- Published: 6th October 2025
Aging well is a valuable tool for anyone looking to live better, healthier, and more independent for longer.
Aging Well is a free brain health app designed to improve long-term health outcomes for people managing chronic conditions, those focused on brain health, or those affected by dementia.
Developed by Red Star with funding from the Chief Scientist’s Office through the Scottish Health Industry Partnership (SHIP), Aging Well has been created in close collaboration with West of Scotland Innovation Hub to ensure it meets the highest standards of care and usability. This NHS-supported innovation is now available for people across Scotland to download on the App Store and Google Play.
The app helps users take practical steps to support their brain and overall health. It allows people to easily track their conditions, appointments, vitals, medications and daily routines, while also providing accessible information and tips on dementia prevention and healthy ageing.
Aging Well is designed for people 45 and older, particularly those living with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cognitive impairment or dementia, as well as carers supporting loved ones with these conditions.
