My team and I spoke to over 300 older adults and found that many people were missing out on simple strategies that could reduce their risk of dementia. This must change and that’s when the idea to create a Brain Bootcamp began.
Founded by Dr Joyce Siette, a Research Fellow at Macquarie University, Brain Bootcamp aims to enhance your knowledge and awareness of dementia and its modifiable risk factors.
Starting in January 2021 we offered 1,000 FREE Brain Bootcamp boxes designed to help seniors to age successfully. We are in the process of collating the data and will share our findings soon.
Our research initiative aims to support you by delivering to your door free tools and resources that will help you make changes in your daily life to support a healthier mind.
To the amazing Brain Bootcamp Team, what a big surprise awaited for me when I came home this afternoon. A beautiful box with so much information and suggestions to help my ageing brain.
Thank you.
Such an exciting initiative led by Dr Siette. I’m signing up for Brain Bootcamp now! Share with friends and families because we love our brains!
Reducing dementia risk should be part of our overall health objectives as we grow older (and we all are doing that!). Brain Bootcamp makes it easy & fun. Bring it on!
Many thanks for this great initiative and the planning and effort that has gone into its presentation. So thoughtfully done. What a delight to receive something free and useful these days!
This pack is such a blessing and has given us the enthusiasm to preserve our grey matter for as long as possible. Thanks again.
Enter your details and complete the survey you will receive to generate your own brain health profile.
Your box will arrive within 7 days, filled with resources and items for you to use immediately.
In 3 months, we’ll send a reminder to complete the survey once again to update your brain health profile.
