LearningRx Tysons and Cognivue Join Forces to Combat Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
In a groundbreaking partnership aimed at enhancing cognitive health among older adults, LearningRx, a worldwide brain training company, has teamed up with Cognivue, a leading cognitive assessment platform. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the fight against cognitive decline, offering hope and practical solutions to those at risk of dementia and other cognitive impairments.
LearningRx has long been recognized for its innovative approach to brain training, employing a range of exercises, delivered one-on-one, designed to improve cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and problem-solving. With a proven track record of success across various age groups, the company’s methods are recommended for individuals of all ages, including older adults identified with cognitive red-flags. These individuals, often flagged by community medical professionals, can benefit from tailored brain training programs that address specific areas of concern.
Cognivue’s state-of-the-art cognitive assessment tools provide a critical component in this partnership. Used in the offices of medical professionals across the country, the assessment identifies areas of cognitive weakness. This allows for a personalized and effective approach to brain training. This synergy between assessment and intervention, and the extended network of professionals working together is expected to yield significant benefits for patients.
Paul Estes, President of Cognivue, Inc. states “Cognitive decline doesn’t have to be an inevitable part of aging. By promoting and focusing on good brain health, we can give individuals the information they need to make good decisions about their healthcare. Collaborating with medical professionals, hearing healthcare professionals, and companies like LearningRx, takes this one step further and gives clients a method that research has shown can improve cognition and quality of life.”
Kim Hanson, CEO of LearningRx, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are excited to collaborate with Cognivue to offer older adults a comprehensive solution for maintaining and improving their cognitive health. Our brain training programs have been shown to produce significant improvements in cognitive function, and when combined with Cognivue’s precise assessments, we are giving people real, research-based tools they can use to improve their own quality of life”
“Being able to identify that a problem may exist and provide research-backed solutions changes something that could be bleak into something empowering.”
Evidence-Based Success for Adults Facing Cognitive Decline
The efficacy of LearningRx’s brain training programs is backed by extensive research. Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive impact of cognitive training on brain function, including among older adults. One notable study published in Psychology and Neuroscience (Carpenter and Moore, 2019) highlighted significant improvements in cognition and life skills among participants with memory and attention concerns who engaged in LearningRx’s brain training exercises.
Community Involvement
The partnership is also supported by a network of community medical professionals who are committed to reducing the risk of dementia among their patients. These professionals play a crucial role in referring individuals for cognitive assessments and subsequent brain training programs. Together, they form a comprehensive support system aimed at promoting cognitive health and preventing decline.
One such professional, Dr. Kathy Rawls, an audiologist practicing in Denver, CO. Dr. Rawls uses Cognivue in her practice knowing that hearing loss, if left untreated, has been shown to contribute to cognitive decline. “Cognitive decline is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted solution. When we can work together with other professionals, like with LearningRx, all doing our parts, we provide a powerful combination that can help patients proactively protect their cognitive health.”
We anticipate the benefits of this partnership will be seen quickly in communities across the country as older adults who undergo cognitive assessments and participate in brain training programs report improved memory, better focus, and increased confidence in their cognitive abilities. These improvements not only enhance their quality of life but also contribute to a greater sense of independence and well-being.
For many, the fear of dementia looms large as they age. However, the collaboration between LearningRx and Cognivue offers a beacon of hope. Through comprehensive cognitive assessments, the multi-discipline network of professionals and targeted brain training, older adults now have access to the tools they need to combat cognitive decline and keep their golden years truly golden.
As this partnership continues to grow, it promises to transform the landscape of cognitive health for older adults, providing them with the support and resources they need to thrive.
