GE Healthcare launched a new app and website this month called GE MIND, which stands for Make an Impact on Neurological Disorders.

GE MIND aims to identify "gaps in current frameworks for the prediction, detection, diagnosis, and care of people with neurological disorders and to propose viable solutions," according to the app's description.

GE worked with Dr. Monica M. Kurtis, a consulting neurologist for patients with movement disorders based out of Madrid, Spain, on the app's medical content.

On the website, users can share their story of living with a neurological disorder, read about about the disorders and their treatments, or listen to music on GE MIND's MoveMINDs page. According to the website, music helps users remember special memories, make more fluid movements and improve communication skills, which is why music is often used for therapies on patients with neurological diseases. GE MIND's playlists have artists that span from Bob Dylan to The Jackson 5, and the website encourages users to add songs to their own playlist and share them on Twitter using the hashtag #MoveMINDs.

The app offers additional features including the option to watch or move along with dance videos, interact with paintings and a compose music on a virtual keyboard.

To encourage early diagnosis of diseases, the website will have a section, which has not yet launched, with online tests for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, essential tremor, stroke and traumatic brain injury. The tests are made up of a series of questions and exercises.

In August, the CJE Senior Life (formerly Council for Jewish Elderly) and The Art Institute of Chicago launched a somewhat similar iPad app, Art in the Moment, to encourage conversation and engagement in older adults with cognitive disabilities by way of art.
