MERGING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

You’ll have access to our medically-validated assessment that estimates your risk of dementia compared to people who are similar to you. Our assessment is based on a bespoke machine learning algorithm trained on data from over 300,000 individuals tracked over 15 years from the UK Biobank database.

The dementia risk assessment included in the app is CE-marked in compliance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC in the EU and UK. The risk assessment is aimed for people aged 50 to 69.

WHO CAN USE THE APP?

Designed for people who are struggling with memory and want to stay sharper into their golden years.

### 1/5 — Disgusting

*2026-05-09, version 3.33.0*

Had this app for ages free of charge. Why suddenly want me to pay £9.99 a month to use it. Deleted it and won’t be using it again

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-07*

The new version is a paid one now, so you can't access it for free anymore. I was one of the first to use that app, and I'm really disappointed and frustrated. Why can't we have both a paid version and a free version at the same time?

### 3/5 — Changed to paying for games

*2026-02-13, version 3.32.1*

Really enjoyed my old app and thought the brain games were excellent plus beneficial. Suddenly I could no longer access them without a subscription. Too expensive for me. I tried deleting the app then getting it again but still no free games. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Was brilliant until now

*2026-02-12, version 3.32.1*
