This Smartphone App Helps Seniors in Assisted Living Fight Cognitive Decline

Let’s face it, we’re all worried about memory loss as we age. But what if the same device you use for calling grandkids could actually strengthen your mind? A new study revealed that a smartphone app improved thinking abilities in older adults living in assisted living facilities. Research published in Public Health in Practice shows the promising potential of this app’s capabilities for fighting cognitive decline. Instead of just including memory games like many brain apps, this one took a kitchen-sink approach, mixing brain training with exercise routines, food tracking, and other lifestyle stuff all in one app.
