Dementia is the loss of cognitive brain functioning including thinking, remembering, and reasoning to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Individuals with high levels of intelligence, educational, and occupational attainment may sustain greater brain damage before demonstrating functional deficit. This is mainly contributed to their cognitive reserve, the mind’s resistance to damage of the brain. This paper proposes brain aerobics, a set of stimulating mental exercises that aims at building the cognitive reserve to protect elderly people from developing dementia’s symptoms. Brain aerobics exercises are developed for mobile devices for ease of use. Experimental results demonstrate the benefits of the proposed brain aerobics in increasing IQ levels by 7.2% for elderly people who have dementia high risk factors.
