The Brain Fitness Program in the Center on Aging and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine provides older adults with a resource providing a comprehensive of mental and physical status possibly related to their memory and other abilities. During an assessment, we evaluate memory and other mental abilities that might be related to how well you’re doing. We will let you know where you stand in these areas compared with others who are like you.
Our assessment also includes an evaluation of other factors that are critical to your everyday mental performance: diet, exercise, stress, and mood.
The assessment is just the beginning, though. When the assessment is complete, will give you an individualized prescription for brain and physical training. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in computerized cognitive training, and we’ll let you know about other changes you can make to make your life better. We don’t promise miracles, but most people can think and feel better.
The program is head by Dr. Raymond Ownby, a neuropsychiatrist and neuropsychologist with extensive experience in working with older adults. Your assessment will conclude with a private consultation with Dr. Ownby, during which you’ll review the results of your assessment and discuss the recommendations that result from it.
