Web-Based Brain Wellness & Social Networking Platform for Senior Living
Personal Dashboard  
The Personal Dashboard allows seniors / patients to quickly get orientated and be reminded of important dates. It motivates them to engage in brain stimulating activities using rewards, and it enables them to turn everything they do on the system to a truly personalized experience. Your caregivers learn about the senior's / patient's background and interests to enable a smoother move-in and a more personal care.
   
Today  
Today allows users to plan their schedule for the day/week/month and print it. Public information regarding activities can be posted on all or some users' calendars. Additional information such as reminders to exercise, incoming emails and trivia can also be streamed to the Today screen.
   
Communicate  
Communicate allows users to email to family and friends, in a simple visual email system, safe from spam. Users can also video-conference using Skype®. This is an exciting capability for residents and one that helps keeps residents and families connected.
   
Play  
Play allows users to engage in brain stimulating exercises and games. Training in a broad range of cognitive skills that have been demonstrated to be important for daily functioning is promoted. 7 Exercises are uniquely customized with personal data to motivate users to play. Popular games are also available – and all are easy to find in one place.
   
Brain Gym  
Users can exercise on a touch screen in a "Brain Gym", on their personal computer in their apartment / room or when they travel provided that they have high-speed internet access. They can use a Windows based PC, a Mac or an iPAD.
   
Group Activities  
Many brain exercises in My Vigorous Mind are popular group activities which engage independent living, assisted living, memory care residents and patients in rehab alike.
   
Browse & Create  
Browse & Create allows users to reminisce and record (in their own voice) their life story using our proprietary "Recollections" database of pictures from the 1920-1990s. Users are able to add their own personal pictures and can share the stories they have created with family and friends. Other activities include simple internet browsing, hundreds of Fun Facts which are stories about what happened this week in history, as well as other sources of relevant information. Browse & Create offers a variety of engaging and fun group activities with new content added on a regular basis.
   
Marketing & Reporting Tools  
My Vigorous Mind offers multiple marketing tools to help you increase occupancy. An online calendar of activities can be displayed on large video screens at the lobby as well as other desired locations and can also be featured on your website for families to see. Marketing and orientation slideshows of your community for prospects and new move-ins and “Face book” like slideshows of your staff and residents, help build a sense of a community and can be shared with families. Extensive reporting is available about users' progress performing brain exercises and about usage of all modules of My Vigorous Mind. Caregivers can assign specific targeted exercise programs to seniors' / patients' and monitor usage and performance regularly. Single and multiple users' data can be exported for research and other purposes.
