  • AUTOmatically Integrate
  • Educational Curators
  • Astonishing Statistics
  • Emotive Video
  • The Lancet Journal
  • Landmark Research

Aspirationally, Omni-Channel methods should, with Positive Cycles, AUTOmatically integrate these aims:

  • Awareness why hearing acuity and communication wellness are vital
  • Understanding that hearing relates to common medical conditions
  • Treatment with evidence-based diagnostics and personalized solutions
  • Outcomes which, will expertly optimize brain health and quality of life
To Educational Curators focused on Alzheimer’s Disease, two fundamental truths are prominent:
“Knowledge is Power. Knowledge Shared is Power Multiplied.”
—Robert Boyce
Astonishing statistics, such as these, regarding Alzheimer’s Disease:
While quality of life imperatives are vital, economic impacts are immense, estimated at US $818 billion globally, accelerating towards 1 trillion dollars and beyond. At an individual level, reputable sources estimate these median costs for U.S. based long-term care services in 2022.

  • Non-medical home health aide at $28 per hour, which is $1,113 per 40-hour week

  • Assisted living facilities at $4,635 per month or $55,620 per year

  • Semi-private room in a skilled nursing facility at $268 per day or $97,747 per year
With empathetic perspective, please view this short video:
From a growing body of dementia research, often complex in its scientific nature, it is challenging to know which to pay attention to and key takeaways. For these reasons, like museum curators deciding which artworks to display, we are dedicated to identifying peer-reviewed literature worthy of close attention.
This is expressly true for leaders intending to nurture wellness instead of fanning flames of fear. Clearly, this is crucial for our beloved that are affected and caregivers. Scare tactics need NOT apply!
One of the most highly regarded and peer-reviewed medical research resources is the Lancet Journal. “Since its first issue (October 5, 1823), the journal has strived to make science widely available so that medicine can serve, and transform society, and positively impact the lives of people. The Lancet is committed to applying scientific knowledge to improve health and advance human progress.” 1

“Lancet journals have extensive global reach with more than 84 million annual visits on TheLancet.com and 141 million downloaded articles across TheLancet.com and ScienceDirect.” 1

“The Lancet is an internationally trusted source of clinical, public health, and global health knowledge” 1

The point is, when Lancet research speaks, people globally listen. We should too.

As landmark research published in 2017 and updated in 2020 stated:

“Acting now on dementia, intervention and care will vastly improve living and dying for individuals with dementia and their families, and in doing so, will transform the future for our society. Overall, about 80% of dementias are in people aged 75 years and older, while the number of people with this condition is expected to increase to 66 million by 2030 and 131 million by 2050, driven by rising numbers of older adults.” 2

Surely, more should realize these remarkable prevalence and cost statistics, including influential research designating hearing loss as the single most important modifiable risk factor, along with related medical conditions and lifestyle issues such as diabetes, hypertension, smoking, social isolation and depression. Evidence shows social isolation may be increase dementia risks, indicating the essential role of communication wellness in quality of life.

As this debilitating disease’s prevalence grows, it is crucial to learn about types of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as Signs & Symptoms to be more attuned. To facilitate AUTOmatic “Knowledge is Power” dialogue in practice and community, this educational synopsis, in print and digital forms, is quite useful.
Having discovered (or rediscovered…) The Lancet journals immensely important research and with baseline knowledge providing clinical cues, next week’s issue examines modifiable risk factors. 69% presents a noteworthy paradox, learn why then.
