The Center for BrainHealth at UT Dallas has announced three “major new partnerships” it says will enhance its mission to empower people at all ages and circumstances with science-backed approaches for proactive brain health and fitness. The center will be working with 21 Impact Labs, Gomo Health, and Virginia High Performance to advance proactive brain health and fitness approaches.

“Over the past 25-plus years, Center for BrainHealth has been researching brain health and developing both cognitive training protocols and measurement tools to empower individuals and organizations to address a critical unmet need for proactive, holistic ways to improve brain health and performance across the age span,” Stephen B. White, JD, COO at Center for BrainHealth, said in a statement.

“As an academic research institution, the best way for us to achieve our ambitious mission of turning research into impact is to collaborate with respected partners that have aligned missions, broad reach and established credibility,” he added. “We’re excited to collaborate with three organizations that fit that profile.”

‘A new era for brain health and brain fitness’

“We’re entering a new era for brain health and brain fitness,” Brian Magierski, founder and CEO of 21 Impact Labs, said in a statement. “Science has proven we have agency over our brain performance and health. Now, people are hungry to embrace this evidence for better lived experiences, and I’m very pleased that our new app is leveraging scientifically rigorous content from Center for BrainHealth.”

21 Impact Labs has launched its xponetiq app and solution platform to empower people to learn and sustainably adopt daily brain fitness habits. The xponetiq app and solution platform is powered by content and technology developed at Center for BrainHealth, the center noted.

GoMo Health CEO Bob Gold said his program “guides human behavior, which is ultimately all about the brain. The science-backed cognitive training content that Center for BrainHealth provides fills a critical gap.” GoMo Health will leverage the center’s science-backed content to expand the resources offered to its users, with the goal of improving compliance and outcomes for “large patient populations across the United States and Europe.”

VHP holistically assesses, trains, and improves current and former military special operators’ health and wellness with solutions designed to optimize human performance and ignite the recovery of our nation’s service people, via personalized physical, nutritional and holistic wellness interventions. 

Collaborating with Center for BrainHealth adds the center’s proprietary performance assessment and tracking tool, the BrainHealth Index, along with science-backed training protocols that leverage the brain’s “executive networks,” the center said.

“We were seeking to add research-based metrics to our arsenal,” said VHP Founder and CEO Alex Oliver, “and with the BrainHealth Index we’re able to capture the impact of our programs on the brain’s health and performance—giving the people we serve the ability to track their progress as they improve.”
