for focus, filling the focus meter means they get special soaring powers.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo finish each level, Zip<\/em> must fill his focus meter and clear the mist to wake the sleeping monks.\u00a0Long-term outcomes can be permanent because the child is learning to regulate their attention.\u00a0Parents receive\u00a0digestible\u00a0and\u00a0actionable feedback\u00a0on what their child has learned and the improved attention behaviours observed.\u201d – CEO \u00c1ine Behan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Driven by the belief that there are more effective ways to support people with attention deficit difficulties than prescription pills, Cortechs\u00a0CEO is quoted as saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Cortechs, we\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0want people taking pills\u00a0when they\u00a0don\u2019t need to; we\u00a0believe they\u00a0should always be the last form of intervention for\u00a0managing social skills, coping strategies and regulating attention,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
