■Over 130,000 Users!!
This app has achieved the highest market share among apps focused on maintaining brain and physical health to prevent dementia! (As of January 2024/In-house research)

■ App Benefits
The following two benefits have been observed in those who have used this app continuously for one month.

[1. Improved cognitive function test scores]
Scores on cognitive function tests (when renewing a driver's license) improved by an average of 120%. (Analysis of over 5,000 people's results)
[2. Neuronal plasticity]
Brain MRI measurements taken before and one month after starting the app confirmed an increase in gray matter in 96% of participants. (Analysis of 100 men and women in their 40s to 70s)

■ Overview
The Brain Good App is a brain-friendly app that supports optimal brain function by setting, managing, and evaluating activities based on neuroscience that are expected to activate and plasticate the brain—exercise, diet, and brain training—and encouraging appropriate activities. Brain training can also help you understand your brain, including your brain age and brain power map.
Additionally, the more you use this app, the more effective it becomes with the Brain Health Maintenance AI (artificial intelligence) providing optimal brain-healthy advice. (New features will be added as needed.)

■Effective Brain Training
Over the course of approximately three minutes, you'll cycle through "Calculation," "Puzzle," and "Spot the Difference" to activate and promote brain plasticity.

・Calculation: You'll be presented with 10 simple calculation problems. Please answer as quickly as possible. This will increase blood flow to your brain.
・Puzzle: Complete the character slide puzzle within the time limit. This will improve your judgment and reasoning skills.

・Spot the Difference: Find the difference within the time limit. Featuring a variety of fun, classic designs, including Astro Boy and Blackjack. This will improve your long-term and short-term memory, as well as your higher brain functions.

・New games have been added, including N-back training, block counting, and flash mental arithmetic.

The difficulty level of the brain training exercises is automatically adjusted. It's challenging for those who can do it and easy for those who can't, so everyone can enjoy it without stress.

More characters, spot the difference illustrations, and brain training exercises will be added in the future. Stay tuned!

■Walking Pace (Walking Speed) is Important
The exercise content in this app is based on scientific evidence and is classified as "walking" ([Steps] and [Walking Pace]). You can measure your steps by turning on the "Physical Activity" setting in your smartphone's app settings (some models may not support this setting). You can also measure your walking pace by setting "Location" to "Always On."

Walking pace is particularly closely related to brain function, and we use this information to provide advice and warnings, so we recommend keeping "Location" set to "Always On" whenever possible.

■Can also be used for the following prevention and sharing (Easy Health Management Function)
・Body Temperature: An important indicator of your body's rhythm and discomfort. Please enter your temperature daily to help manage your health. (You can share your body temperature with your family by linking with our separate family site.)
・Weight (BMI): While it's often said that obesity is the root of all diseases, being "too thin" is also not good. BMI is an indicator of a healthy weight range. Weigh yourself as often as possible and aim for a BMI of 22!
・Blood Pressure: High blood pressure puts strain on blood vessels, causing arteriosclerosis and potentially life-threatening conditions like stroke and myocardial infarction. If you have high blood pressure or are taking blood pressure medication, please use the medication feature of this app to control your blood pressure.

・Blood Sugar: While high blood sugar levels may not cause symptoms, they often lead to life-threatening complications and are said to increase the risk of dementia by 2.5 times. If you are taking blood sugar medication, please use the medication feature of this app to control your blood sugar.
