Neurocognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injuries, have a significant global impact, causing significant challenges for healthcare systems and families. Traditional rehabilitation methods often do not effectively target the diverse and complex cognitive impairments associated with these illnesses. Technology facilitates personalized rehabilitation approaches, enhances patient engagement, and enables unbiased evaluations of progress. This book is particularly pertinent in an era of rapid technological advancement, as it presents exceptional opportunities to revolutionize neurorehabilitation techniques and improve patient outcomes.
