Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of cognitive intervention using the web platform Neuronup in a group of elderly subjects; the study is based on the dependent variables (memory, attention, and language) analyzed with the abbreviated Barcelona Test.
Subjects and Methods. Aquasi-experimental design was carried out with subjects assigned to two groups: a control group (20 subjects) and an experimental group (20 subjects). The abbreviated Barcelona Test was administered to assess patients before and after the intervention with this software to draw conclusions.

Objective. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of cognitive intervention using the web platform Neuronup in a group of elderly subjects; the study is based on the dependent variables (memory, attention, and language) analyzed with the abbreviated Barcelona Test.
Subjects and Methods. Aquasi-experimental design was carried out with subjects assigned to two groups: a control group (20 subjects) and an experimental group (20 subjects). The abbreviated Barcelona Test was administered to assess patients before and after the intervention with this software to draw conclusions.
Results. Analyses of variance (ANOVA), analyses of covariance (ANCOVA), and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) were perfomed in the memory, orientation, reading, and language domains. Statistically signifcant differences were recorded in all domains except language where scores remained the same.
Conclusion. It has been demonstrated that Neuronup is an effective program for improving cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and orientation in older adults, hence it would be beneficial to implement technology-based treatments conducted by specialized professionals.
