“SMARTfit is the only technology that can scale cognitive demand while concurrently executing a wide variety of physical movements and skills. Progressive increments in cognitive demand while concurrently scaling physical demands ensures leveling and prevents overwhelm or boredom. This allows the concept of demand and supply to produce optimum results for neuroplasticity. This applies to new learning, recovery and preventions.”

Dr Mike Studer

DPT, world renowned expert in dual tasking.

“SMARTfit can improve executive functioning better than physical exercise alone or cognitive alone through dual tasking. The research supports that, and, if we can improve executive functioning that generalizes to things that have never been trained including activities of daily living that can maximize independence and quality of life. This includes the ability to create a new memory, ability to pay attention, ability to inhibit behavior, problem solving and reasoning.”

Dr Rob Winningham

Phd. Neuroscience, Published Author, Western Oregon University.

“At the Pacific Institute of Neuro Technology, we have found that SMARTfit can provide a turnkey solution to provide a variety of training such as strength, balance, agility, mobility, and neuromotor all in one through a single technology. At its core, SMARTfit’s multimodal training incorporates scalable cognitive load through its turnkey programming for individuals at different stages of function offering both physical and cognitive engagement in different types of activities and we are seeing people have fun. This is not about responding to lights in a reaction time game. It is doing it with a variety of different limbs and variations of cognitive load that can target a plethora of cognitive functions bringing forward the concept of combined integrated cognitive-physical training.”

"SMARTfit takes the focus of the player off the mechanics and moves it to the external, forcing the brain to solve two problems at the same time. This solves the big missing part in rehab because we want carryover onto the field. SMARTfit is a great tool to test if this is happening before they return to play"

“Everything in Parkinson’s research points to the need for combining cognitive challenges with physical activities –
I cannot think of a better way to do that than with SMARTfit.”

Dr. Beth Fisher

PhD, PT, FAPTA, Professor of Clinical Physical Therapy, USC

“SMARTfit is an incredibly engineered machine that can basically mimic any kind of neurocognitive test. It also brings in the capacity to do whole body movements in exercise in conjunction with it. You can look at dual task performance how much this alters cognitive ability while moving so it has real potential an assessment tool for alterations for neurocognitive function. It enormous potential as a treatment or rehabilitation device in which you can combine exercise, attention, cognitive testing and have fun while doing it which will work so much better than other alternatives. ”

MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

“Rehabilitating the body during movement is one thing, but with SMARTfit we can integrate cognitive, motor, and functional movements to stimulate neuroplasticity. SMARTfit has created interactive games that bring together cognitive dual-tasking with functional balance and movement.”

“SMARTfit is a smart choice! I really enjoy this tool and use it every day with almost all of my patients. My patients love it and some refuse to leave without working out on it. It is a great tool as it advances otherwise basic care plans and makes it more engaging and motivating for patients. I use it for patients from all age groups. My Youngest patient is 7 and my oldest is 70. It is so versatile and maximizes my ability to treat in the short time. I use my I-Pad to choose programming and I can change things up as I go. I keep it fun, light, and exciting and it gives the patient insight on how they are doing from one day to the next. The dual task cost tests and retests are a great way to track objectively how a patent is progressing and how they improve over time. They are a great time saver to print out data that can support the benefits of the treatment and assist in effective and clear documentation.”

“Using the various activities, our kids are able to work on a variety of skills. Their reaction times and accuracy to hit the targets greatly improve over consecutive trials, demonstrating motor learning and quickened motor responses. We are able to work on static and dynamic postural responses, balance, and proximal stability crucial for participation in playground games and Physical Education classes. Furthermore, the numbers and letters games allow our therapists to address sequencing, letter and number identification, visual discrimination, and visual tracking/scanning abilities, essential for school readiness.”

“Lifestyle recommendations, purposeful engagement, and graded challenges are critical to the successful implementation of personalized brain health programming. So thrilled to have SMARTfit technology AND the brains of Dr. Rob Winningham as innovative partners.”
