TL;DR Samsung will apparently announce a Brain Health service at CES next month.
This service will analyze data from your phone and wearable to detect changes in cognitive function and early signs of dementia.
Brain Health could also offer personalized brain training programs to improve your cognitive abilities.

These programs are presumably in line with games like Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Switch.
