The world's first mobile application aimed at reducing people's dementia risk is now available for Android phone users. <\/p>\n
BrainyApp, which was developed by Alzheimer's Australia and Bupa Health Foundation, has been downloaded more than 200,000 times worldwide since it was made available for iPhone and iPad in November last year. <\/p>\n
Alzheimer's Australia national president Ita Buttrose said Android phone users had inundated the organisation with requests to access the mobile app since its launch. <\/p>\n
'We have had enquiries from people and other Alzheimer's associations from around the world, including The Netherlands, South Africa, Mexico and Iceland, wanting to know when the Android version will be available,' she said in a statement on Monday. <\/p>\n
'It is extremely encouraging to see that so many people want to make active lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of developing dementia.' <\/p>\n
The free mobile app tests your brain-heart health, tells you areas that you should focus on, suggests activities you might do and lets you track how these activities have affected your health. <\/p>\n
You can also access information about dementia and play challenging brain training games'. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
