Problem
Traditional methods of collecting data for brain health research are often confined to laboratory settings, limiting the scale and diversity of participant data. This restricted data collection can slow down the progress of understanding and addressing mental health and cognitive decline.
Solution
Neureka is a mobile application designed to engage users in citizen science by providing brain health games and questionnaires. The app allows individuals to contribute to large-scale studies on mental health and cognitive function directly from their smartphones. By gamifying the data collection process, Neureka broadens participation in research, gathering diverse data sets that can enhance the scientific community's understanding of brain health. The platform offers various "Science Challenges" that combine games and questionnaires, each designed to gather specific insights into how the brain works and interacts with the world.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes individuals interested in contributing to brain health research, citizen scientists, and those looking to learn more about their own cognitive function.
