About this app

Advance the science of brain health.
The BrainHealth® App, developed by the Center for BrainHealth® at The University of Texas at Dallas, is a powerful tool making cutting-edge brain health research more easily accessible. Our nonprofit research institute works to redefine understanding and potential enhancement of brain health and performance.
Why we monitor your health data:
To better understand how physical fitness and lifestyle habits contribute to brain health, our app analyzes key health metrics that research shows are important factors for cognitive function:
• Steps & Activity - Physical activity levels impact brain health and cognitive performance
• Heart Rate - Cardiovascular health is closely linked to brain function
• Sleep Patterns - Quality sleep is essential for cognitive performance and brain health
• Blood Pressure - Cardiovascular health indicators affect brain health outcomes
• VO₂ Max - Cardiorespiratory fitness correlates with cognitive function
• Body Composition (Height/Weight) - Overall health metrics that influence brain health
The BrainHealth® App brings opportunities to the palm of citizen scientists' hands so they can support our goal of better understanding how to measure, track, and even improve brain health throughout life. Your health data helps us generate insights to advance brain health research and provide feedback that supports healthier living.

Ratings and reviews

I'm participating in this. It is very basic so far, but then I completed a degree in psych, so I've had the privilege of learning stuff thru that. I expect the benefit to me will happen after I've participated over a few years. I hope the benefit to science will happen if lots of people like me participate. After an hour-or-so at startup, it does require about 10 minutes a day...plus occasional longer sessions a few times a year. No ads (yay!) The app dies whenever I pin or unpin habits.

Amazing insite to keeping your brain out of the Dementia gutter! Just wish I could save some of the videos & Ted talks you can watch for extra learning. I can never locate them again to refer back to. Is there a way to save some of the transcription for my own use to look back on again? My short term memory is real bad. As in what were the three other apps that were recommended for calming down besides the "Calm" app? Healify?

cant get past the research screener page. it won't scroll to the bottom of the page to do anything. it's doing my brain in, or is that the point, in some twisted way!
