Google Celebrates BrainTrack as the Best App for Good in 2023!
Attention all busy parents! Amid the hustle and bustle of family life, it’s essential to keep a close eye on the well-being of those you love, especially when it comes to their brain health. Well, guess what? Google has just made this task a breeze by naming BrainTrack the Best App for Good for the year 2023!
BrainTrack is a phenomenal tool developed in collaboration between Dementia Australia and the insightful minds at Deakin University’s Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute (A²I²). It’s designed to provide you with a convenient and private way to monitor brain health over time, and the response has been overwhelming. Since its release in October 2022, the app has been embraced by over 60,000 users, showing the growing concern and interest in cognitive well-being.
Dementia Australia’s CEO, Maree McCabe AM, expressed joy as BrainTrack stood out in the Australian market, securing a spot in the spotlight at Google Play’s Best of 2023 Awards. “It’s fantastic that early diagnosis of dementia is getting the attention it deserves,” she noted, “and with the numbers expected to rise, early action is more important than ever.”
The app takes a fun approach with travel-themed games inspired by validated cognitive testing, meaning you can keep an eye on your brain’s health while engaging in delightful activities. Plus, it’s incredibly user-friendly as you can share your gameplay results directly with your GP. This helps in the early identification and further testing of any cognitive changes that may appear over time.
Google tipped its hat to BrainTrack, calling it captivating for its “unique focus on declining cognitive abilities” and praising the app for seamlessly blending learning and the joy of discovery through travel.
