MindFit, which was created by CogniFit, is a computer-based ‘brain gym’ that will provide hours of entertainment, as well as improved mental acuity. Exercising with MindFit cognitive assessment and training software for 20 minutes a day, three times per week, provides a workout for the brain spanning 14 different cognitive areas including short-term memory, attention focus, spatial orientation, reaction time, memory recall, time estimations, shifting abilities, visual short term memory, awareness, planning and eye-hand coordination.
Marc Agronin, director of mental health services at Miami Jewish Home & Hospital for the Aged, said: As Florida’s largest nursing home, and a non-profit organization, it was important to us to test many products on the market, and choose the most cost- effective cognitive exercising system available-that was MindFit.
