This document discusses boomers' use of technology for health and wellness. Some key points:
- Boomers are eager adopters of new technologies that improve health and independence as they age. They are taking charge of their health.
- Boomers use the internet and own smartphones and tablets to research health topics, communicate with doctors, and monitor chronic conditions.
- New technologies allow at-home health monitoring which many boomers prefer over visits to doctors' offices. This reduces healthcare costs and burdens on the system.
- The healthcare industry and tech companies are developing more integrated systems and services that empower consumers to manage their own health.

The Effect of Poor Fine Motor Skills on Children between the Ages of 3-5 Years Christina Sookdeo
Poor fine motor skills can negatively impact children ages 3-5 in important ways. Fine motor skills allow children to interact with and learn about the world, and are precursors to early literacy, numeracy, and self-care abilities. Factors like genetic predispositions, environmental influences like prenatal exposure to drugs or alcohol, and lack of engaging activities can cause delays. Children with poor fine motor skills may struggle with tasks their peers find easy and can experience lowered self-esteem and frustration as a result. Educators must provide supportive environments, targeted activities, patience and encouragement to help all children develop these essential skills.

10 things to know about presserving socialmediakawanicole
This document discusses 10 key points about preserving social media content for organizations:
1) Organizations need social media strategies as it has become essential for communication and marketing. Banning it is not realistic.
2) Organizations must preserve and archive all social media and websites due to e-discovery and regulatory requirements. Social media content, like other electronic records, may be discoverable in litigation.
3) Policies and processes are needed to routinely capture and retain social media content and activity in a searchable archive. Failing to do so risks non-compliance and inability to produce content when required.

Service robots in elderly care at home: Users’
needs and perceptions as a basis for concept

Abstract. Background: Service robots may offer an innovative assistive solution to improve the quality of life of frail elderly
people, by assisting them in specific situations identified as relevant to maintain independence.
Objective: This paper describes the results of a qualitative and quantitative research based on a user-centered methodology carried
out within the EU-funded project “Multi-Role Shadow Robotic System for Independent Living” (SRS), aiming to generate user
requirements and realistic usage scenarios maximizing the alignment with users’ needs, perceptions, feelings and rights.
Methods: A qualitative and quantitative research – based on focus groups (59 participants) and questionnaires (129 respondents) –
was carried out in three countries: Italy, Spain and Germany. The survey involved prospective end-users (elderly people and
family members who care for them), caregivers, and geriatric experts.
Results: Results show that despite elderly people encounter difficulties in many activities of daily life, a semi-autonomous
remotely-controlled and self-learning service robot has been judged an interesting solution only in some circumstances. Moni-
toring and managing emergency situations, helping with reaching, fetching and carrying objects that are too heavy or positioned
in unreachable places: these are tasks for which robotic support has been widely accepted, while tasks involving direct physical
contact between the person and the robot are not appreciated instead. Relatives of the elderly could act as remote operators;
however, family psychological burden and time restrictions should be considered too.
Conclusions: A tele-operated robotic system may be of help for frail elderly people. In certain cases this solution may be effective
only in conjunction with a 24-hour professional Service Centre able to manage tele-operation when relatives are not available.
This survey adds further tokens of knowledge to previous literature studies on this subject; it compares the potential users’ and the
professionals’ views; it helps identifying potentially successful applications of tele-operated robots in the care of elderly people
living at home. The results obtained by the present study, generated specific requirements and the first versions of concrete usage
scenarios, enabling designers and technologists to start with a first development phase of the SRS concept.

