The presentation discusses the increasing global challenge of dementia, highlighting the projected growth of seniors with dementia from 47.5 million currently to 135.5 million by 2050. It outlines opportunities in the senior care and brain health markets, projected to be worth $319 billion and between $4 to $10 billion respectively by 2020, while acknowledging barriers to innovation such as the lack of focus and evidence. The Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation aims to enhance aging solutions through research, testing, and collaboration, with significant funding committed from various sources to support these initiatives.

- 20. Privileged & Confidential Lumos Labs, Inc. Lumos Labs SharpBrains Summit 19 November 2015 Glenn Morrison, PhD
- 21. LUMOS LABS, INC. Our Mission • Create and validate training tools that aim to improve cognitive abilities • Create and validate assessment tools to measure cognitive performance • Advance the pace of cognitive science research • Expand the understanding of the human brain
- 22. LUMOS LABS, INC. HCP Researcher Ecosystem • Includes university-based researchers, industry partners, educators, clinicians, and study volunteers • Research areas include: • brain injuries and rehabilitation • chronic conditions • diseases and disorders • data science projects • education and learning • exercise and athletics • cognitive change in healthy adults
- 23. LUMOS LABS, INC. Problem Statement for Brain Training Industry ➡ No clear agreement on the core elements that need to be included in any study of CCT in order to demonstrate clear evidence of efficacy (statistical improvement) and effectiveness (real-world relevance) • ‘Stanford’ Statement • Statement released by The Stanford Center on Longevity and the Berlin Max Planck Institute for Human Development • Signed by 70 largely academic researchers • Finds that claims promoting brain games are frequently exaggerated and at times misleading • Encourages continued careful research and validation in this field • Open Response Letter • Open Letter published and signed by 127 neuroscientists, psychologists, and other experts in the field of neural plasticity • Disagrees with the consensus • Does not agree that “there is no compelling scientific evidence” that brain exercises “offer consumers a scientifically grounded avenue to reduce or reverse cognitive decline.” • Expressed concern that many readers of the Stanford statement might wrongly conclude that there is no evidence that any cognitive training regimen can improve cognitive function
- 24. LUMOS LABS, INC. Call to Action • Bring together CCT industry leaders, academics, and experts in the field • Review and discuss current state of computerized cognitive training research • Reach consensus on the standards for conducting adequate and well-controlled studies to support efficacy and effectiveness • Publish consensus paper that those in the field can turn to for guidance
- 25. LUMOS LABS, INC. Open Questions for Consideration • What is the best control condition? • Active control? • Passive/no-contact control? • What is the optimal training regimen? • How many times/week? • How many weeks? • Requirement for booster? • Requirement for maintenance of effect? • What are the best outcomes • Measuring cognition • Computerized assessments vs pencil/paper • Remote vs in-clinic • Measuring function • Self-reported outcomes • Performance based outcomes • Other
- 26. LUMOS LABS, INC. How to Get Involved • An Industry effort and not a Lumos/Lumosity effort • Currently generating list of experts to reach out to and plan for an initial meeting in early 2016 • Small group first in an effort to identify key principles and agree on major themes • Plan for larger meeting in Q1 2016 • Interested?
