Health Care Providers - Visual Awareness Research Group, Inc.

Improve Your Patients’ Quality of Life

As a health care provider, you’re often asked to make decisions about your patients’ ability to drive following an accident, illness or diminished capacity due to age. With Useful Field of View (UFOV®), you now have an objective, evaluative, computer-administered test that accurately scores a driver’s visual attention—which is highly correlated with accident involvement.

More importantly, UFOV® is rehabilitative. Drivers with attentional deficiencies can experience improvements of 60-300% in their Useful Field of View, after only a short UFOV® training period.

In fact, UFOV® may be a sensitive indicator of early Alzheimer’s disease or other disorders resulting in cognitive impairment. By using UFOV® for testing and rehabilitation, you can expand your practice, offer a new service and gain the competitive edge you’ve been looking for—it’s less expensive, quicker and easier to administer than simulators or on-the-road evaluations. For your patients, it’s non-invasive, confidential and stimulating. Keep your patients in the driver’s seat with Useful Field of View based technology.

Research has demonstrated that UFOV rehabilitation can reduce average impairment from 41% to 17%. There is significant improvement in participants’ in-vehicle driving test–stopping distance (from a speed of 55mph) was reduced by 23 feet and dangerous maneuvers were cut in half.

Even after an 18-month follow-up assessment, participants retained a 90% benefit in their in-vehicle driving and stopping distance tests, as well as a 50% benefit in reduction of dangerous driving maneuvers. Most importantly, UFOV was able to reduce the number of participants who stopped driving because of impairment, and increased the days driven, per week, of drivers who used UFOV rehabilitation.
