Acuity Games Creates Brain Game Based On Alzheimer’s Test
Pompton Plains, NJ (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- Brain games developer Acuity Games is pleased to announce the creation of Acuity Games:Total Recall, the 11th game in their growing line-up of brain health assessment-based brain games.
Total Recall was inspired by the MMSE (mini mental-state examination) question that requires patients to repeat a list of three objects and recall them later. Total Recall allows players to choose: the objects categories to recall, the number of objects to recall, and the length of time prior to recalling the objects.
“The biggest problem with the MMSE is that is given too late, usually when there is a potential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease,” said Dan Hansen, founder of Acuity Games. “We need to start measuring our brain health much earlier, when we can take effective action to prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias.”
“To prevent the expected tripling of dementia cases by 2050 we need to begin improving our brain health now, and the best way to improve is to measure,” he concluded.
Total Recall, like all Acuity Games apps, provides revolutionary brain health assessment that can help improve the brain health results of lifestyle choices, helping to prevent dementia. Acuity Games: Total Recall will be available on Apple’s iTunes App Store as a free download with minor feature limitations that can be removed via a $0.99 in-app purchase. The game is scheduled for release in mid-February.
