Digital therapeutics, a subset of digital health, are evidence-based therapeutic interventions driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage or treat a medical disorder or disease. Therapy following a stroke, requires treatment by various services (physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support). All these disciplines have been adapted to be accessible through a digital device.
Taking into account that the therapy process is unique for every individual, we can’t promise results in a set timeframe. Recovery time is contingent upon the time invested in the exercises, general level of health and psychological wellbeing. Therefore, we recommend that you ensure that the patient has a peaceful and healthy environment as well as motivation to complete the daily exercises.
All conversations with Vigo have been carefully developed by our specialist workers and psychologists. The main depression and anxiety treatment method is CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy), which is widely accepted and utilized across the world.

This program can aid faster and more effective recovery for you or your loved one.
