Mobile Applications for the Mind

Dementia can be a scary thing, on both ends. We can do something to delay it if not prevent it. There are a lot of mobile applications and even web applications that help train the mind and give it an exercise. One of the apps is from Lumosity which helps with memory, attention, and processing speed. You can also use CogniFit Brain Fitness which lets you take a quiz that determines the difficulty and tailors the games to your needs. Personal Zen enables you to follow animated characters and trains your mind to focus on the positive which will help in being resilient in life situations. There is also an app that helps to increase happiness called Happify. Eidetic uses a technique called spaced repetition to help you memorize anything from important phone numbers to interesting words or facts. It works differently from typical brain training apps by using items that have meaning and context, like your beau's phone number, bank account details, or a new quote worth reciting.
