1. What is Video Coach?
When you select the Video Coach training sessions from CogniFit, you will hear from our team of highly qualified wellness coaches who will help you understand not only the skills you will be training, but how those skills fit in to your daily life.
In addition to this, the coaches explain each of the training tasks to be performed during the Video Coach training session, ensuring users feel confident and understand exactly what they need to do.
Each Video Coach Session focuses on a specific cognitive ability and includes three fun and stimulating brain games that help train that specific ability.
When choosing a session, the user will have the option to select their preferred Video Coach trainer by tapping on their photo on the bottom left.
Once a trainer has been selected, they will continue to be selected by default until the user selects a different trainer.
