"Typically, people approach the threat of cognitive decline with the belief that it is an inevitable consequence of aging. In fact, there is much they can do to combat this threat if they learn some basic brain wellness strategies."

The blogs also complement Dakim's mission of helping seniors preserve brain health through a brain fitness system designed specifically for users over age 65. Played simply by touching a computer screen with no need for PC skills, the Dakim system provides entertaining and frequently humorous brain games featuring film clips, songs and cultural references from seniors' youth to sustain interest. The system self-adjusts to ability levels from normal brain function through moderate dementia and is updated every few days.

The system is designed to help seniors build their defenses against dementia and memory loss. Alzheimer's disease - the most common form of dementia among seniors - currently affects some 5.2 million people in the U.S. and is expected to affect more than 10 million Baby Boomers in their lifetime.