Social Media for Regulated Industries by SocialVolts whitepaperSocialVolt
The white paper discusses regulations and risks that regulated industries must consider when developing a social media strategy. It outlines guidelines for financial services, pharmaceutical, and healthcare companies regarding regulations from FINRA, the SEC, FDA, and HIPAA. The financial services industry must ensure social media communications comply with suitability and disclosure requirements. The pharmaceutical industry can provide limited responses to unsolicited drug questions within FDA guidelines. Healthcare organizations can participate in social media while maintaining patient privacy as required by HIPAA.
Importance of social media in Pharmaceutical industryActiance, Inc.
Guidelines for the pharmaceutical industry are lacking, Novartis had used Facebook and two popular social networking sites, to influence consumers in spreading the word about Tasigna, a cancer drug. The FDA concluded that Novartis’ act failed to meet regulatory and compliance standards. Specifically, the FDA called out Novartis’ marketing as incomplete and misleading since it failed to communicate any risk information associated with the use of Tasigna.
Abstract:
Public Relations have been an integral part of human communications, since time immoral. It developed as an art and science in the 20th century. Today, there is no sector, whether it be Government, Private or NGOs, who do edgy in their operations. The ever escalating cost of advertising too has contributed to the significant growth of this industry.
While Public Relations, known by other sophisticated names such as advocacy, spin doctor, spin in-spin out etc, has immensely contributed towards highlighting socio-cultural issues, development affairs, exploring the innovative inventions, maintaining and harnessing the organization goodwill in the market. As far as grassroots innovators are concerns they do have knowledge abundance, and some want to use this knowledge to try things out. Public Relations is the tool to promote and explore those knowledge abundance across the human being.
The document discusses theories related to the adoption and diffusion of new communication technologies. It begins by outlining several relevant theories, including Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations theory. It then analyzes each level of the "umbrella" model for understanding technology adoption. The document concludes by predicting how specific technologies may evolve or be replaced by 2022, such as phones becoming hologram-based, computers becoming more portable notebooks, books transitioning to e-readers, and wifi being universally accessible.
This document discusses mobile device management for healthcare organizations. It notes that mobile devices are increasingly being used in healthcare but also present challenges related to security, privacy, and compliance. The document advocates a solution of implementing policies, providing education to users, and using mobile device management tools to discover, manage, and secure devices and the data on them. This approach aims to balance enabling mobile technology while mitigating risks.
The State of Social Media in Federal Government - April 2012GovLoop
The document discusses the increasing use of social media in government to improve transparency, engage citizens, and respond to issues in real-time. It provides statistics on how Americans use social media and highlights 5 mega trends transforming government, including demands for transparency, citizen engagement, humanizing government interactions, crisis management, and real-time response. The document also offers tips for integrating social media and leveraging existing resources.
The document summarizes a seminar held by the Health Sponsorship Council on August 5, 2010. It discusses using social media to promote public health campaigns and provides examples of existing public health campaigns on social media platforms. It also outlines strategies for engaging influencers and communities online to spread health messages and behaviors.
Social networks have become increasingly important tools for organizations to reach stakeholders and share information. The document discusses how social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn have impacted various industries and organizations. In healthcare specifically, social networks hold potential for communication, collaboration, and information sharing between providers and patients. Some healthcare organizations are already using social media to better understand patients' experiences and improve care.
Consumers now expect greater transparency from nonprofits and companies involved in social causes. They want to know exactly where money is going and what impact it is having. This has led to more transparent labeling and reporting of social and environmental efforts. It also means less "goodwashing" - superficial social or environmental actions aimed solely at improving brand image - and more focus on creating real change.
1. Social media is changing how health information is shared, as people can now discuss topics on platforms like Twitter.
2. The FDA has not provided clear guidance for pharmaceutical companies on social media use, but holds meetings to get public input on developing guidelines.
3. Some key challenges for healthcare companies engaging on social media include adverse event reporting and maintaining fair balance in discussions.
Making Child Welfare More Social: How Social Media Can Influence Child Welfar...Brittany Smith
Social media can help strengthen relationships for youth in child welfare by connecting them with siblings, bio parents, foster siblings, and friends from previous placements. It also allows youth to tell their story and find support from peers. While some barriers exist like lack of time, knowledge, and confidentiality issues, developing social media guidelines and providing staff training can help child welfare agencies utilize social media's benefits in a responsible way. The key is focusing on empowering youth through connection rather than reacting with panic to new technologies.
This Kickstarter campaign seeks funding to develop an app called 2nd Circle that aims to reduce stress and burnout in family caregivers. There are over 50 million family caregivers in the US who provide an estimated $450 billion in annual care. The app will connect caregivers to friends and family for added support, sharing of resources, and engagement to improve resilience against burnout. Funds raised will be used to create versions of the app and build an initial user base, with future plans for the app to be self-sustaining through ads, premium subscriptions, and partnerships with health insurers.

This document discusses consumer-centric health models and self-tracking topics. It lists over 30 different areas that individuals self-track, such as cycling performance, smoking cessation, sleep, diet, productivity, meditation, and more. The document emphasizes that while technology enables extensive data collection, individuals want experiences and meaning from their self-tracking efforts. It suggests that feedback loops, both short and long term, are needed to provide surprises, game mechanics, social motivation, and opportunities to observe patterns and progress.

This document describes the Helpers Program, a social and community network approach to tobacco cessation. The Helpers Program trains community members to have "helping conversations" that encourage and support tobacco users who want to quit. It is based on research showing the influence of social networks on health behaviors and that quit attempts are often unplanned. The Helpers model provides web-based or in-person training to help community members feel confident having supportive conversations about quitting resources. Several research projects have tested the Helpers approach in various communities and found it increased knowledge and helping behaviors. The goal is to engage social networks and foster communities that support tobacco cessation.

Health Innoventions’ authors and conference organizers (Max Wells and Michael Gallelli) suggest that a confluence of demands and growing dynamic and interactive capabilities will drive us to better science and application of behavior change and maintenance. It was prepared as a companion document to the conference Consumer-Centric Health: MODELS FOR CHANGE '11, which took place on October 12-13 in Seattle.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Boomers view tech-‐enabled health products as a way to foster control and ongoing independence for themselves, espe-‐
cially in light of the rise in incidence in chronic disease with aging, and their desire to reduce costs.8 Nearly 56% of boom-‐
ers show a high willingness to use in-‐home health monitoring devices in tandem with the care of their primary physician.
