Abstract

Coma is a state of reduced consciousness that affects thousands of people each year. Despite advances in medicine, many patients remain in a coma for long periods of time, and many never fully recover consciousness.

This prototype is an initial version of the application, more simplified and will allow exploring and validating concepts, functionalities, and interfaces. The BrainGain application will be an innovative tool designed to help coma patients recover consciousness more quickly, through personalized stimuli and activities. The application allows the customization of the rehabilitation program for each patient, based on their needs. Patients can engage in cognitive stimulation exercises, physical activities, and therapies, all aimed at improving their quality of life. Initial results suggest that BrainGain may be a valuable tool in coma patient rehabilitation.
