HappyNeuron Pro and Telehealth: Supporting Cognitive Care from Anywhere

In recent years, post-COVID, telehealth has reshaped the way society thinks about access to care. Whether you call it “telemedicine”, “teletherapy”, or “remote rehabilitation,” digital healthcare is here to stay. This mode of service delivery has become a valuable and often necessary part of clinical practice. From access to rural areas to squeezing into tight schedules, healthcare is quite literally “at our fingertips.” For cognitive rehabilitation and mental health professionals, the ability to deliver services remotely has opened up new opportunities for flexibility, care consistency, and continuity of care. In this article, we’ll explore how HappyNeuron Pro can help you provide seamless sessions and accessible cognitive care.

Going Online: Cognitive Rehabilitation and Cognitive Remediation

Across disciplines—from therapists, physicians, educators, and wellness professionals —professionals are continuing to integrate remote services into their work. Some of the key benefits include:

• Increased Access: Clients in rural or underserved areas can connect with providers more easily and readily.
  
• Reduced No-Shows: The convenience of logging in from home often leads to improved attendance and engagement.
  
• Continuity of Care: Providers may maintain treatment plans even when clients relocate, travel, face transportation challenges, or face unforeseen circumstances.
  
• Client Comfort: Being in a familiar environment can reduce client anxiety and increase their willingness to participate in sessions.
• Flexible Scheduling: Both clients and providers benefit from a wider range of scheduling options.

While telehealth offers numerous advantages, it also requires tools that are adaptable, clinically sound, and user-friendly—for both professionals and their clients.

How HappyNeuron Pro Supports Telehealth Services

HappyNeuron Pro is an ideal solution for clinicians providing cognitive therapy remotely. Here’s how the platform helps bridge the gap between in-person and telehealth care:

• Clinical Oversight: With built-in data tracking and reporting tools, providers can monitor performance, adjust programs as needed, and document outcomes. This makes monitoring areas of deficit and goal tracking easier, assisting with daily notes, progress notes, and updated plans of care as needed.
• Personalized Home Programs: Clinicians can assign tailored online exercises that match each client’s cognitive goals and track via progress reports over their plan of care. Address client’s “Just right challenge” individually, by grading and adapting home exercise programs as needed. 
• Remote Client Access: Clients can log in and complete cognitive exercises from the comfort of their home. All they need is a device with internet access—no special software or downloads required. Computer and tablet ready!
• Engagement Through Variety: With a diverse library (45 and counting) of evidence-based exercises targeting attention, memory, executive function, visual perceptual skills, processing skills, and language, HappyNeuron Pro keeps clients engaged and motivated, even between sessions.

Telehealth Tips and Tricks

“I don’t want to assign home workouts at this time, can I still use HappyNeuron Pro?”

Yes! Depending on the online platform used (Zoom, Googlemeet, Doxy, etc), you and your client can share screens. This way, in real time you can watch your client complete HappyNeuron Pro exercises and monitor more closely within sessions.

“My client isn’t confident in using an online platform independently.”

Learning to use a new activity can be challenging, and building confidence is essential. One option is to use the platform with the client first, either in person or online. Online, you can share your screen with a client to complete exercises and even control the mouse for them if needed. As they get more familiar, you may want to assign a home exercise for practice alongside a caregiver if needed. Be mindful of their needs and comfort level.

“I don’t want my client to be completing digital exercises the whole session, we have a lot to work on.”

You don’t have to! Feel free to use exercises from HappyNeuron Pro as they make sense for you– such as a warm-up before another activity. You can complete an exercise mid-session as an “intermission” between tasks, or even as a “cool down”. Completing online exercises doesn’t have to take over your whole session; they can be just another tool to have in your back pocket!  

“I’m not sure if this is going to work for me.”

You’re right – you won’t know until you try! A free trial can help you determine if HappyNeuron Pro is a good fit for you. Feel free to sign up for a training session with a HappyNeuron Pro Product Specialist to fine-tune details and address specific questions you may have. Also, you may review our tutorial videos. Once you feel ready to dive in, we suggest meeting with a coworker or friend for a test run of a telehealth session!

Here are a few profession-specific examples; however, at HappyNeuron Pro we encourage everyone to utilize our platform as they see fit– every practice and person is different!
