Preparing for a happy and successful retirementeph-hr
Financial planning is not the only area that one needs to consider when preparing for retirement. When the structure of work ends it can raise many questions. Some examples of these questions are how should I spend my time, what if I get bored and don’t like being retired and/or will spending so much time together with my partner be a good thing or not. Some people thrive and enjoy being retired while others can slip into periods of self-doubt and even depression once retired.
Slides used in a seminar to Nursing DipHE students on lifestyle and health in 2002. Aimed to:
- Provide basic knowledge of lifestyle influences on health.
- To understand the significance of first line health promotion with regards to lifestyle influences.
- To promote health and educate patients and families regarding treatments and life-style modifications.

Ageing is an important physiological phenomenon faced by all living individuals that is multifactorial and complex. The causation is still a matter of controversy. There is a lack of consensus regarding the appropriate age of ageing, though most of the countries uses chronological ages.
This presentation is regarding active ageing that builds up framework that will help the elderly mass to live a disease free active life with active participation and security in life.
This presentation also describes the different challenges faced by the elderly population for active ageing.
Government of India has been working for the aged population and there has been a number of policies and programmes that are solely dedicated to the elderly masses that has been also described here.

Understanding the health data future - Deloitte Healthconnect, co-hosted by D...DayOne
In collaboration with Deloitte, we launched in 2020 the DayOne Health Data Scenario Project. Some 50 Experts coming together in three workshops for a total of more than 18 hours have identified 10 potential scenarios that will lead the way in creating a much-needed efficient and rewarding healthcare data ecosystem. We presented our results in an online joint event: “Understanding the health data future – Deloitte Healthconnect, co-hosted by DayOne”
“It’s cheaper to clean up a mess than to avoid a mess.” This mantra, coined by Alan Greenspan explaining why financial bubbles happen, stands very much at the core of how we as a society typically seem to deal with health: rather than nudging and rewarding people to conduct a healthier life and increase their immunity, the primary focus of efforts and resources is often on treating sickness.
How can this change? What role do health data, nutrition and immunity play in this? And what difference would it make? Find out at our next DayOne Experts Event, co-hosted by DSM Nutritional Products.
There are a couple of reasons why it is not an easy thing to successfully implement preventive measures. First of all, behavioral change is hard to accomplish. Secondly, in most cases it is challenging to show the scientific evidence that a certain measure works and is worth the effort. One key focus area is the importance of an optimal nutrient intake to support our health – with a focus on immunity and beyond. Last but not least, we need to consider a business and policy model that makes prevention less of a moral burden but a worthwhile experience that we are willing to apply in a smart way.
These are the big questions we will address at the DayOne Experts Event:
Will the rise of digital and data availability change the landscape – and if so to what extent?
What can we learn from the current pandemic?
Does nutrition play a role in supporting your immunity?
Which data should we take into consideration to shape the future?
This was our conversation. Read the conclusions here: https://www.dayone.swiss/as-shown-by-covid-19-making-prevention-smart-requires-a-mind-shift/

Legal Framework for Digital Health Innovation - Data Protection and SecurityDayOne
Presentation by Monika Menz, Vossius & Partner at the DayOne Expert Event Legal challenges and opportunities for digital health innovation.
Data - GDPR still governs the data protection landscape and is here to stay. But GDPR is more than an implementation issue – innovators need to embrace its principles already when designing their products, not only to be compliant but also to gain the trust of customers and patients. As healthcare innovations are IT dependent and data driven, data and IT security are often neglected. But they are key to convincing investors and customers of the innovator’s business model, because the stakes are high, not only in terms of a start-up’s reputation and liability, but ultimately and most of all in terms of the patient’s interests as well.

