Nesplora's virtual reality tests are used for neuropsychological assessment and are Level C: individually applied tests of intelligence, personality and other complex instruments. They require a degree in Psychology, Psychiatry or Psychopedagogy and sufficient experience to be able to apply them.

Therefore, they are to be used by professionals in psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, paediatrics, researchers and teachers in the health sector and professionals working in centres, clinics or hospitals.

Yes, the Nesplora tests work with the Meta Quest 2 (formerly Oculus Quest 2) and also Meta Quest 3, which can be purchased online or in physical stores. You can also consult the Meta Quest website where you can see the authorised retailers.

 Remember to buy the headphones as well, which: 

 - Must cover the pinna. 

-  Must sufficiently insulate against external noise. 

-  Must be easily adjustable to suit different users. 

- Should have leather-type pads or similar in order to facilitate cleaning and proper maintenance. 

The tests are carried out in a virtual reality environment.

Therefore, the person to be assessed will use the virtual reality headset and the professional will use the control software, where the performance of the test can be seen.

 The PC computer must meet the following requirements: 

- Windows 10 or higher, or Mac OS X or higher

- RAM memory: 4Gb 

- Intel HD Graphics or higher.

 SUITE 

 This is the only test that evaluates different components of memory to provide support in the diagnosis of dementia and disorders with alterations in memory function. 

AULA assesses attentional processes, impulsivity and motor activity to support, among others, the diagnosis of pathologies such as ADHD.​

The AULA report is a graphical report that facilitates general reading of cognitive performance to expedite diagnostic support and referral

The AULA School report is a narrative report that explains the cognitive profile together with some psycho-pedagogical guidelines to facilitate and adapt learning to each person’s specific needs. 

A use is equivalent to a results report generated from a neuropsychological assessment with any of our products using a virtual reality headset. 

 One results report is equivalent to one use, the same report of one evaluation can be generated as many times as needed. 

Nesplora has plans for all types of users and needs. 

 There is an initial Plan (BITS), without recurrent payment, with an initial registration fee and pay-per-use on demand. The rest of the Plans (Essential or Professional) are more economical subscriptions depending on the needs of each centre. There is no entry fee and there is a recurrent payment, which can be monthly, quarterly or yearly, depending on the chosen modality. 

 Nesplora has no permanence, so it is possible to cancel or change Plans/subscriptions whenever the user wishes, always complying with the terms and conditions established. 

 All the information about the plans can be found here. 

We have very detailed interpretation manuals for each of the products, both in Spanish and English; we also have online training videos for each of the products. This way, you will always know how to interpret the test. 

Here you can find a list of the tests that are included in each Nesplora System plan. 

Nesplora's guarantees must be seen from several points of view: hardware, software, data analysis and the tests themselves. 

All Nesplora tests are CE marked and certified as medical devices by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices, comply with European directives regarding ethics and data protection and our software meets European standards. These certifications allow them to be used in any clinical, research or forensic procedure with all the guarantees for the professional. All our tests meet previous criteria of usability of software and hardware with representative samples (field trials) that avoid interpretation errors associated with the use or understanding of the test. 

Regarding virtual reality devices, we have always had ophthalmological certifications that support their safety during the evaluation period.  They do not cause dizziness, nor can they affect vision, in fact, they can detect anomalies in vision early on. Virtual reality also ensures greater involvement of the subject, a greater sense of presence in the environment and greater collaboration on their part.

The tests themselves meet all the standards associated with international psychometric assessment: standardisation, theoretical foundation, interpretation norms, and age norms or norms on which we standardise our tests with samples that are large enough to represent the majority of the population studied. The normative studies have been published in Q1 journals with specialists in psychometrics and data analysis in addition to the authors. The scales are accompanied by studies on reliability, convergence with other tests and scales, sensitivity, and criterion and construct validity. Studies with different pathologies, studies in different countries and cultures, pre-post treatment studies, large sample studies, studies with cognitive diversity and test-retest studies are added. 

As a differential value we can add the ecological validity that makes our tests unique in the world, reducing cultural bias and evaluator bias to a minimum. 

In the manuals of the tools, the theories underlying the cognitive constructs assessed are explained. These are based on a theoretical foundation in which we only consider paradigms with scientific evidence and widely agreed upon.

 Nesplora was highly recognised for its scientific and innovative value by the European Commission. You can access all the information about the great disruptive innovation project that gave Nesplora's products the ethical and scientific value that endorses us here.

 On the research page you can see all this information, and you will receive the manuals and main product keys when you purchase the licence. 

We are continuously working to provide you with documentation and training for the interpretation of our tests in your clinical or research practice.
