Bbc Breakfast Show Today - What Is The Name Of The App?

[Cmitchell]

On the BBC morning show called Breakfast, that was on this morning, the presenters and a couple of guests started talking about a new app that helps researchers to understand (or study?) dementia. All you have to do once you've downloaded it from app store etc is input your age and female/male then you start playing the game just for 10 mins per day I think it was. I was getting ready for work at the time and I missed the name of the app (not that they made it clear - I think with it being BBC and all!) Did you catch the name of the app? All help much appreciated

Cheers Mitchell (PS tried to watch on catchup, just now to see if I can get the name, but that prog not available for some reason)

Does it work on laptops or just smartphones?

Isn't it to collect research data and needs to be analysed afterwards ?
I got the impression it doesn't directly help those with dementia.

Yep, it's for research

///The way players navigate the 3D levels in Sea Hero Quest will be anonymously tracked and sent to the researchers.
Researchers from UCL said the game generated useful data about 150 times faster than lab-based experiments.
"In my research team, I could only test about 200 people a year, and that's working hard," Dr Hugo Spiers, from UCL, told the BBC.
"But last night I tested 200 people in one minute with this game."///

You download it from Google Play or App Store so I guess not on a Windows OS laptop.
