Lumosity is a web-based service that helps you “exercise” your brain with online games that has officially launched today. Founded by a neuroscience graduate from Stanford, Lumosity aims to offer tools for the ongoing health of your brain.

The games played with the Lumosity program help build your cognitive abilities in three areas: attention, processing speed and cognitive control. Do one of the games on a daily basis, which will take about 20 - 30 minutes. Follow the program that Lumosity has laid out or pick and choose the game you’d like to play each day. Lumosity will keep track of your progress and offers detailed statistical reports in each of the areas it helps build cognitive abilities. The service, however, is not free. A year of service will cost you just under $80 (that equals about $6.60 per month).

Finding new and improved ways to enable people to take more control over their own health and find ways to provide introspective measures that they would otherwise not be able to gain on their own is a new trend we’re seeing in web-based services. The matter of tracking and reporting is the most valuable differentiating factor for any type of introspective service that’s provided online, as it takes much of the legwork out of maintaining this level of data otherwise. Other services that have tracking and maintenance tools in regards to health include inPowr, RevolutionHealth, and Diet Television.
