Core offering

Cogmed Working Memory Training is an approved medical device and personalized digital training program designed to improve attention and working memory through adaptive, neuroscience-based exercises delivered over approximately 20 hours across five weeks under the supervision of a licensed professional coach. The program is provided exclusively through a global network of certified coaches (psychologists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, special educators) and to institutions (schools, clinics, rehabilitation centers) that deliver the training to individuals and families as end users.

Product overview

Cogmed is a single, unified digital medical device — Cogmed Working Memory Training — provided by Neural Assembly Int AB. The product is delivered as a web-based platform accessed by three distinct user segments (families/individuals, clinical practices, and schools) through separate onboarding paths. All segments share the same adaptive training exercises and are supported by a licensed professional coach. The platform includes two administrative interfaces: the Cogmed Coaching Center for clinicians and teachers to monitor trainee progress, and the Cogmed Learning Center for coach onboarding and training. A Find a Cogmed Coach locator tool connects prospective users with qualified coaches globally.

Direct peers

• Posit Science (BrainHQ): Posit Science offers BrainHQ, an evidence-based cognitive training platform with peer-reviewed clinical research and professional/clinician delivery — directly comparable to Cogmed's positioning as a clinically validated working memory and attention training product.
• Scientific Learning (FastForWord): FastForWord is a neuroscience-based reading and cognitive intervention sold into schools and clinics with peer-reviewed efficacy claims — a near-direct comparable to Cogmed's school and special-education licensing channel targeting working memory deficits underpinning learning difficulties.
• Akili Interactive (EndeavorRx): Akili built FDA-cleared prescription digital therapeutics for ADHD and cognitive conditions — directly comparable to Cogmed's approved medical device classification and clinical positioning for attention and working memory, though Akili pursued a direct-to-consumer / prescription route rather than coach licensing.
• Constant Therapy: Constant Therapy delivers digital speech, language, and cognitive therapy exercises used by clinicians for stroke and TBI recovery — overlapping with Cogmed's rehabilitation-center use cases for stroke and traumatic brain injury populations.
• CogniFit: CogniFit provides a digital cognitive training and assessment platform sold to consumers, clinicians, and researchers — overlapping strongly with Cogmed's adaptive working memory training and licensed professional distribution model.

Others

• Mindler: Mindler is a Swedish digital mental health platform that partnered with Cogmed to launch a digital ADHD treatment combining Mindler's platform with Cogmed's working memory training — included as an ecosystem partner given the documented strategic co-development relationship rather than direct product overlap.

Broad incumbents

• Cambridge Cognition: Cambridge Cognition supplies CANTAB-based digital cognitive assessment and training tools primarily to clinical trials and healthcare providers — a broader incumbent with adjacent cognitive assessment and intervention capabilities serving overlapping clinical/research buyers.
• Lumosity: Lumosity is the largest consumer brain-training app — a broad incumbent in the brain-training category. While positioned as a casual consumer product, it competes for the same end-user attention and working memory demand that Cogmed addresses through a more clinical channel.

Emerging players

• Peak (Brain Training): Peak offers a consumer-focused brain training app with personalized daily brain workouts — an emerging player in the direct-to-consumer cognitive training market that competes for the same individuals-and-families demand Cogmed addresses via licensed coaches.
• Creyos (formerly Cambridge Brain Sciences): Creyos offers online cognitive assessments and brain training batteries marketed to clinicians, researchers, and consumers — an emerging player in digital cognitive testing and training with partial overlap to Cogmed's clinician and consumer segments.
