Our approach is based on brain science.
MapHabit’s foundation is built on our evidence-based research. Our app was built based on our research on procedural memory, under the guidance of co-founder Dr. Stuart Zola, professor and co-Director of Emory University’s Alzheimer’s Research. Along with our research partners, we determined that using the app significantly improved overall quality of life for individuals and their care partners.
