We are looking forward to February's #powerbackconsulting webinar! Join us for an engaging session titled "Memory Care: Going Beyond a Secured Unit," with Rebecca Slocum, PT. DPT - Clinical Director with #PowerbackRehab This webinar will review current dementia research, provide you with processes to identify the symptom burdens and concerns for your residents, and review the current standards of care for management of this complex population. We will also closely examine the expected symptom progression for the most common types of dementia and assist you with identifying expected vs. unexpected symptoms to identify secondary medical complications.

Dr Chin & Erickson share a timely perspective. An issue across the country, one of the 2024 Texas Policy Priorities is state Alzheimer’s-related legislation recognizing the critical role of Primary Care Physicians in Alzheimer's care. A 2019 study found that 85% of people first diagnosed with dementia were diagnosed by a non-dementia specialist physician, usually a primary care physician. Primary care physicians (PCPs) will play an increasingly important role in caring for individuals across the disease continuum. New legislation in this area will be a game changer for patients and their families. #raisingthebarinhealthcare

Join Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) for this informative webinar on bipolar disorder, a complex disease that varies notably in different patients, clinically, cognitively, and in terms of brain function. The reliance on traditional disease classifications (e.g., DSM categorical diagnoses) has yielded an incomplete understanding of the illness. To overcome this Dr. Burdick has applied empirical approaches to classify individuals along neurobiologically relevant dimensions into more homogenous subgroups. These novel subtypes can then be further characterized on the basis of behavioral and biological markers to identify modifiable risk factors that contribute to poor outcomes in people with BD. It is her labs hope that this approach will make possible a more personalized approach to treatment.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of 2023, 6.7 million Americans 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s dementia, and that number could increase to 13.8 million by 2060 if medical breakthroughs aren’t developed to prevent, slow, or cure it In response to this pressing need, the healthcare industry is turning to machine learning (ML) technologies to assist with the diagnostic process. These advanced technologies offer promising support for primary care physicians (PCPs) by aiding in diagnosis, enabling early detection, ensuring data consistency, and improving access to care. They are becoming indispensable tools in the fight against Alzheimer's, empowering medical professionals to deliver more effective patient care. Our latest blog post by Virginia Korma delves deeper into these digital cognitive health solutions, exploring how they're revolutionizing patient treatment approaches for doctors and medical professionals alike.
