■Over 130,000 users! !
It has gained the most shares among apps aimed at maintaining brain and body health to prevent dementia! (As of January 2024/based on our research)
■Effects of the app
The following two effects were observed for those who have been using this app continuously for one month.
[1. Improving cognitive function test scores]
The results showed that scores on the "cognitive function test (when renewing driver's license)" improved by an average of 120%. (Analyzing results from over 5,000 people)
[2. Plasticization of brain neurons]
Brain MRI measurements taken before and one month after using this app showed an increase in brain gray matter in 96% of the cases. (Analysis conducted on 100 men and women in their 40s to 70s)
■Summary
An app that is good for the brain sets goals for activities such as exercise, food, and brain training that can be expected to activate and plasticize the brain based on brain science, and then manages and evaluates the activities that are appropriate for the person. This is an app that helps keep your brain in optimal condition by encouraging you to. By doing brain training, you can also learn about your own brain, such as your brain age and brain power chart.
In addition, the more you use this app, the more effective the brain health maintenance AI (artificial intelligence) will be, prompting your brain to give you the best advice. (add functions as appropriate)
■Recommended for these people
・Those who are worried about dementia
・Those who have recently felt anxious about their memory.
・Those who want to activate their brain more
・Those who want to prevent diabetes

■Features of this app
・From the perspective of neuroscience, we will produce reliable results by promoting a combination of prevention including exercise, diet, and brain training.
・We will provide fun content with the cooperation of Japan's proud creators such as Tezuka Productions.
-More than 50 city, ward, town and village mascot characters appear, providing fun puzzles with a sense of familiarity.
・Analyze data from over 50,000 users and convert brain health maintenance evaluation function (patent application 2016-117839) into AI. We will provide optimal evaluation and advice (add functions as appropriate)
・The step count function provides a virtual walking course. For example, by displaying "how far you have walked on the 53 stations of the Tokaido" and clearing the course, walking courses will be released one after another.
・Brain training is a competition type game with other users online, so you can be conscious of your connections with people.
- After brain training, your brain age and brain power chart will be displayed, so you can see the state of your brain.
- The meal function is as simple as possible, allowing you to tap whether you have taken nine items that have evidence of being good for your brain and body.
・It has a medication reminder function to prevent you from forgetting to take your medication. You can also share this information with your family.

・You can use it completely free of charge. There are no additional charges.
- If you register your family on the family site, you can communicate with your family, watch over your family, and have brain training competitions between family members.
■Effective brain training
It takes approximately 3 minutes to perform calculations, puzzles, and spot the differences in order, stimulating brain activation and plasticity.
・Calculation: 10 simple calculation problems will appear. Please answer as soon as possible. This increases blood flow to the brain.
・Puzzle: Complete the character slide puzzle within the time. This aims to improve the brain's judgment and reasoning abilities.
・Find the difference: Find the difference within the time limit. There are many fun old patterns such as Astro Boy and Black Jack. This aims to improve the brain's long-term memory, short-term memory, and higher brain functions.
-Added new games such as N-back training, block counting, and flash mental arithmetic.
The difficulty level of brain training is automatically set. It will be difficult for those who can do it, and easy for those who can't, so I think everyone can use it without stress.
In the future, the number of characters, spot-the-difference illustrations, and brain training types will continue to increase. looking forward to!
■Walking pace (walking speed) is important
The exercise content of this app is "walking" ([number of steps] and [walking pace]) based on scientific grounds. If you turn on the "Physical Activity" setting of this app in the app settings of your smartphone device, you can measure the number of steps (some models do not have this setting), and set "Location Information" to "Always On". [Walking pace] can be measured.
In particular, walking pace is closely related to brain function, and advice and warnings will be given based on this information, so please keep "location information" set to "always on" as much as possible.
■Can also be used to prevent and share the following (easy health management function)
・ Body temperature: It is an important indicator that feels the rhythm and malfunction of the body. Please fill out the form every day to help manage your health. (If you link with a family site of another service, you can share your body temperature to your family)
・ Weight (BMI): It is said that obesity is the source of all illnesses, but it is not too thin. The index that shows that it is a good weight range is the indicator of BMI. Weigh yourself every day as much as possible and aim for a standard BMI of 22!
・Blood pressure: High blood pressure puts stress on blood vessels, causing arteriosclerosis, which can lead to life-threatening illnesses such as stroke and myocardial infarction. If you have high blood pressure or are taking blood pressure medication, please use the medication function of this app to help control your blood pressure.
・Blood sugar: High sugar levels are less likely to cause symptoms, but they often cause life-threatening complications and are said to increase the chance of developing dementia by 2.5 times. If you are taking blood sugar medication, please use the medication function of this app to help control your blood sugar.
