Cerego is an adaptive learning technology platform based on principles of neuroscience and cognitive science.[1] Cerego's patented[2] technology uses the scientific methods of distributed practice and the testing effect as the basis of user memory retention for content built in and available on their website.[3]

Cerego has partnered and collaborated with various organizations and institutions including The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,[4] EdX,[5] Cengage[6] and Fabien Cousteau’s Mission 31.[7][8]

In 2009, Cerego launched a new Facebook app called Smart.fm Brainspeed that scans the information in the profiles of the user's friends and then creates a quiz around their personal information, in order to assess the memory power of the users.[9]

In 2013, Cerego partnered with Elsevier to provide nursing and healthcare students an adaptive learning solution for their educational content.[10]

In 2014, Cerego was awarded a grant by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to provide next-generation digital courseware designed to reach more than 1 million low-income students and disadvantaged learners in undergraduate courses by 2018.[11][12]

Preliminary results from a study conducted at Excelsior College in 2014 indicated that using Cerego can help increase grades when studying math and biology online.[13]
