Girl invents mobile app to help keep her grandmother's mind sharp

The app is called Grandma's Game (aka Match Gold). The application consists of a digital version of the grandmother's favorite game: a matching card game. This works as a tool for brain training for seniors and adults that can be customized with family photos.

Chloe and her grandmother used to play this game together for hours to keep the grandmother's mind sharp.

It all started in 2015, when Chloe's grandmother was 86 years old and was living in a nursing home. The inventor's idea was to introduce cards with all the grandchildren in the game. She thought a good way to do this was to transform the game into a mobile app.

It was a success: the grandmother was playing all the time and then got the word out about this solution. Soon after, Chloe was building apps for other families.

The game is being sponsored by 1-800-MEDIGAP and is available in the App Store in two versions: a free version (with ads) and a paid version (with no ads), which costs 99 cents. It went live in 2018.
