This app, Healthy Brain, is a joint project between the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in the US (representing academia) and the Fo Guang Shan International Buddhist Order (representing charity). This app provides an important function – mindfulness – as a result of combining both Eastern and Western cultures. Such an app with wisdom may delay the progress of aging by its three activities: (1) fingertip writing, (2) Tai-Chi and meditation, and (3) prayer reading. Integrating the studies done by the University of Texas Medical Branch and the wisdom words made by Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927-2023), we are very pleased to offer this app to the public. We hope this app allows you to share your practice outcomes with your family and friends so that the spring of life can continue forever. Finally, UTMB and Fo Guang Shan would like to thank the UTMB Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) staff and all those who provided user feedback on the prototype of this app. Contact us for any questions you may have: cehd@utmb.edu
