Addressing Patient Burnout With Digital Transformation
The following is a guest article by Jim Tyrrell, Vice President of Enterprise Product Management at TNS
COVID-19 didn’t spawn patient dissatisfaction, but the pandemic did accelerate it. In 2022, only 12% of US adults surveyed said healthcare was handled ‘extremely’ or ‘very’ well.
Patient care frustration can pose very real financial risks for healthcare brands: satisfied patients are 28% less likely to switch providers, highlighting the importance of addressing their needs to improve patient retention. Post-pandemic patient frustration can be traced to multiple factors, chief among them the blunt reality that A...

The Intellectual Property Journey Of Patients ’ Digital Health Data
If you have used or are using a digital health device or service to gain insights about your own health, you have a digital health data trail. Whether it’s your smartwatch or that genetic sequencing you took to know about your risks for certain ailments, your personal data has been logged digitally. The latter is often used by companies providing digital health services to fine-tune their products and generate intellectual property (IP).
As users of such services, it becomes ever important to understand (or at least try to) where that data ends up and consider who should own the resulting IP. We decided to follow the ...

Does Amyloid-β Aggregation Cause Broad Disruption of Proteostasis?
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/08/does-amyloid-%ce%b2-aggregation-cause-broad-disruption-of-proteostasis/
Researchers here speculate on the ability of insoluble amyloid-β aggregates to be broadly disruptive of the solubility of many other proteins, and thus disruptive to cell and tissue function. Is this important in aging? The evidence here shows the existence of the mechanism in a lower species, but that doesn't ...

Stimulating the Olfactory System as a Way to Improve Late Life Cognitive Function
The research noted here adds to evidence for the lack of use of the senses to contribute to age-related declines in cognitive function: a sort of "use it or lose it" proposition for the brain that becomes especially pronounced in later life. This effect is better studied in the context of age-related deafness, given the sizable amount of data on hearing aid use. Here, however, researchers focus on the sense of smell, and find that cognitive function can be improved by stimulation via scents.
