Dividat can expand cognitive motor training solution

Dividat, a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) based in Schindellegi in the canton of Schwyz, is working together with ETH and the OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences to optimize Dividat Senso. With a grant of 553,000 Swiss francs from the Swiss Innovation Promotion Agency Innosuisse, the hardware of this cognitive motor training device will be augmented with a solution to make the platform mobile.

Dividat Senso connects the body and mind through simultaneous physical and cognitive exercises. It was developed at ETH and is an evidence-based cognitive health solution. The device is used for orthopedic and neurological prevention and therapy. The new mobile platform will “significantly raise the neuromuscular standard of training and offer appropriate stimulation to people through increased balance resources,” explained ETH researcher Dr Eleftheria Giannouli in a press release from Dividat.

Dividat Senso will therefore also become “an amazing tool” for proprioceptive training, a method for improving depth perception with balance and concentration exercises. The needs of different patient groups can be addressed even more specifically as a result.
