Kirtan Kriya is a simple meditation technique involving chanting specific syllables that has shown promise in reducing risks for Alzheimer's disease. A 12-minute daily practice of Kirtan Kriya can help strengthen the brain through neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, improve mood and memory, and may help prevent memory loss. Research has found the technique increases blood flow to brain areas impacted by Alzheimer's and enhances genetic expression.

The document discusses stress in the workplace and proposes mindfulness as a solution. It notes that stress levels for US employees have risen significantly over the last decade, costing businesses $300 billion per year in decreased productivity. Mindfulness practices like meditation, yoga and deep breathing can help reduce stress by cultivating presence. Several large companies have implemented successful mindfulness programs, reducing healthcare costs and increasing productivity. The authors propose to launch a corporate mindfulness program offering lectures, seminars, individual sessions and online support to help shift companies to a mindful culture and reduce stress. They request $52,000 in startup funding.

The study investigated correlations between physical activity levels and self-reported well-being in older adults using accelerometer and phone survey data. Fifty adults aged 50-90 wore accelerometers for a week and responded to four daily phone surveys rating mood, activity, social contact, and mental engagement on Likert scales. Higher activity generally correlated with more positive responses, though variability between individuals reduced statistical significance. Those with normal cognition showed stronger correlations between activity and mood than cognitively impaired individuals, suggesting activity monitoring could help identify cognitive health changes. Future work could explore effects of sleep and compare accelerometer and smart home activity data.

In this paper, we investigate how information visualization techniques can be leveraged to increase patient comprehension of personal medication schemes in order to make it easier for them to explore, explain and understand drug information. Using computer vision techniques, our solution is able to recognize medication boxes, or so-called pharmaceutical packages, which are laid on an ordinary table. A projector visualizes drug information such as interactions, adverse drug reactions, intolerances and the dosage regimen around corresponding boxes. Five prototypes are designed and evaluated following a user-centered, rapid-prototyping methodology. Test participants in our study included both general practitioners (GPs) and patients. Results are promising and clearly indicate that information visualization techniques are an effective means to explore and understand drug information. Even if this system was originally envisaged to be used as a means to improve `therapy dialogue' between GPs and their patients during consultations, our results show that both GPs and patients think it would be highly beneficial if patients were able to use the system at home.
The Future of Brain Health
The document discusses the future of brain health and cognitive technologies. It describes 10 emerging brain technologies including wearables to monitor and enhance focus, meditation, and self-regulation. It also discusses electrical and magnetic brain stimulation, virtual reality treatments, brain-computer interfaces, and neuromonitoring technologies. Finally, it discusses how big data and machine learning can enhance diagnostics and treatments for various brain conditions like seizures, ALS, and more. Overall, the technologies described aim to transform brain health by enhancing functions like memory, learning, and skills training through personalized cognitive simulations and interfaces.

Online psychotherapy
Online psychotherapy has shown effectiveness that is comparable to in-person psychotherapy. Several studies have found medium effect sizes for online interventions for various psychiatric disorders. While there are challenges like lack of nonverbal cues, benefits include increased accessibility, lower costs, and flexibility. More research is still needed directly comparing online and in-person psychotherapy.

Hospitals are under increasing pressure to improve care, lower costs and avoid nurse burnout and turnover. One overlooked area is the patient assignment process, which could benefit from intelligent software. This slide presentation lays out the case for it.
Profit Solutions for Physicians
This document summarizes a solution called Physician Profit Solution that aims to help struggling private practices by having patients purchase beneficial supplements on an automatic monthly basis. It argues that the current healthcare system is unsustainable for private practices due to declining reimbursements and rising costs. Physician Profit Solution proposes having patients purchase inexpensive stress-mitigating supplements each month, which could earn practices $11 per patient each month, amounting to $250,000-$500,000 annually. It claims these supplements would support homeostasis and benefit patient health by mitigating stress, the largest threat to homeostasis according to the document. The solution aims to empower doctors and answer patient demand for supplement advice from their physicians.

