Brainy App

Description:

The Brainy App aims to raise awareness of the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia by providing information and activities to improve brain health. It is based on information relating to lifestyle and health behaviours known which, undertaken in midlife, can be preventative for risk of dementia in later life. The application contains a BrainyApp survey to identify how healthy your brain is, and then includes activities to increase your brain health score. It is available for iPhone/iPad and Android users.
