Excited that @IOASFBAY has invited me to talk next Monday about better ways to talk to your #agingparents if you're concerned about #memoryloss, falls, driving, or other signs of decline! I'll be joined by @PSpencerScott. Join us! eventbrite.com/e/when-your-ag… #aging #geriatrics
Have finally gotten to try a smartwatch for fall detection. But, so far @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy active 2 watch is not detecting my falls (& I'm almost getting hurt here!). Can't say I'd recommend for #aging or emergencies.
Have you -- or someone you know -- been worried for declining #agingparents? If so, I wrote my new book, "When Your Aging Parent Needs Help: A Geriatrician's step-by-step guide" for YOU, and I'm celebrating its release TODAY! #aging #geriatrics #caregiving buff.ly/3p6Heqg
This week on BHWA, geriatrician Dr. Didyk @TheWrinkle2 explains Urinary #Incontinence in #Aging. Great article covering the #geriatrics approach, including imp causes to check for, what to know about meds, managing incontinence in #dementia, & more! buff.ly/33HUNow
Am VERY disappointed by this story. Pppl are out walking & exercising bc it's VITAL TO MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH, & esp imp in stressful times. Gyms are closed,few commutes. Instead of complaining, @drsanjaygupta shd lead an effort to promote safer outdoor movement during #covid19
"I still really get the impression people in many places aren't taking this seriously," @drsanjaygupta says on many San Francisco residents ignoring the shelter in place order to stay home. "I'm worried these numbers- they keep going up."
Yikes. Ok it is time (past time, probably) to really think about implications of #covid19 pandemic for our frail #aging adults. Everyone knows basics: social distancing, minimize travel, etc. My specific Qs: how will #hospice treat frail elders at home w #covid? #Geriatrics
Sexuality is important at all ages, but certain issues are common w #aging, esp if you are #caregiving for yr partner. So excited to share this new post by Dr. Didyk of @TheWrinkle2 on Sex & Caregiving (even if #alzheimers or other #dementia betterhealthwhileaging.net/navigating-sex… #geriatrics
Happy Valentine's day all! This week on the podcast we're covering Better Sex in Later Life, w Dr. Nicole Didyk of the #aging health site @TheWrinkle2 betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/b… I learned lots & you will too :) #geriatrics
This week for episode 100 (!) of the podcast: @drbillthomas returns to talk about what better #aging can be like, countering #Ageism & age segration, updates on Minka houses & inclusive communities, & much more. Don't miss it! betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/b… #geriatrics
So...can anyone recommend a good personal health record program? I am now running a Helping Older Parents membership & families need a place to keep the #health info of #agingparents...Must have web+iOs+android options. #healthtech
Geriatrician Roles & Value of #Geriatrics; report by @ucsfhwrc healthworkforce.ucsf.edu/geriatrician-r… We are too few & so shd focus on teaching & leveraging our expertise (which is why I have betterhealthwhileaging.net) #Aging
This week on podcast: @UCSFNurse #geriatrics Prof Meg Wallhagen explains why addressing #hearingloss is so important in #aging betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/e… See show notes for her amazing informative brochure to help reluctant ppl address this!
This week: learn how @UCSFHospitals is being an Age-Friendly Health System! @SERogersMD explains #Delirium Reduction, #Hipfracture co-management, helping #aging adults maintain mobility & independence, & more! betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/a… @UCSFGeriatrics @johnahartford #geriatrics
This week: Dr. Fanny Elahi of @UCSFmac explains white matter changes in the brain, cerebral small vessel disease, relation to vascular #dementia & more! betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/w… #aging #geriatrics #brainhealth
From @GeriTechBlog ► Smartwatches as Medical Alert Devices, a podcast with @drkernisan and @Morequalys' Richard Caro ► geritech.org/2019/01/smartw…
@chasedave I can't, it's the main medical center close to the assisted living facility where the patient lives. Sometimes the biggest players are the worst offenders!
Argh. Ordered a CT for a pt this week. No results faxed to me. Called radiology: they were faxed to my old practice fax of 6 years ago. This is nuts. My NPI has been assoc w my current fax since 2012, plus it's on the requisition. #healthit dysfunction! #healthcare
Wondering how your #agingparents might get help in the event of a fall? Richard Caro of @Morequalys talks w me about the #AppleWatch & other newer smartwatch-based medical alerts betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/s… I learned a lot from his review! #aging #geriatrics
This week on the podcast: @GeriSciDoc explains biology of #aging, his research on ketogenic diets & #memory, what extends healthspan, & much more! betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/b… Super interesting & amazing possibilities for #Geriatrics! @UCSFGeriatrics @BuckInstitute
Dr. Rebecca Sudore (@prepareforcare) spoke this week with Dr. Leslie Kernisan (@drkernisan) about how to make advance care planning easier with PREPARE for Your Care. Check out their Better Health While Aging Podcast here! betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/bhwa/e… … #geriatrics
