The app is created for users to perform brain exercise everyday to improve brain fitness, maintain brain sharpness and monitor brain memory changes related to fatigue and aging.
The app begins with a user creating a list of favorite objects identifiable by names and images.
After the creation of the list of the objects, the user can watch a presentation of objects in a random order to memorize the names and images.
In the final step, the user can recall the order of the objects shown. The app will compare the user’s order with the order shown and calculate a percentage score. The scores will be displayed and plotted on a graph for the user to monitor the changes over time.
Q&A:
Q: How to create an object?
The user can take a picture of an object and upload the image along with the name to the app when creating a new object.
Q: How many objects should a user create?
It is recommended to create five objects to start with and move to ten objects if the score is 100 percent every time. It would be challenging to memorize more than ten.
Q: How to memorize the objects?
A: For some people, it is usually easier to memorize simple names such as a, b, c etc. But images may help others. Since it might take longer time to memorize both names and images, the app has an option to change the refresh time so the user can study the name and image for longer time.
Q: Are there any tricks and tips for using the app?
Not really. The apps itself is intuitive. However, when creating the object, the green text that reads “Click to select an image” is clickable which will bring up the image directory of the phone. Additionally, each entry of created objects including a name and an image can be deleted by a swipe action. Lastly, the default order number is 0. The new order numbers can be added after the zero or to replace the zero.
