Cognitive Assessment & Training in Healthcare Market Could Reach $45 Billion by 2026

Palm Beach, FL – December 23, 2020 – The cognitive assessment and training in healthcare market is positioned to have significant growth through the next several years. Cognitive assessment evaluates important areas of brain function. These areas include memory, concentration, processing speed, language, and reasoning capabilities. Cognitive assessments are critical to complete wellness because they have set a personalized benchmark of brain health for future comparison. A baseline cognitive assessment provides a reference point to measure against in case of problems or concerns (major illness or brain injury). Cognitive training or brain training is a tool, which can be utilized by educators and healthcare professionals to supplement and help enhance the therapeutic interactions with clients. A recent report said that the global cognitive assessment and training in healthcare market is forecast to reach USD 16.45 Billion by 2026… which was surpassed by another report from ReportsAndData which said The cognitive assessment and training in healthcare market is forecasted to grow at a rate of 32.6% during the forecast period and reach USD 45 Billion in 2026.    Active healthcare tech companies in the markets this week include Cognetivity Neurosciences Ltd. (OTCQB: CGNSF) (CSE: CGN) (CGN.CNQ), COMPASS Pathways plc (NASDAQ: CMPS), WELL Health Technologies Corp. (OTCPK: WLYYF) (TSX: WELL), Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ: EXAS).

 

The ReportsAndData.com report said: “Strong evidence proves the fact that mental activities help in minimizing the risk of age-related cognitive issues like dementia. The market is forecasted to witness a significant growth during the forecast period. One of the mentionable facts supporting the market growth is the continuous rise in geriatric population and associated elevated occurrence rate of memory loss and other cognitive issues like Alzheimer’s disease. The mentioned cognitive issues are common with growing age. However, findings from different studies have established the fact that behavioral interventions helps in enhancing and maintaining cognitive performance in the latter part of one’s life. At present, there are no medications for conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, which has resulted in elevated dependence on behavioral interventions on the part of geriatric clinician.”
