Your health

Raising a family or building a career, you were sharpening your brain at the same time.
Now you get to sharpen it on purpose.

For decades, the life you were living kept your mind sharp without you trying. CHAMP helps you keep it sharp, deliberately.

Grounded in published research from the Lancet, Yale, and Columbia.

What your life was doing

It is never too early to start. Whether you are fifty and watching a parent, or seventy-five and watching yourself, the most useful record of your mind is the one that began years ago.

You were not managing your cognitive health. You were living, and the two happened to be the same thing.

You did not need to think about cognitive health during the years you were building a career, raising a family, and staying connected to the world. The research shows your brain was being protected the whole time, through daily stimulation, structure, purpose, and the social connections of a full life.

The 2024 Lancet Commission identified 14 modifiable factors that together account for nearly half of all dementia risk. Most adults between 35 and 65 were quietly addressing the majority of them:

  • Mental stimulation and new learning, through a career that demanded it every day
  • Physical movement, through a life that required it without asking
  • Social connection, through colleagues, community, and family
  • Sense of purpose and challenge, through being needed, every single day
  • Structured daily routine, through a schedule that was never optional
  • Stress regulation, managed by a life that also held meaning and momentum
  • Sleep quality and metabolic health, maintained through the ordinary rhythms of an active life

Smiles came easily.

After 65, most of those are no longer built into daily life. And for the first time, you have the opportunity to consciously care for your cognitive health.
The idea behind CHAMP
The opportunity

Most people never see the connection. The roles that maintained their cognitive health for forty years have changed, and nothing stepped in to replace them. Not because anything went wrong. Because no one told them what those roles were doing.

When you understand this, you can ask a different set of questions. Which factors matter most for me, given my history, my health, and the people around me? What is steady, and what is worth watching? What can my physician and I actually work on together?

Deliberate turns out to work better than accidental ever did. Because now you know what you are building, and why it matters.

What the science shows

The best years of your cognitive life can still be ahead.

This is not optimism. It is published research from the Lancet, Yale, Columbia, and JAMA Network Open.

45%

of dementia risk is tied to modifiable factors: things a person, family, and care team can change together.

The research behind every claim

The evidence we follow. Open any card.

These findings are strong associations from published, peer-reviewed research. They point a direction and inform what we build. They are not promises about any one person.

How we put it to work

Fifteen domains, the way health is actually lived.

A mind does not live in a single test score. It lives in sleep, in movement, in the people you talk to, in the medications on the counter, in whether you can hear the conversation at dinner.

CHAMP is organized around fifteen domains of cognitive and everyday health, because that is how a real life actually holds together, and because these are the levers the science says you can move.

The people who showed us
“The best years are ahead of all of us.” A workshop participant, 78
“A test once scared me. You showed it’s just a snapshot at that moment. It reduced my fear of taking those tests.”
Michael
“You see a doctor and you’re just a collection of symptoms. Here, you’re a person again.”
Michael
“Just like you exercise your body, now we’re at the stage of getting older people to exercise their brains.”
Sheila
“I feel as though I passed.” “You did. With flying colors.”
Jean, 92
“We were like little kids, we wanted to keep playing. I could feel how happy I was, just having fun.”
Sheila
“None of my software projects directly benefited human beings. This is what a person can do to have a better life.”
Michael
“When I got a low score, I was really happy. Now I understood what it meant. It didn’t mean I was declining.”
A founding tester
“I’m still in the same house, same social security number. I’m just a little older. I’m 80 now.”
A founding tester, 80
“The best years are ahead of all of us.”
A workshop participant
After three Saturdays
“How did you like the workshop?”
“I really enjoyed it. People need to know what’s going on.”A participant
“A test that’s really thorough. A really good idea, to know where you’re at.”A participant
“A lot of information every Saturday. It was worth it.”A participant
“I like the style. You go in, and you get the points done.”A participant
“Did you enjoy it? Oh yes, wonderful. Really, really helpful.”A participant

What CHAMP is

We are building the first cognitive health management system.

The way a diabetes management system helps you manage one number over time, CHAMP helps you manage the fifteen things that keep a mind well. It tracks them day to day, shows you your own trends against your own baseline, and turns awareness into something you can act on.

You see your picture. Your family sees what you choose to share. And your physician can use it where it counts: at your annual cognitive care visit.

It starts from a belief the research has earned: that the most important years of your cognitive life are the ones still ahead.

Now in pilot. Commercial release this fall.

CHAMP opens August 1.
