Most dementia care technology is built in labs, by people who have never worked a shift in a care home. Captain's Chair is different. We started with boots on the ground — and we're building technology that reflects that.
Our clinical trials test whether brain stimulation and nutritional interventions can slow cognitive decline — generating the evidence that makes our technology credible to care homes, grant bodies, and research partners.
"Do brain stimulation activities and nutritionally dense food slow the progression of dementia as measured by cognitive language assessments?"
Core Research QuestionEvery trial delivers all three components together at partner care homes.
Supervised cognitive assessments using validated tools including the Boston Cookie Theft picture description task, MoCA, and verbal fluency measures. Language complexity and fluency are tracked longitudinally.
Accessible cognitive exercises — word association, picture matching, pattern recognition — delivered through a simple interface designed for seniors. Engagement is tracked and correlated with assessment outcomes.
Chef and nutritionist-curated meal plans grounded in evidence linking specific nutrients to cognitive health. Mediterranean diet, omega-3 rich foods, and anti-inflammatory protocols. Weekly lunches provided at partner care homes.
Whether you run a care home, work in dementia research, or are looking for better tools to support a loved one — we want to hear from you.
