BrainBerry Launches the COSMA App for People with Dementia

March 12, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

COSMA establishes emotional well-being for people living with dementia

BrainBerry is dedicated to the research and development of effective digital therapies which developed the COSMA Application. The gamification app for dementia is built based on scientific base evidence and aims at promoting emotional well-being for those who suffer from the same. Their first scientific paper on the same has also been published to prove its efficiency on emotional well-being for people living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia. http://journal.seriousgamessociety.org/index.php/IJSG/article/view/412/411

Dementia is a broad category of neurodegenerative brain diseases that includes Alzheimer’s, Vascular Dementia, and Lewy Body Dementia, etc. Whilst the use of medication is undoubtedly vital in helping both severe and light sufferers of Dementia, BrainBerry believes that Dementia prevention is still an underdeveloped form of treatment and COSM could potentially change the way the earlier stages of Dementia are treated.

Brainberry is a digital healthcare company that came into existence in 2016. They aim at implementing the idea of a therapy software that focuses on the well-being of people suffering from mild to medium dementia. They also aim at empowering patients with mental health conditions such as sleep disorder and depression through various technological and counseling innovations.

Skilled counselors are needed to address anxiety, depression and suicide, and a myriad of mental health disorders.

“The addition of Counseling and Human Development to the programs Walsh already offers online allows the university to contribute to the formation and professional preparation of clinical mental health and school counselors both regionally and well beyond,” said Henrique Alvim, Ph.D., Walsh University School of Behavioral and Health Sciences, Counseling and Human Development. ”By offering our CHD graduate program online, we can reach even more students through a values-based education, inspiring them to become leaders in service to others through the helping professions.”

The online Master of Arts in Counseling and Human Development—Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) degree prepares students with core competencies in the areas of diagnostic assessment and treatment to facilitate individual, group, and crisis counseling. Through a flexible, online learning format, students learn to confidently diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders, help clients improve coping and functioning skills, and promote the wellness and full development of individuals, groups, and families.

The online Master of Arts in Counseling and Human Development—School Counseling degree is for professionals who desire to make a difference in the lives of children, adolescents, and teens. Perfect for teachers who want to enhance their connections with students, or professionals who enjoy working with children of all ages, the program teaches its future school counselors to facilitate individual, group, and crisis counseling, provide prevention and intervention methods, and match families with the community resources they need.
