CogniFit on a tablet and phone: a word-game cognitive exercise and a resident's cognitive ranking and progress chart
Why it matters

Most activities fill the day. Few of them count.

Residents want to feel capable, and homes increasingly need to show that care is active, not passive. The thing that is hard to find is an activity that is personal, measurable, and one residents genuinely want to do.

Personal. Built around each resident's own abilities, not a generic worksheet everyone gets.

Measurable. Progress you can show by cognitive domain, in care notes and family updates.

Enjoyable. Game-like sessions residents look forward to, so engagement lasts past the first week.

Cognitive engagement is one of the modifiable factors the 2024 Lancet Commission links to dementia risk at the population level, one lever among many, not a guarantee for any individual. See the evidence guide.

What it's like

One program, three points of view

CogniFit runs on a tablet and plays like a friendly game. It is the same engine as CogniFit's consumer brain-training program, adapted for supervised, group-care use. Here is what it looks like for everyone it touches.

The resident

Sits down with a tablet and plays a few short, friendly games that adjust to them. No pass or fail, just a small win they can see, a few times a week.

Your team

Sets each resident up once, then mostly supervises. The program picks the right exercises and keeps the scores, so staff spend their time with residents, not on admin.

The family

Gets something concrete: a simple picture of how their relative is doing, and reassurance that the home is keeping them mentally active.

What to expect

What residences tend to see

No program can promise a result for any one resident. Across CogniFit's own data with older adults, the pattern is consistent: first whether they will use it, then what changes when they do.

89%
of older users found it easy to useAverage age 71.7, and 86% would recommend it. Whether residents take to it is the first hurdle, and this is what clears it.

And across those who keep at it, the average measured gains:

+68%Coordination, the largest single change
+47%Memory, after about 50 sessions
+20%Overall cognitive performance, adults 60 to 70

Source: CogniFit internal studies (2019–2024) and the Cognitive Stimulation for Elderly Care Homes material. Observational pre-post data without a randomized control group, plus usability feedback, not proof of efficacy. Gains were more pronounced in residents over 70, who start from a lower baseline.

Why care homes choose it

Good for residents, easy for your team

For residents

  • An activity they enjoy. Game-like sessions that feel like play, not therapy.
  • A sense of progress. Visible scores that show they are getting somewhere.
  • Dignity and routine. A personal activity that is theirs, on a regular schedule.

For your team

  • Simple to run. Set up once per resident, then mostly supervise.
  • Measurable progress. Scores by domain for care notes and family updates.
  • A service that stands out. A modern, evidence-informed offering families notice.
Getting started

Simple to bring into your home

Start with a pilot

Try it with a small group of residents and see how they take to it before rolling it out more widely.

Set up in a day

It runs on a tablet you already have. Each resident is assessed once, and the program builds their plan.

Support on hand

Your team has what it needs to run sessions and pull progress, with help available whenever you want it.

The science

Grounded in research on older adults

CogniFit's approach draws on peer-reviewed studies of cognitive training in older adults. The results are encouraging and, like the whole field, mixed in places.

Some trials found no advantage over an active control. The balanced evidence review keeps positive and null results together, and CogniFit is a wellness program, not a treatment for dementia.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it add to our staff's workload?

Setup happens once per resident, and the sessions run themselves. Staff mainly supervise, help residents who want assistance, and check progress when it suits them. It is built to fit an already stretched team, not to add to it.

Do residents need to be good with technology?

No. It runs on a tablet, plays like a simple game, and works for assisted or one-to-one use. In CogniFit's care survey of older users (average age 71.7), 89% found it easy or very easy to use. Source: CogniFit care survey.

Is it just generic brain games?

No. Each resident is assessed first, then given a personalized plan, and progress is measured by cognitive domain rather than just time spent playing.

Is it backed by evidence?

Yes. CogniFit's tasks are used in peer-reviewed studies of older adults. See the science above for the studies behind the product and their limits.

Can we show progress to families and inspectors?

Yes. Each resident's scores update by cognitive domain, so you can include them in care notes, family updates and quality reporting.

What do we need to run it?

A tablet and a few minutes per session. No special hardware and no installation beyond the app.
