Effects of Digital Neurohabilitation on Attention and Memory in Patients with a Diagnosis of Pediatric Obesity: Case Series

<b>Objective:</b> Obesity represents a health risk and several studies have linked this clinical entity to cognitive deficits. Among the neuropsychological rehabilitation tools, Peak, a digital application, has shown positive results as a therapeutic method. The aim of this work was to measure, for the first time, cognitive deficits and the effects of Peak digital cognitive neurohabilitation therapy in patients diagnosed with obesity. <b>Methods:</b> Peak treatment was offered to the parents who agreed and lasted 6 months, including the neurocognitive evaluation. The patients used Peak five times a day for 20 min. The Neuropsychological Attention and Memory Battery (NEUROPSI) was applied before and after the intervention. <b>Results:</b> The results revealed posttest changes in attention and executive function, memory, and total attention and memory. Significant clinical changes were observed, and the diagnostic range increased from severe to moderate. <b>Conclusions:</b> We concluded that, through an intervention with the Peak app, it is possible to enable attention and memory, which represent the main cognitive deficits in obese pediatric patients.
