Jigsawdio

We’re excited to share the research study results for our Phase 1 NIA-funded scientific pilot study for our Alzheimer’s multi-sensory engagement platform done in collaboration with Alzheimer’s scientific researchers at Indiana University, Texas A&M University, and Duke University. Our quantitative research study abstract was presented recently at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) national conference. In summary, after 6 weeks of using the Jigsawdio program, participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease had a statistically significant improvement in their testing scores for cognition and depression. We are encouraged by the suggestive evidence that Jigsawdio may offer benefits to those living with Alzheimer’s and related dementia. The qualitative results will be coming soon and the full publication once it’s available. We have just applied for a Phase 2 SBIR NIA grant in pursuit of evaluating the Jigsawdio program further in a clinical research trial with sites at both Texas A&M and Duke University. It’s been a pleasure and an honor to learn from these esteemed and dedicated Alzheimer’s researchers. We’re truly thankful to all of our scientific and business advisors, the research team, study participants, long-term care facility staff, grant writing experts, NIA program officers and staff, business and regulation consultants, product designers, engineers, and the hundreds of other businesses, organizations, and people who helped to support this project with their time, effort, or letters of support. Your inspiration and direction have been imperative for this project. We can’t wait to see our future product development, research results, and eventual launch to bring the Jigsawdio platform to people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
