Silver MIND is a mobile web application designed as an interactive learning tool for nursing and nutrition students to deepen their understanding of dementia prevention through diet. The name stands for Silver (referring to the elderly population) and MIND—Memory, Intake, and Nutrition for Dementia. This educational platform provides essential knowledge and practical guidance on how nutrition plays a critical role in supporting cognitive function and delaying the onset or progression of dementia in older adults.
The application features structured modules covering the definition of dementia, the principles of the MIND Diet, and evidence-based food choices beneficial for brain health. It also includes localized dietary examples and culturally relevant menu suggestions to enhance applicability in community and clinical settings. An integrated quiz section helps students assess their comprehension and apply their knowledge critically. With its clear layout and up-to-date content, Silver MIND serves as a valuable supplement to coursework and field training in geriatric nutrition and elderly care.
