CogniFit & QuiverTree Partnership – Brain Games In The Sky
A unique partnership has emerged within the ever-expanding area of cognitive growth and health. But this time, it’s taken to the skies. CogniFit has partnered with QuiverTree, which specializes in aviation and media content. Let’s take a closer look at this company, how they’re integrating some of CogniFit’s essential brain training games, and other interesting facts that fliers might want to take advantage of.
What Is QuiverTree?
For anyone who’s been on an airplane, you’re well aware there is always some sort of media provided. This can be a single screen attached to a wall, a drop-down screen, or something embedded in the back of a headrest. From there you can binge movies and television until your heart’s content, and the plane touches the runway. There are also options where you can connect through your smartphone.
But did you know that this content isn’t provided by the airlines? It’s actually through content and media companies – ones like QuiverTree.
QuiverTree Media is redefining in-flight entertainment with disruptive integrations and partnerships. We design content solutions suited to every hardware – Panasonic, Thales, Zodiac, Rockwell Collins, and more. Ensuring seamless delivery of on-demand entertainment, via seatbacks, overhead monitors, browser-based platforms and mobile apps is core to our know-how. Best of all, our services cater to all onboard environments, regardless of inflight internet availability.QuiverTree
One example of the content they offer is Audible, which makes audiobooks. And if you didn’t know, audiobooks or even podcasts are far better for the brain than movies or television. Passengers can choose from binge-worthy audiobooks, exclusive podcasts, bite-sized audio content, and genre-bending Audible Originals. For captivating storytelling, they make Audible a part of your flight.
CogniFit & QuiverTree Partnership
Sometimes, especially on longer flights, there is only so much television and movies you can take. Jetlag might be setting in and you get the fuzzy feeling in your brain. You crave brain stimulation.
This is where CogniFit’s contribution comes in. Passengers now have access to 20 games from CogniFit’s catalog. Not only that, but all fight staff also have access to play these games through the plane’s intranet. So, during the long hauls around the world, you can use the time to nurture those neural networks and flex some of those key brain functions.
And, since QuiverTree offers its content to multiple airlines, chances are, you’re going to see CogniFit’s games somewhere in the menu.