This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of daily cognitive enrichment activities on semantic processing and long-term memory in older adults aged 71-75 over 12 months. The study recruited 30 adults and assigned them to either a treatment group that completed 2 hours per day of cognitive training and puzzles, or a control group that engaged in regular daily activities without cognitive enrichment. Both groups were given pre- and post-tests at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The results supported the hypothesis that cognitive enrichment improves memory, inductive reasoning, and semantic processing speed. However, limitations included that participants were not representative of all elderly and those with cognitive declines were excluded. Future research should study if these effects can reduce health service needs
Mental Health Ecosystem: Co-designing and Empowering with and for the patients
Presentation at the Citizen Science Conference, May 19 2017. We will report the process behind an ongoing research within the context of mental health and by putting all focus on patients under the person-first perspective. The whole research has been done in
deep collaboration with the Catalan Mental Health Federation which unites Catalan ecosystem in mental health: patients, families of patients, doctors, and other personnel related to both medical and social assistance. Jointly with all of them, we co-designed the research and proposed a battery of social
dilemmas ready to be played by all members of the mental health community in Catalonia. Experiments in the project are a place to collectively share risk in research practice with all actors. A key issue is to interpret research as a full experience made in public. Additionally, experiments are placed in everyday's contexts and out-of-the-lab. The approach assumes that social games can be a tool for capturing experimental data closest to a social concern to be responded with robust scientific measures. All actors are empowered with the data being gathered and, in its most basic perspective, there is a two-fold objective: to create a self-reflection tool for each of the participants and to reinforce social inclusion avoiding stigmas. Games co-designed provide guidance towards socially-related measures for trust, blame, self-confidence or cooperation being all of them linked to mental health recovery processes. Based on the results and the evidences collectively raised, Mental Health Federation aims to encourage administration to take action and if necessary reorient policies in the different regions of Catalonia (Spain).
CBT interventions for Panic Disorder
Three well-designed studies found that group cognitive behavioral interventions for individuals at risk of panic disorder can effectively reduce panic and agoraphobic symptoms. The strongest treatment gains came from multi-session group programs that included education, breathing retraining, exposure exercises, and cognitive restructuring. A single-day workshop format was also effective in reducing panic symptoms and risk of panic disorder onset at 6-month follow up. However, brief interventions and unguided online self-help programs showed limited effectiveness. Comprehensive 8-week group treatments or single-day workshops including exposure techniques are recommended.

This document provides a preview of a study that examines how task conflict can lead to positive emotions and increased job satisfaction. The study, conducted by Tordorova, Weingart, and Bear, surveyed 232 employees at a long-term health care organization over two time periods. It found that mild task conflict between employees from different departments led to more information sharing and positive emotions, such as feeling active and interested. However, intense task conflict did not always have these positive effects and depended on other contextual factors. The study aimed to understand how task conflict, positive emotions, and information acquisition relate to job satisfaction.

The mHealth Triad + Fund Failure
The document discusses the mHealth triad of healthcare organizations, mHealth technology, and research. It summarizes that:
1) Healthcare organizations want to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes using mHealth tools.
2) mHealth technologies are opening new areas for behavioral research using personal, longitudinal, portable health data collected from sensors and text messages.
3) Research helps improve mHealth technologies using persuasive systems, machine learning, and behavior change theory to provide personalized preventative healthcare messages.

This document discusses self-management support for people with long-term conditions like multiple sclerosis. It presents evidence that supporting self-management can improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. However, most self-management programs have modest effects and some people struggle to engage. The document outlines a continuum of self-management levels and strategies to support people depending on their abilities. It also discusses challenges to implementing self-management programs and getting staff and patients fully engaged.
Business presentation
The business concept is to sell supplements and promote healthy eating and exercise habits to contribute to wellness. Products include food supplements and the business encourages the idea that the body needs nutrients from both food and supplements to function properly. Funds will be raised through business proposals to companies and pamphlets accepting donations. The products will be sold by motivating both employed and unemployed young people to pass on the idea and sell products for a percentage of profits. The target markets are all age groups and locations since health needs change with age, but the focus is convincing young active populations to become agents promoting the idea.
Basic knowledge and skills about shares
This document provides basic information about shares and how to invest in them. It defines what shares are and explains that they are an important way to build wealth by investing in companies rather than just selling your labor. It outlines how to make money from shares through capital growth and dividends. It also describes share markets and how to buy and sell shares, either through a stockbroker firm by opening an account and placing orders, or online brokerages for international trading. The key message is that taking the first step of opening a share trading account is necessary to start investing and seeing results.

