Brain Health at the Forefront of Human Performance Training
Brain health is the foundation of everything we do—how we move, think, feel, and connect. Yet in today’s modern world, we’re facing a brain health crisis driven by one key shift: we’ve outsourced physical effort to technology.
As our lives have become more sedentary and automated, we’ve moved away from the natural connection between thought and movement—the way our ancestors solved problems, stayed alert, and built resilience. Now, we often think without moving, and move without thinking. This disconnect is not only affecting our bodies—it’s rewiring our brains, weakening the very systems that support memory, attention, balance, and decision-making.
To reclaim brain vitality, we must return to what neuroscience confirms is essential: activating the brain through physically and mentally demanding experiences. One of the most effective ways to do that is through dual-task training—a method that challenges users to perform a cognitive task (like solving a problem or reacting to information) while simultaneously engaging in physical activity (like stepping, reaching, or balancing).
This is where technologies like SMARTfit play a critical role.
“Everything we do with our bodies starts with a thought-led demand which activates the executive function abilities such as problem solving, planning and decision-making; thus triggering the physical action that produces the expected outcome. If the physical ability to execute does not exist, then the demand leads to the creation of the necessary new neuropathways required to deliver on the demand. It is this demand and the associated practice and use — both mental and physical, that drives human performance at every level.
At SMARTfit we decided to focus our Brain Health technology development on harnessing the essential neurological connection to physical performance to replace and supplement what we are losing as our lifestyles become more sedentary and reliant on technology. SMARTfit reintroduces meaningful movement by making the human body the input device. Its tools and games create a unique environment where thought and action work in harmony, challenging users to think proactively and execute with precision.”

SMARTfit’s innovative platform is built on the principle that true brain health comes from combining executive function demands (like planning and decision-making) with real-time physical movement. Its interactive technology restores the natural loop between cognition and motion, helping users rebuild the brain-body “superhighways” that are essential for preventing cognitive decline and maintaining independence.
Whether used in rehabilitation, fall prevention, or peak performance training, SMARTfit delivers dual-task activities that strengthen neural pathways, improve coordination, and reawaken the brain’s ability to adapt and thrive.
Solutions like SMARTfit empower people of all ages and abilities to train their brains by moving their bodies—restoring the connection, resilience, and cognitive vitality that modern life too often neglects.
