Engaging e-Patients in a Digital World: How Collaboration, Transparency, and ...Daniel Sands
The document discusses how current healthcare systems are optimized for episodic care but chronic disease management requires ongoing care and communication between visits. It argues that healthcare needs to shift focus to prevention and management of chronic conditions through greater patient-provider collaboration using technology. This includes using virtual care, remote monitoring, and digital communication to engage patients outside of visits and maintain ongoing connections that can better support patients' health.
The document discusses issues with the current healthcare system such as overutilization of emergency rooms, the high and rising costs of healthcare, untreated stress, and lack of consumerism in healthcare choices. It proposes telemedicine and a first alternative resource as low-cost solutions, noting that average physician response time through telemedicine would be under 90 seconds. Telemedicine could provide 24/7 access to doctors via phone/video appointments, prescription refills, and integration with electronic health records and personal health tools to help treat common conditions and refer to specialists when needed.
This document describes Alzheimer's Safehaven, a web-based intervention for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients and patients themselves. The intervention aims to increase quality of life by reducing stress, providing social support and coping strategies, and helping caregivers manage patient health. Key features include social support forums, tools for caregiver health monitoring, patient management aids like GPS tracking, and gaming activities to track patient progress. The target populations are primary caregivers of mild to moderate Alzheimer's patients and secondary the patients themselves.
The document outlines a dementia early diagnosis campaign organized by Lancashire County Council and Alzheimer's Society. The campaign aims to increase the number of people diagnosed with dementia earlier so they can access treatments and support. It will measure effectiveness by looking for a 10% increase in GP referrals to memory clinics and traffic to a new dementia website. The campaign will target 55-75 year olds noticing memory changes in loved ones through materials distributed to GPs, pharmacies, libraries and online/TV advertising.
This document discusses caregiving for those with Alzheimer's disease. It provides information on the stages of Alzheimer's and what caregivers can expect at each stage, from early to late stages. It also discusses the toll caregiving can take and provides tips for managing caregiver stress, such as finding support groups, making self-care a priority through exercise, rest, and hobbies, and using relaxation techniques. The campaign Take 1 Moment is highlighted, which aims to recognize and support Alzheimer's caregivers. Facts are given on the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer's and the large economic and time contribution of unpaid family caregiving.

Both formal and informal support systems are important, but caregivers often lack family support and
Coursera work: Understanding the Brain: The Neurobiology of Everyday Lifepaulabrillos
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by cognitive impairment and is the most common form of dementia. It begins with mild symptoms and progresses over 10-20 years to severe memory loss and complete dependence. Areas of the brain involved include the temporal and frontal lobes, which control memory and thinking. In early stages, amyloid plaques and tau tangles form in areas for learning and memory. Later, these spread to areas for language, spatial skills, and body awareness. In advanced stages, most of the cortex is damaged, severely shrinking areas for thinking and memory like the hippocampus.
1. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. The main pathologies are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
2. There are three stages of Alzheimer's: mild, moderate, and severe. Symptoms worsen over time and include memory loss, impaired judgment, and changes in mood and personality.
3. Risk factors include age, family history, and genetics. The disease causes cell damage and loss in areas of the brain involved in memory and cognition.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative disorder of the brain that initially involves memory loss and cognitive decline, and ultimately results in severe impairment in all areas of functioning. While medications can temporarily improve symptoms, there is no cure. The disease progresses through mild, moderate, and severe stages characterized by worsening memory loss, impaired communication and ability to care for oneself, and may eventually involve inability to walk or speak intelligibly. Patients and families require education and support to understand and cope with the progression of the disease.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a neurodegenerative disease that causes deterioration of the brain and destruction of nerve cells. This leads to a loss of functioning in the brain and difficulties sending proper signals. While the cause is unknown, family history increases risk. Alzheimer's affects the brain, causing shrinkage and clumps/tangles that impair intellectual functioning. Symptoms worsen over 7 stages, from mild memory loss to severe impairment. Currently there is no cure, but drugs can help treat some symptoms.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes loss of neurons and synapses in the brain. The main pathological hallmarks are extracellular amyloid beta plaques and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles. Current treatments only temporarily improve cognitive symptoms but do not stop progression of the disease. New treatments are needed to both maintain cognitive abilities and halt the underlying disease process.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It was first described by Alois Alzheimer in 1906 after examining brain tissue from a deceased patient. The disease results from the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain, which damage and kill neurons. Risk factors include age, family history, and genetic factors. There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but medications and caregiving can temporarily ease symptoms.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and cognitive skills. Dr. Alois Alzheimer first described it in 1906 after examining a woman with dementia. The disease is characterized by beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Current treatments aim to improve symptoms but do not stop the underlying disease process. Researchers are exploring therapies targeting amyloid and tau proteins as well as other mechanisms to find a cure.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It is the most common form of dementia and develops due to a complex biological process in the brain over many years. Approximately 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's currently, and it is the fifth leading cause of death among those aged 65 and older. Symptoms include memory loss, problems with language, disorientation, and changes in mood and personality. Alzheimer's progresses through mild, moderate and severe stages as cognitive abilities and independence decline. While there is no cure, certain drugs can temporarily slow the worsening of symptoms for some individuals.
The music video will tell the story of a boy and girl through different stages of their lives. In the beginning, a young boy peeks through a door and sees a young girl playing with makeup and gold jewelry at a vanity. Later scenes will show the same two characters as teenagers enjoying each other's company. The video will cut between shots of the singing narrator and the couple to show the passage of time. It aims to tie the themes of gold from the song title to the girl's jewelry without overly sexualizing the children.

Voter Perceptions: Common Core State Standards and AssessmentsAchieve, Inc.
On February 25, 2014 Achieve hosted a webinar open to state leaders and partners in all 50 states on the release of Achieve’s third national poll – Voter Perceptions: Common Core State Standards & Tests – which shows solid majorities of voters support common standards, common assessments, and allowing teacher and students time to adjust to these new expectations. Chad Colby, Achieve’s Director of Strategic Communications and Outreach, was joined on the webinar by Alex Bratty, Partner with Public Opinion Strategies and Dave Walker, Vice President of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, to present an overview of the findings and discuss implications for leaders at the state level. This year's poll shows that awareness of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is inching up, even though nearly two-thirds of those surveyed still have heard "nothing" or "not too much" about the CCSS. Of those that said they had read, seen or heard recently about the standards, opinions were almost equally split between favorable and unfavorable, yet a plurality still favor implementation. Once voters were read a brief description of the CCSS, a solid majority, 69%, favored implementing the standards. For the first time in Achieve's series of polls, voters were asked about the effect of the Common Core and new tests on accountability and teacher evaluations. Voters believe that both student testing and teacher evaluations are important and should continue during implementation. Consequences, voters said, should only come for teachers, students and schools after an adjustment period, with a majority favoring a one or two year adjustment period.
