Description

Need to learn a variety of healthy-lifestyle skills?  
  
The Staying Sharp app is based on a holistic, lifestyle-based approach to brain health and features expert advice on memory, focus and more.
 
Are you sometimes irritated by little memory slips like forgetting where you placed your keys or phone? In our Is My Memory Normal? challenge, you can learn how memory works. Plus, play a fun interactive digital exercise.
 
In addition, our Digital Declutter challenge teaches you ways to manage your digital world. Discover strategies for shifting technology away from being a distracting force in your life to something that helps you live life more fully.
 
And if you’re tired of forgetting details about new people you meet, our Faces & Names challenge can help you learn the secrets of those incredible people who never forget a name.

Here’s what the app lets you do:


Take science-based brain health challenges

Staying Sharp takes a holistic, lifestyle-based approach to brain health, using a rigorous scientific review process as well as overarching guidance from the Global Council on Brain Health, an independent collaborative of scientists, doctors, scholars and policy experts. In addition, a Staying Sharp advisory board of experts helps guide and advise on our content. Each challenge starts with a video outlining what research and experts say about strengthening memory and building healthy habits. You then follow a series of steps to learn brain-healthy habits, use interactive tools and exercises, and discover easy activities that you can incorporate into your life.

Take Staying Sharp brain health challenges on the go.

It doesn’t matter where you start or stop your challenge. Your progress will be saved — whether you are on a smartphone, computer or tablet.

Not quite accessible for the blind

This app could be really good. The information is accessible. But the games are not. Are use a screen reader, and the games are not accessible. The screen reader can’t read what’s on the game screen. I hope this makes sense. It’s The middle of the night right now, so my brains not all here. But if you could make it the games accessible as well for the blind. That would be awesome.

Best app there is!

I love this app! There is so much valuable information, from all aspects of health and well being. It is so user friendly, easy to read and follow. Great narrators with so many interesting topics to choose from. Mind sharpening skills, pleasant soothing voices to meditate, practice breath work, nutrition. Well laid out and so enjoyable to use!

Individuality

The lessons are great but lack the ability to voice out one’s own unique opinions. Resilience is good but could use a spot/window to give a person’s own opinion or learned circumstances.
