AmuseIT - brain stimulation mobile app

 

AmuseIT is a user-friendly app that stimulates the brain and promotes conversation among dementia patients, their caregivers, and their loved ones. This app is designed to help dementia patients engage through over a thousand simple quiz questions and visual components. Questions and images serve as effective communication strategies to tap into past memories and spark conversations. Customization options are also available to accommodate shaky hands, cognitive levels, and more. The iOS app is only available to download on the iPad, as it is designed and recommended only for tablet use.

Availability: iOS and Android

App cost: $4.99 on iOS or $3.49 on Android

How does it work?

Put the AmuseIT app, running on an iPad/tablet, into the hands of the person with dementia. Allow them to make the decision regarding what topic they would like to look at.

Choose a quiz category and sub category by tapping the pictures. There is a wide selection of topics to match all interest. You might be surprised where you discover hidden knowledge.

AmuseIT runs offline, it can’t be resized and the screen doesn’t rotate, allowing a person with dementia to intuitively use AmuseIt without unexpected changes in how the images are displayed.

Focus on enjoyment, rather than achievement

Use the questions and image as a conversation starter.

The question level is set automatically for each quiz.

The questions and images tap into memories of the past.

Customize AmuseIT settings to suit the individual user:

·         Shaky hands? Turn the “Single tap answer” off.

·         Reduce the number of questions, to allow for variations in attention spans.

·         Slideshow mode or selecting the “Next question” suits different users.