- A randomized controlled trial was conducted to test whether delivering personalized social norms feedback via Facebook could reduce problematic alcohol use among university students.
- Students who screened positive for hazardous drinking were randomly assigned to a control group or intervention group that received messages with norms data and their own drinking behaviors.
- Results found the intervention group significantly reduced their monthly alcohol consumption and frequency at one and three month follow-ups compared to baseline and the control group.
- Perceptions of drinking norms also became significantly more accurate for the intervention group after receiving feedback.nPower - IEEE GOLD Volunteer Information Evening Nov 2013

This document discusses the need for rigorous evaluation of e-health and mhealth technologies. It notes that while such technologies are widely used, their actual impacts on productivity and health outcomes are unclear. Evaluations of healthcare IT have found unintended consequences like increased clinician workload and new types of medical errors. The document calls for investment in e-health to be based on evidence from well-designed trials and evaluations. It identifies key questions around measuring impacts, designing technologies to improve health, and supporting organizational changes. Finally, it presents guidelines for good evaluation practices in health informatics.Everything student life presentation
This document describes a proposed mobile application called "Everything Student Life" aimed at connecting students looking for accommodation or to buy and sell items with landlords and other students.
The application would have two main types of users - students searching for accommodation or items (buyers) and landlords and students listing accommodation or items for sale (sellers). It was designed as an iPhone app to be easily accessible to students.
User research in the form of questionnaires and interviews with students informed the design and features of the prototype, which allows buyers to search and view listings and sellers to post advertisements. A user-centered design approach was used and prototypes were tested iteratively based on user feedback to refine the interface.

Overview
Develop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as it relates to a target vulnerable population. Include an analysis of existing evidence and position papers to help support your position. Your analysis should also present and respond to one or more opposing viewpoints.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Position papers are a method to evaluate the most current evidence and policies related to health care issues. They offer a way for researchers to explore the views of any number of organizations around a topic. This can help you to develop your own position and approach to care around a topic or issue.
This assessment will focus on analyzing position papers about an issue related to addiction, chronicity, emotional and mental health, genetics and genomics, or immunity. Many of these topics are quickly evolving as technology advances, or as we attempt to push past stigmas. For example, technology advances and DNA sequencing provide comprehensive information to allow treatment to become more targeted and effective for the individual. However as a result, nurses must be able to understand and teach patients about the impact of this information. With this great power comes concerns that patient conditions are protected in an ethical and compassionate manner.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that could support a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that are contrary to a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
Explain the role of the interprofessional team in facilitating improvements for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
Explain a position with regard to health outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Communicate an initial viewpoint regarding a specific issue in a target population and a synthesis of existing positions in a logically structured and concise manner, writing content clearly with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Evidence–Based Health Evaluation and Application
Introduction
Public health improvement initiatives (PHII) provide invaluable data for patient–centered care, but their research is often conducted in a context
different from the needs of any individual patient. Providers must make a conscious effort to apply their findings to specific patients' care.
In this activity, you will learn about a PHII, and explore its application to a particular patient's care plan.

Good morning!
At last week's conference I spoke with Alicia Balewa, Director of Safe Headspace. They're a relatively new nonprofit working on improving outcomes
for TBI patients, and I immediately thought of Mr. Nowak. At his last biannual cholesterol screening he mentioned having trouble with his balance. This
may be related to his hypertension, but he believes it's related to the time he was hospitalized many years ago after falling out of a tree, and
expressed distress that this might be the beginning of a rapid decline.
Ms. Balewa will be on premises next week, and I'd like to set aside some time for you to talk.

My father came home from Vietnam with a kaleidoscope of mental health problems. That was the 1970s, when treatment options for things like PTSD,
TBI, and even depression were very different. Since then there has been a lot of investment in treatment and recovery for combat veterans. That's
excellent news for veterans in treatment now, but they're not looking at my dad, and how his TBI and PTSD have affected him through mid–life and
now as a senior. That's why I started Safe Headspace: to focus on older patients who are years or decades past their trauma, and find ways to help
them.
Which treatments showed the strongest improvement?
Exercise. We were able to persuade about half of our participants — that's around 400 people, mostly men ages 45–80 — to follow the CDC's
recommendations for moderate aerobic exercise. Almost everyone showed improvement in mood, memory, and muscle control after four weeks. After
that a lot of participants dropped out, which is disappointing. But of t ...

