i-Function

i-Function helps people gain confidence and live more productive lives by providing tools that: Facilitate early and accurate diagnosis of cognitive problems; and access and train everyday functional skills. It does this by applying a research-driven and technology-based approach to everything they do. The growing number of healthy aging adults, individuals with mental illness, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or a cognitive impairment such as mild cognitive impairment, often lack the functional skills needed to perform everyday tasks in a broad range of areas.

The FUNSAT tool from i-Function bridges the “real world functioning skills” gap between daily life, functional skills, and technology. It can help people regain their prior functional skills or assist them with the acquisition of new functional skills needed to manage emerging and existing technologies (banking online, using a smartphone, navigating the complex healthcare universe, etc.). This takes place through a unique & evidence-based, cloud-based, functional skills assessment and training software platform that can be delivered on tablets (Android and iOS) as well as on PCs and Macs. The solution allows for restored independence, improved ability to learn new skills, and higher quality of life for users. It also provides clinicians, caregivers, researchers, and companies with several benefits: The ability to train more people per hour with less specialized staff; reach new/underserved populations (telemedicine); complement standardized assessments; gain access to normative data & i-Function/ partner platforms; access customized training modules for existing customer segments underutilizing company products or access new potential customers not yet familiar with company products.
