IMH’s child ADHD service page highlights Cogo as a complementary home-based attention training programme for children aged 6 to 12. The programme uses Brain-Computer Interface technology and Neeuro’s EEG headband, SenzeBand 2, with a guided game format.
Parents should read this as an additional support option, not as a shortcut diagnosis or a replacement for clinical advice. The useful part is understanding what Cogo is designed to do before asking a clinician whether it fits a child’s needs.
What Cogo Is
IMH describes Cogo as home-based attention training. The programme was jointly developed by A*STAR’s Institute for Infocomm Research, IMH and Duke-NUS, and it aims to improve inattentiveness through a 24-session guided game paired with EEG feedback.
That structure matters because parents often struggle to separate ADHD tools from general brain-training marketing. Here, the key elements are the age band, attention-training purpose, guided game sessions and the connection to IMH’s child neurobehavioural services.
- Age range stated: children aged 6 to 12.
- Format: 24-session guided game programme.
- Technology: Brain-Computer Interface with Neeuro SenzeBand 2.
How Parents Should Approach It
Start with assessment, not gadgets. If a child is struggling with attention, school functioning, impulsivity or emotional regulation, a clinical review helps clarify whether ADHD is present and whether home training, behavioural strategies, school support or medication discussions are relevant.
Read IMH’s ADHD service page as the primary local reference. More parent-facing health explainers sit under our Health & Wellness section.
- Ask whether the child fits the stated age and clinical profile.
- Clarify time commitment for all 24 sessions.
- Track school feedback and home behaviour alongside any programme use.
