Cognability
Evidence-based cognitive health
The challenge
The 2024 Lancet Commission found up to 45% of dementia cases are linked to 14 modifiable risk factors — yet there was no accessible, everyday tool that turned that science into action. Cognability needed a product that clinicians would trust and ordinary adults would actually use every day.
The journey
01
Turn the science into a product
Translate validated neuropsychological frameworks into a clinically grounded 5-minute risk assessment across 14 modifiable factors.
02
Design for the real barrier
Build a plan engine that finds each person's top 3 risk factors and whether the blocker is knowledge, access or motivation.
03
Make habits stick
One targeted daily action, adapting as behaviour changes, with reassessment every 66 days to show the risk score moving.
04
Serve individuals and institutions
Dashboards for adults, caregivers, clinicians and corporate wellness teams, across web, mobile and Apple Health.