The document discusses the Take Charge intervention for stroke rehabilitation. It provides the following key points in 3 sentences:
The Take Charge intervention aims to improve intrinsic motivation in people who have had a stroke by focusing on personal factors like autonomy, mastery, purpose and connectedness. Research shows Take Charge can improve independence, quality of life, and participation when delivered in 1-2 sessions in the community months after a stroke. Take Charge puts the person with stroke in control of their rehabilitation by focusing the session on their personal goals and dreams rather than a clinician-led plan.
Take_Charge_extended_presentation_slides.pptx
Taking Charge after Stroke (TaCAS) is an effective intervention for improving outcomes for people living in the community after a stroke. It aims to spark intrinsic motivation by putting the person with stroke "in the driving seat" and focusing on their dreams and goals beyond just the stroke. The TaCAS trial found Take Charge improved quality of life, independence, and participation at 6 and 12 months follow-up compared to usual care. It was effective with as few as one session and showed better results with two sessions. Take Charge is a low-cost, easy to deliver intervention that can change clinical practice by supporting better long-term stroke recovery outcomes through enhancing intrinsic motivation.

Resilience to Thrive Coaching A Science to Practice Approach
This is the slide deck for a presentation delivered to the Institute of Coaching in 2022. This interactive session will introduce participants to the 10 principles of the Resilience to Thrive (R2T) Coaching model/training developed and researched by Dr. Joel Bennett and colleagues from Organizational Wellness & Learning Systems. At its core, R2T situates resilience as one step in a broader aspirational framework that treats human beings as having an innate power to transform stress and challenges into positive growth experiences, across the lifespan. Participants will learn about resilience stories, set-point, working with triggers, job crafting, creating the “couch” of coaching, and the use of cognitive-behavioral worksheets and coaching tools that support the resilience to thrive journey. We will also showcase a 1-year follow-up evaluation study of coaching students who went through the R2T training. Results suggest the model holds promise as an adjunct to both wellness coaching and mental health practice. To access the video recording please checkout IOC

Summary
Background
The rising number of young people going to university has led to concerns about an increasing demand for
student mental health services. We aimed to assess whether provision of mindfulness courses to university
students would improve their resilience to stress.
Methods
We did this pragmatic randomised controlled trial at the University of Cambridge, UK. Students aged 18
years or older with no severe mental illness or crisis (self-assessed) were randomly assigned (1:1), via
remote survey software using computer-generated random numbers, to receive either an 8 week
mindfulness course adapted for university students (Mindfulness Skills for Students [MSS]) plus mental
health support as usual, or mental health support as usual alone. Participants and the study management
team were aware of group allocation, but allocation was concealed from the researchers, outcome
assessors, and study statistician. The primary outcome was self-reported psychological distress during the

1122020 A mindfulness-based intervention to increase resilie
This study evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness training course called Mindfulness Skills for Students (MSS) at reducing psychological distress in university students compared to usual mental health support alone. 616 students were randomly assigned to receive either MSS plus usual support or just usual support. Students who received MSS had significantly lower psychological distress scores during exam periods than those receiving just usual support, indicating MSS increased resilience to stress. No adverse effects were reported. The study provides evidence that mindfulness training can be an effective component of university mental health strategies.
IRJET- Intelligent Depression Detection System
This document discusses research on developing an intelligent depression detection system using natural language processing of social media posts. It summarizes several previous studies that have used Facebook and Twitter data to predict depression by analyzing language and behavior. Specifically, some key studies are highlighted that have successfully predicted depression levels based on survey responses and self-reported diagnoses on social media, with prediction accuracy rates up to 89% in some cases. The document also reviews approaches that have used online forum membership and posts to classify mental health conditions. Overall, the research suggests social media can provide insights into users' mental states and has potential for early detection of depression.
cognitive functions rehabilitation
Headway UK provides support and information to people with acquired brain injuries and their families through a network of local support groups across the UK. The organization aims to bridge the gap between medical care after brain injuries and cognitive rehabilitation services. Cognitive rehabilitation involves holistic assessment and treatment, including education about cognitive issues, goal setting, skills training, compensation strategies, and addressing emotional needs. Two case studies are presented: Ian, who had memory and attention problems treated with cognitive strategies and anxiety management, and Heather, whose frontal lobe damage caused behavioral issues treated with medication, education, counseling, and involvement in a volunteer program.
Reducing total cost of care in final version v3
This document discusses using the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) to reduce the total cost of care through population health management. The PAM is a 13-item survey that assesses a patient's knowledge, skill, and confidence in managing their own health on a scale of 1 to 4. Tailoring care based on a patient's activation level can improve outcomes. Data shows higher activation levels are associated with better self-management behaviors and health outcomes. The presentation argues that stratifying patients by clinical risk factors and activation level allows targeting resources more efficiently to increase activation and reduce costs.

