Abstract

Introduction: Program overview of a novel cognitive training platform at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) for service members with subjective cognitive complaints: Analysis of patient participation, satisfaction with the program, and perceived areas of improvement. Materials and Method: Retrospective review of 1,030 participants from November 2008 through May 2017. Data were obtained within an approved protocol (WRNMMC-EDO-2017-0004/# 876230). Results: The program has shown growth in numbers of referrals, types of patient populations served, and patient visits. Patients report satisfaction with the program and endorse improvements in cognitive functions. Conclusions: This program model may benefit other military facilities looking to provide and assess novel therapeutic approaches.
