Brain Exercise Initiative
Visible analytics reporting that helps admin and other stakeholders understand how app usage impacts the progression of Alzheimer’s.
About Project
The Brain Exercise Initiative aims to enhance its mobile app by implementing backend analytics for comprehensive reporting, enabling administrators to assess the impact of app usage on Alzheimer's progression. In addition to facilitating seamless patient progress monitoring, BEI seeks to incorporate features such as video conferencing with neurologists, auditory-based exercises, adaptive question difficulty, and outreach to seniors in non-urban areas.
Our Client
Brain Exercise Initiative
BEI, Brain Exercise Initiative, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on preventing memory loss through brain exercise. BEI’s mission is to help seniors with Alzheimer’s improve cognitive function, and the way they accomplish this is through a mobile app for providing seniors with simple math, reading, and writing exercises - exercises that are proven to slow down memory decline.
Our Process
Product Scope
Client Goals 🥅
The primary goal of this project is to develop analytics reporting in the backend for BEI to monitor user progress. The secondary goals include adding video conferencing for BEI app users, adding a referral system so Alzheimer’s patients far from large cities can be referred to the BEI app, adding difficulty progression for questions in the app, and adding an auditory feature along with the other exercises in the app.
End-User Goals ⚽
The main goal of this project is that BEI admin will have access to a fully finished backend analytics hub, which allows them to better improve the care for their patients. By the end of the project, we also want app users to also have access to additional beneficial features.ble by only staff or staff and other volunteers.
Our Solution
Key Features
Analytics Dashboard
A website where volunteers can create accounts and monitor app usage statistics as well as search a patient database to view patient progress. Tiered administrators can additionally view, edit, and approve volunteer accounts.
Personalized Questions
Integrate performance statistics and question difficulty, ranked by global performance on each question. Based on the individual performance of the user, we will only show them a questions that are within a given window in terms of difficulty. Each week, they will work towards progressively harder questions.
Auditory Interactions
Implement new brain exercises that are auditory based, rather than purely visual. This will enable different areas of the brain to be activated.
Chapter Management Page
A page where administrators can view and assign volunteers per BEI chapter. It also maps patients that use the app to their nearest BEI chapter, allowing for a hybrid form of care.
