Belmont Village Senior Living Partners with Neuroflight to Help Advance Cognitive Wellness Research for Older Adults
Innovative Bird Watch program demonstrates promising engagement and cognitive benefits for seniors with memory challenges
Belmont Village Senior Living, a leading developer, owner, and operator of senior living communities across the country, has partnered with NeuroFlight on a first-of-its-kind pilot program that brings science-backed digital cognitive training to those experiencing cognitive issues through Neuroflight’s Bird Watch platform. The collaboration marks the first time Neuroflight has partnered with a senior living company for a live resident trial, reinforcing Belmont Village’s commitment to advancing innovative research and wellness solutions that support healthy aging.
Bird Watch is a neuroscience-based, research developed cognitive training game developed by Dr. Chandramallika Basak, Chief Scientist and Founder of NeuroFlight, Inc., Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas. Based on the groundbreaking NIA-funded research of Dr. Chandramallika Basak, NeuroFlight is dedicated to improving cognition and quality of life for older adults who are at high risk of Alzheimer’s Disease. Their digital brain training tool Bird Watch is shown to engage brain areas associated with memory, problem solving and decision making in cognitively healthy older adults, by challenging users to their optimal best using a closed-loop adaptive design and sustaining their mental engagement through interactive play. The game is designed to target key areas of the brain that are affected by Alzheimer’s Disease, which led to the partnership with Belmont Village.
