from the first screen to the last.
You sit down with a tablet. The screen is large, clear, and easy to read.
You follow one short instruction at a time. Each activity tells you what to do next.
There is no countdown timer. You are not shown a score when you finish.
About fifteen minutes later, you have a clear starting point for noticing changes over time.
During the Session
MEVA tracks six areas of everyday cognition through brief, real-world activities — no scores, no panic.
Just patterns over time that are worth knowing.
What Happens During a Session

A visual puzzle where you recreate colorful tile patterns by matching shapes, colors, and sequences, gently exercising visual memory and attention to detail.

A find-the-difference or hidden-object game set in a peaceful garden scene, training focused attention and visual scanning.

A memory game where you observe and repeat growing sequences of garden elements — flowers, insects, paths — building working memory and pattern recall.
After the Session
The session ends. One screen appears. Not a number. Not a grade. A pattern. MEVA uses six engagement bands — they describe how your brain engaged with the activities during this session. They are not a ranking. They are not a diagnosis.
Building
Your engagement with these activities is in early stages. Consistency will show more over time.
Developing
You are building familiarity with the activities. Your patterns are taking shape.
Emerging
Your engagement is strengthening across multiple activity types.
Established
Your engagement patterns are consistent and stable across sessions.
Strong
Your engagement is well above baseline across all four areas.
Exceptional
Your engagement patterns reflect sustained, high-level performance across all activities.
This reflects your activity engagement pattern, not a measure of cognitive ability.

What will my parent actually do?
Seven real-world activities on a tablet or computer. Sorting, completing patterns, recalling, sequencing. Nothing abstract. Nothing childish. Fifteen minutes, one screen at a time.
Will it feel like a test?
No. There are no right or wrong answers displayed. No timer. No score at the end. MEVA is designed so that a 68-year-old never feels evaluated. They feel engaged.
What will I see, and when?
When sharing features launch, your parent chooses what to share with you and when. You will not have independent access to their patterns. That boundary is not a limitation. It is the design.