Plant breeding in Australia aims to develop new crop varieties that are adapted to specific environments, resistant to diseases, increase yields, and suitable for domestic and export markets. This is done through analyzing major crops, targeting quality traits, and considering gaps and effects of climate change over 8-12 years. Australia exports wheat, barley, canola, and pulses to various global markets. Resources are allocated to improve traits driven by end users. Climate change may reduce grain protein, micronutrients, and bread quality through elevated CO2 levels. Developing strategies and new varieties that ensure ongoing food and nutrition security considering acceleration of lifestyle diseases is needed.

3. Interventions to improve village poultry include vaccinations, market access, and addressing gender roles in production and consumption. Integrating poultry into nutrition-sensitive agriculture can benefit maternal and child nutrition.
2.2 resetting the australian table chooks august 2015
This document discusses the cultural and economic valuation of chicken production and consumption in Australia over time. It traces how chickens transitioned from household production to industrialized farming and mass production to meet supermarket demand. Women have played key roles in chicken value chains as farm co-owners, processors, and especially as household managers who purchase chicken due to demands of modern life for cheap, convenient food options amid changing gender roles and time constraints. The cultural values added by supermarkets centered around making chicken cheap, convenient, with choices and a clean image.

Women play a central role in agriculture, health and nutrition but often lose out on benefits compared to men in the chicken value chain in Tanzania. While women do most of the work in production, they have less role in marketing and consumption, getting smaller shares of food. Putting women at the center of value chains could boost efficiency, fairness, poverty reduction and health by recognizing women's contributions and addressing gender inequities in activities, decision-making, household dynamics and policies. Strategies include building on tradition, creating women's spaces, organizing for change, and standards that support empowering women in vertical and horizontal integration throughout the chain.1.2 resetting the australian table session 1. heather grieve

The document discusses the double burden of malnutrition (DBM), where undernutrition and overweight/obesity coexist. It presents trends showing many low and middle income countries experiencing a nutrition transition due to diet changes from traditional plant-based foods to more processed foods high in fats and sugars. This transition is linked to a rise in overweight/obesity and nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) while undernutrition persists, demonstrating the DBM. Indonesia is provided as a case study showing how rising incomes, changing diets and lifestyles have contributed to the DBM through data on calories and nutrition as well as the prevalence of undernutrition and NCD risk factors.1.1 j rushton 19 aug 2015 final
Livestock food systems are complex and play an important role in societies by providing food, income, and nutrition. A value chain approach can provide a better understanding of these systems by mapping the flows of products, nutrients, and hazards across the entire system from production to consumption. Recent studies in Nairobi have shown gaps in understanding pathogen transmission dynamics and disconnects between active food systems and nutrition of the urban poor. Expanding such analyses to other locations can improve policy by clarifying these complex systems and focusing on what is important to measure like human behavior, governance, and ensuring food provides adequate nutrition.
1.3 food systems innovation presentation v2
This document discusses the need for innovation in food systems to address current demands and crises. It argues that the real crisis is an innovation crisis, as food systems must change quickly to meet 21st century needs. Food systems innovation encompasses both technological changes and institutional/policy changes. Accelerating innovation requires constructive dialogue between public, private, and civil society stakeholders to set priorities, identify partnerships, and develop coherent policies and regulations. Australia's food system is connected globally, so domestic stakeholders must engage regionally for effective innovation.

This document discusses the role of policy in promoting human health and nutrition security in Australia. It notes that an estimated 5% of Australians are food insecure, while high rates of overweight and obesity exist. The document advocates for policies across the entire food system to increase access to affordable, nutritious foods. This includes supporting local food production and procurement, as well as initiatives to promote purchasing of healthier options. Government policy needs to focus on both the quantity and quality of available food to improve diets and reduce disease risk.Scott orr and-burgess_doing_well_by_doing_good_v5

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

- 2. The Problem
- 3. How to promote wellbeing and resilience? In an effort to promote mental health, most research in psychiatry focuses on understanding mental illness, ways to predict it and treat it However, mental health is not simply the absence of mental illness – only 25% commonality! The questions remain: What defines optimal mental health? What defines the flourishing and resilient individual? Can these features be nurtured in people who may be low in resilience and wellbeing using intervention tools such as e-health platforms?