Presentation by Karin Schulze, Head of Medical Devices at SFL at the DayOne Expert Event Legal challenges and opportunities for digital health innovation
Regulation
Regarding the new MDR, the big question that arises is not only whether a piece of software falls under the definition of a medical device, but also who decides whether it does. At least in this regard the new regulation is clear: it is the regulator. Which means, according to Karin Shulze from SFL, that If a company offers an app which they do not consider a medical device themselves, but the regulator does, the distribution of this app will be stopped.

Presentation by Philipp Marchand and Birgitte Bieler, Vossius & Partner at the DayOne Expert Event Legal challenges and opportunities for digital health innovation
Philipp Marchand from Vossius & Partner and co-host of the event said: “Technological developments, especially in the digital space, brought up completely new issues which lack clear definition. So, as lawyers and regulatory advisers, we have to be innovative and also come up with new solutions. This is a learning curve we have to go through together with entrepreneurs, industry and regulatory bodies“.
In other words, instead of being a French garden à la Versaille, the legal landscape has become a rather rough terrain to navigate. The uncertainty can be seen as a threat and show killer. A more entrepreneurial attitude, however, would be to see it as an opportunity, if not an invitation, to pursue more of a greenfield approach. But in order to make this happen, it is essential to address the legal aspects early on and make them part of the solution.
Protection
Accustomaed as it is to a science and engineering-driven approach, the healthcare industry has to change its mindset when it comes to protecting its business. As it is reasonable to patent a digital solution and to protect medical devices as well as mobile app interfaces by means of design and trademark rights, the legal framework is becoming more important. So, developing a great technological solution and then having it beautified later on will not suffice. Those capabilities have to be built in from day one to ensure freedom to operate and to generate added value from the digital solutions.
Expert Event Legal challenges and opportunities for digital health innovationDayOne
Introduction by Thomas Brenzikofer, DayOne, Basel Area Business & Innovation
Greenfield or jungle? Navigating the legal landscape for digital healthcare innovation
At first sight, it’s hard not to agree that dealing with the legal aspects of creating healthcare innovation is — although necessary — a rather unsexy topic. So it comes as no surprise that the DayOne Experts Event “Legal challenges and opportunities for healthcare innovation”, held online on September 30, attracted a slightly smaller audience than when the talks usually concern revolutionary new pieces of digital technology ready to disrupt healthcare as we know it — for the better.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health

In summary: Reframing Aging
Overcome troubling & persistent cultural norms and stereotypes
that underpin ageism in how people understand and engage with
aging adults
Shift: how people frame aging becomes fluid
• Bodies, Minds
• Relationships, Sexuality

Editor's Notes
With a massive population shift taking place, the opportunity for both traditional and non-traditional health actors to explore new products, services and experiences for an aging demographic is enormous.
In this book and accompanying experiences, we explore the shifts that contribute to the transformation of experience for those over 65.
In the 1950s most people didn’t age, they died25 years old
Life expectancy on exponential curve from year 1000 to year 100,000 - over all of human history, life expectancy for 99.9% of human species existence has been 18 years old “this has never happened before” “the new frontier is longevity” – this is the big one. We have never seen this before.
Challenging age 65 for retirement
2/3 of the people over the history of the world that lived past 65 are alive today
retirement age was based on first pension plan in Europe in 1880s because that was the average life expectancy
we still have our minds stuck about what 65 was in the 19th century - as “marker of old age”
With a massive population shift taking place, the opportunity for both traditional and non-traditional health actors to explore new products, services and experiences for an aging demographic is enormous.
In this book and accompanying experiences, we explore the shifts that contribute to the transformation of experience for those over 65.

