N2  -  Summary. This paper describes an application for computerised cognitive rehabilitation. The application started in 2007 as a system for helping neuropsychologists and speech therapists during face-to-face rehabilitation sessions at the hospital. The initial motivation for the system development was to automate the exercise generation using a stimuli repository, to save time and generate exercises that are always different from each other, and to facilitate session data collection. Over time, the system evolved in several directions, precisely (i) enhancing the interface to improve accessibility, (ii) calculating quantitative indexes for the patients’ performance assessment, (iii) personalising the exercises according to both patient performance and preferences, (iv) enhancing the system with wearable sensors to capture patients’ fatigue signs, and (v) bringing the system at patient home. In the meanwhile, several studies have been carried out to investigate the system usability, acceptance and efficacy in selected patient populations with mild and moderate cognitive deficits. Finally, the system has been experimented in combination with transcranial electrical stimulation to investigate possible synergies for improving the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation.
