This therapeutic approach was able to slow down dementia by 50%. We built MindAhead to bring it to you.
MindAhead is the first therapy app for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia based on behavioral activation therapy.

Supported by clinical research
Clinical research by Rovner et al. has shown that behavioral activation therapy can significantly reduce the risk of progressive dementia. After 2 years of living with behavioral activation, memory decline was 1.2% for behavioral activation vs 9.3% in the control group who received supportive therapy.
“We found that after 2 years, participants in the behavioral activation group were only half as likely to show deterioration in cognitive tests at a given time point.” – Dr. Barry Rovner
Designed for people with early cognitive issues
The app is specifically designed for people with mild cognitive impairment and early dementia. Simple controls, large font size and visual support help users to navigate the app.
Only basic smartphone skills are required.
Intervene early to slow down cognitive decline
You cannot cure dementia. But you can slow it down.
Behavioral activation therapy stimulates the brain in three important areas: social, physical, cognitive. This can slow down cognitive decline and help stay independent for longer.
“There is no other digital therapy that uses the behavioral activation approach for dementia. It is a unique approach designed to give back some degree of control over the rate of cognitive decline.” – Patrick Fissler, PhD