Don’t focus on what tasks can /can’t do ... instead reframe story re: continuously loving their dreams and desires

The gaggle of single dudes first met a year ago, after running into each other in a communal space on the third floor of the residence. They connected over a shared sense of humor and a love of poker — always a game of seven-card.
Now, the quippy bunch gathers in a corner that overlooks the home’s cafe around 10 a.m. every morning.
“It’s like 42nd Street,” says Cohn. “Everybody has to pass here.”
They arrange themselves in a line — then spend hours heckling and gossiping about passersby.
“We’re here all day,” says Irwin Friedwald, 91, who’s from the Bronx. “We just sit here, hang out and shoot the bull.”
Online Social Gaming Environments
Roughly half of seniors are now online; many of these play games or are interested in internet gaming. Yet, unlike the typical teenage or 20-something gamer, seniors value social interaction during game play as much or more than the game itself. We are therefore building social gaming environments for seniors. We are studying the effect of chat with a partner during the playing of poker on learning, enjoyment, gaming, and social interaction.

Population aging has added about 1 percentage point per year to health spending growth.
However, 1% per year, cumulatively over time, is significant if not addressed. Aging alone will add around $2 billion per year to health spending in Canada.
While Canadians older than 65 account for about 16% of the Canadian population, they consume 46% of all public-sector health care dollars spent by provinces and territories.
The share of public-sector health dollars spent on Canadian seniors has not changed significantly over the past decade — from 44.0% in 2000 to 46.0% in 2014. During the same time period, the percentage of seniors in the population grew from 12.6% to 15.7%.

A Pew Research Center study found that of the 15% of Americans who don’t use the internet, the vast majority are 65 or older.
People have long assumed that older adults cannot adapt to new technologies. This assumption is strongly tied to misinformed ideas about the
physical and cognitive decline that occurs in old age, and to the perception that seniors are not interested in new experiences. While this generalization may have once been rooted in some truth, as technology has become more ubiquitous within society in general, so too has it been increasingly accepted by older adults.
For older adults, the most significant area of impact of digital tools can be seen, perhaps, in the social effect of these technologies.
According to a 2017 Pew Research Center survey, there has been an exponential rise in internet, social media, and smartphone usage by older adults in the US, with internet usage in particular seeing a significant increase from approximately 12% to 67% over the last two decades.

Akili video game platform is designed to quantify and improve the ability of individuals to deal with cognitive interference (distractions and interruptions), which impacts their ability to pay attention, plan and make decisions. Such deficits are common symptoms of many degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, as well as psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, autism and depression. The company recently signed an agreement with Pfizer Inc. to test the ability of Akili’s mobile video game platform (“Project EVO”) to detect cognitive differences in healthy elderly people at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
SilverPromenade enables the user to set out on virtual walks in well-known areas, for instance through the city forest, while corresponding video material is played based on his or her movements on the Nintendo Wii Balance Board
Players are invited to take a virtual walk through a park while competing in small mini-games. The walker performs walking movements on the Balance Board to progress through the world. The shaker engages in simple counting tasks by shaking the Wii Remote, e.g. following the number of a certain type of game elements. The pointer tries to catch in-game items by pointing the Wii Remote at them. The game features two different multiplayer modes: One can either play together in a cooperative team or one can decide to engage in a competitive game mode.

Trudy Smith had always dreamed of being a painter, but she did not pick up a paintbrush until she was 85.
Now 102, Ms Smith said it was a mixture of loneliness and newfound freedom that gave her the courage to start pursuing her passion following her husband's death.
"The one thing I wanted to do was to paint," she said.
"I never did very much before that because he [husband] was very critical.
"It has taken quite a while but suddenly I have realised that it is lovely to be free of everything.
Some entrepreneurs look to wholly reinvent categories. Perennial is a plant-based adult nutrition beverage taking on industry stalwarts such as Ensure and Boost. The product’s promotional campaign features buff senior citizens running on a beach with the tagline, “longevity tastes good.” Millennials and baby boomers increasingly mirror one another in adopting healthy lifestyle habits, and yet the latter are often left out by the food and beverage sector. A recent study found that boomers are more likely than any other generation to choose nutritious foods. “People are aging so much better than in prior generations,” notes Perennial CoFounder Sara Bonham. “We wanted to create a product that empowered them, not just for a need-state, but something that they want.”
