Brain BootcampTM (Legacy) is our first low-cost, innovative research initiative targeting better brain health for older adults.
This project has been developed using evidence-based research about the modifiable risk factors for dementia. Our survey and Brain BootcampTM Box focus on lifestyle factors that research suggests when modified will reduce your risk of dementia, even in later life.
By participating in our online survey and using the resources in our project you will be providing invaluable input into future research on public health initiatives to encourage and support brain-healthy, sustainable lifestyles for seniors.
Since its launch in January 2021, Brain BootcampTM has:
- Delivered 850+ free boxes to seniors around Australia
- Seen up to a 72% potential reduction in cognitive impairment
- Won 5 awards for its research and results
