Alzheimer is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Estimates vary, but experts suggest that more than 5 million Americans may have Alzheimer’s and worldwide is estimated to be as high as 24 million.

There are plenty of great apps out there to help raise awareness and support those affected by the disease. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, but these apps aim at supporting the patients, family members and caregivers too.

Train your Brain

The app has been specifically designed with seniors in mind and has a complete collection of games that will help develop memory skills while having fun. Within this app you will find different games to test the user’s capacity of retention and memory in the short and long term. The game includes classic games like matching pairs and more innovative games.
