<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Smartphones are ubiquitous, but it is still unknown what physiological functions can be monitored at clinical quality.

Our original developed application on Android operating system, named “neurogame” is based on an open source platform to enable assessment and therapeutic stimulation, focus and concentration with the ability to monitor the progress of the results obtained in a larger number of participants (normal subjects as well as patients with different disorders) over a period of time.Whilst nowadays the predominant focus is on the pharmacological treatments, there is a rapidly growing interest in research on alternative options that will offer help in many cases of disorder management in terms of mobile application games.In order to have some kind of “norms”, we evaluated a group of healthy population.
