What research backs the Elevate brain training app?
A peer-reviewed study of Elevate users found that the more someone used the app, the more likely they were to say their cognitive skills (like memory and math), daily life, and overall mental fitness had improved.
The users in that study came from a 2025 survey of more than 4,200 adults who use Elevate. Here's what those adults told us:
- feel mentally sharper
- 81%
- feel more motivated to improve
- 85%
- process information faster
- 70%
In a separate four-week study from 2015, 146 Elevate users improved more on tests of grammar, writing, listening, and math than a control group of 125 people who didn't use Elevate.
