Telemedicine in Mental Health: Systematic Review of Online Psychological Therapy

2024 , Ramos Galarza, Carlos , Patricia García-Cruz , Brenda Guerrero , Mónica Bolaños-Pasquel

This process emerged strongly in the coronavirus pandemic that humanity recently experienced and has now established itself as a valid tool for diagnostic and treatment processes in psychology. In this article we present a systematic review of research that has developed technology in favor of psychological care through telemedicine. We found 710 studies and after processing them with inclusion and exclusion criteria we ended up with a sample of 12 papers that were analyzed. In the results it was found that North America (33%) is the context where most research on telemedicine in psychology is carried out. Most of the remote technology is used in treatment processes (91.67%). Psychological treatments for psychopathological disorders (33.33%) are the main objects of intervention in telemedicine for psychology. As for the psychological approach applied in research, cognitive behavioral therapy (41.67%) is the most used. In the discussion we talked about the benefits and limitations of telemedicine and the challenges of its implementation in psychological care processes

Serious Games Created for Cognitive Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review

2024 , Ramos Galarza, Carlos , Patricia García-Cruz , Bolaños-Pasquel, Mónica

Cognitive rehabilitation is a process by which people who have suffered some type of brain impairment recover their mental abilities. This type of treatment has classically been carried out with concrete materials of pencil and paper, however, currently the use of technology has provided a significant contribution to improve the motivation and interest of patients involved in this process. In this research, a systematic review of the main studies that have generated some type of technology for the cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation process was carried out. In the collection of studies, 24 published articles were found that allowed understanding aspects such as sample size, age, gender, countries, continents, type of interventions and the main technological developments that have been developed in recent years in favor of cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation. The results are discussed in relation to the importance of conducting this type of studies in favor of the treatment processes and the need to improve the quality of the treatment process

Impact of Technological Development on Human Cognitive Functioning

2024 , Ramos Galarza, Carlos , Patricia García-Cruz , Cruz Cárdenas, Jorge , Bolaños-Pasquel, Mónica

Human beings have several cognitive functions (memory, attention, language, perception, executive functions and others) that allow them to perform all their daily activities. In the context of the stimulation of human cognitive functions, classic activities based on tangible resources such as pencil and paper have been developed. In this context, there is an opportunity for technological development to make proposals to create games that stimulate human mental abilities. In this context, this article reports a quantitative systematic review of research about games to cognitive stimulation. Among the main results obtained, games that stimulate skills such as perception, attention, memory, executive functions, psychomotor skills and information processing speed were identified. The following are some of the results processed in this systematic review.

Bibliometric Analysis of the Use of Technology in Neuropsychology

2024 , Ramos Galarza, Carlos , Patricia García-Cruz , Valentina Ramos , Cruz Cárdenas, Jorge , Mónica Bolaños-Pasquel

Neuropsychology is a science that studies the relationship between behavior, emotion and cognition and brain functioning. This science has been characterized by the use of traditional pencil and paper tools for its diagnosis and intervention processes; however, in recent years there has been a growing interest in including technological developments for the use of the clinician. In this article, we present a bibliometric review of 50,481 articles published in the research line of neuropsychology and technology. The analyses performed include the number of articles published per year, countries of greatest publication, journals with the greatest number of articles in this line of research, international research centers interested in the research topic, type of publication, the different types of disciplines and an analysis of the graphical construction of the verbal networks according to the keywords of the articles analyzed. The discussion analyzes the impact of technology on the development of neuropsychology and the future implications that arise in this line of research.

Technological Innovations Applied to Neuromarketing: Systematic Review

2024 , Ramos Galarza, Carlos , Patricia García-Cruz , Cruz Cárdenas, Jorge

Neuromarketing allows us to understand the relationship between brain function and consumer buying behavior. Various technological innovations have been developed to influence the individual’s brain functioning and increase the likelihood of purchase. In this context, this article presents a systematic review of research that has developed technological innovations to be used in neuromarketing. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 studies were identified that allowed us to analyze the most relevant technological developments in the area. The main devices found are encompassed in technology for visual tracking, neuroimaging, and new neuromarketing developments. We conclude this research by highlighting the benefit of these devices in neuromarketing and the need for future studies to analyze their effectiveness
