SAVONIX, JAPAN'S FCNT UNVEIL COGNITIVE TESTING APP ACROSS 8 BRAIN FUNCTIONS
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 -- Savonix and Fujitsu Connected Technologies Limited (FCNT) have launched Savonix Mobile, a digital cognitive testing app on the Raku-Raku Smartphone F-42A.
Savonix is a global leader in digital cognitive health testing while FCNT is one of the major smartphone manufacturers in Japan.
According to a statement, the app will allow users to test their cognition across eight brain functions such as executive function, working memory and impulse control.
Users will immediately receive test results within the app and be able to take action to manage their cognitive health.
Savonix Mobile detects mild cognitive impairment 93 per cent of the time. For this reason, testing cognition is a good way to monitor brain health over time.
The Raku-Raku Smartphone will also house a pedometer and other important healthcare pre-installed applications to support and manage the user’s health.
Savonix Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Mylea Charvat said: “Our digital cognitive assessment platform enables people to assess and monitor their brain health regularly and to incorporate lifestyle advice to improve brain wellness.”
More than 4.6 million people in Japan are suffering from some form of dementia, with the total expected to soar to about 7.3 million people – or one in five Japanese aged 65 or over – by 2025.
Japan’s government last year announced aims to reduce dementia cases by six per cent in those aged 70 and older over the next six years.
