Moving computerized cognitive training toward a digital brain therapeutic. This scheme envisions a remote system that integrates digital diagnostics and therapeutics, and is cleared by regulators on the basis of well-controlled efficacy trials or through a pre-certification program. Such a digital therapeutic would allow for remote compliance monitoring and dose adjustment by clinicians. It would also allow for iterative software refinement by developer and real world evidence collection by researchers. Clinician, researcher, and therapist are depicted as distinct individuals for ease of showing the capabilities. The software would permit these roles to overlap, i.e., the clinician may also serve as a therapist and researcher.
