Dementia Australia launches fun brain-game app to detect changes in cognitive health

A free mobile brain-game app that helps people privately monitor suspected changes in their cognition over time has been launched by Dementia Australia.

BrainTrack was developed with the Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute (AI), Deakin University and funded by the Australian Government. It has been awarded a research grant by the Medical Research Future Fund - Dementia, Ageing and Aged Care initiative which will evaluate its use and whether it's associated with improvements in knowledge and help-seeking in relation to brain health.

BrainTrack is available for download on your mobile phone or tablet device for free now through the Apple App store or Google Play.
