The future of cardiovascular care will be steered by artificial intelligence and wearable mobile devices,according to articles published in The Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Every stage of patientcare will be enhanced by artificial intelligence, according to Joel Dudley, director of the Next GenerationHealthcare Institute at Mount Sinai. “AI will steer research, diagnosis and selection of therapy,” he said.“The next step will bring technologies to a clinical setting.”

In areas of patient health improvement and health-care delivery, digital health applies information toproduce solutions. These technologies have the potential to streamline research while saving money;however, delays in their implementation are often the result of concerns regarding data quality, patientsafety, and privacy.

Meanwhile, wearable mobile devices will continue to help manage heart problems. It takes a personalcommitment to a heart-healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise, medication, and self-monitoring to manageheart health. It is here that ever-increasing use of mobile devices and “wearables” have made 24-hourhealth monitoring a reality for so many–especially those with atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder.

The authors targeted AFib, in particular, which is hard to detect and difficult to manage. Office visits andshort-term monitoring only provide limited information on the presence of the disease, but mobile health(called mHealth) will offer a more complete picture that can help prevent strokes, control symptoms, andreduce hospitalizations. According to Dr. Michael McConnell, a Stanford clinical professor, the medicalcommunity has just begun to embrace the reality that health takes place outside the hospital and clinic.New technologies, he said, will transform cardiovascular disease prevention and management.

Countries in Southeast Asia celebrating the occasion include China,Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Chinese New Year is also celebrated inChinatowns and Asian homes around the world. It’s considered a time to honor deities andancestors and to be with family. The event always sparks a rush of travel that the New York Timeshas called,

2019 is the Year of the Pig and Each year is associated with one of 12 animals in the Chinesezodiac. Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally last 15 days, from the first day (during a newmoon) to the 15th day (next full moon). Each day holds a special significance that varies accordingto local traditions. But first, before the arrival of the new year, homes are thoroughly cleaned tosweep away ill fortune and to welcome good luck. On New Year’s Eve, there are family gatheringsto celebrate and enjoy lavish traditional feasts, and to greet the new year with fireworks at midnight.

In the days that follow, festive dance parades are held featuring colorful dragons or lions, ceremoniesare held to pay homage to deities and ancestors, children receivemoney in red envelopes, gifts are exchanged, extended familymembers visit each other, and there’s more traditional feasting.

The celebration culminates on the 15th day with the LanternFestival; on this night of the full moon, families mingle in thestreets carrying lighted lanterns, often creating a beautiful lightdisplay. –EarthSky.org

Dennis was born on December 31, 1944 in Fort Wayne, Indiana to Dorothy and George. Dennis was the oldestof two, he has one sister. Growing up his parents moved around a lot because his dad was a bomb tester. Theyresided in New Mexico and later moved to Las Vegas.

When he was in high school, Dennis would go visit his parents’ friends who were doctors every Saturday toobserve what they do day to day. He was so inspired that he wanted to become a doctor. After he graduatedfrom high school, his choice for college was University of Colorado because he wanted to learn how to ski.

After freshmen year, he got a scholarship and continued getting scholarships for working so hard in school.This helped his parents financially. Once Dennis was done with eight years of medical school, he got aninternship at the Children Hospital in Rheumatology, because they need more Pediatric Rheumatologists.Dennis loved working with children and it made him happier when some of the children, of three generationshe took care of still kept in touch with him. He did a lot of good things and made a difference in all of hispatients' lives.

Dennis retired two years ago, settling in Sacramento with his wife and 3 children. He described himself as alucky, compassionate and shy person. Since, he’s a sport car fan; his favorite life experience was meetingracers and got to drive one of the stock sport cars. He raced at Laguna Seca and won 3rd place.

His life philosophy is more of a pet peeve, he hates to see children being left behind and discouraged in lifeby their parents. Children should be encouraged to learn and grow. His life’s accomplishment is doingsomething he loves.

Dennis likes the routine and how staff at Carlton treats their residents. He likes the excellent service andseeing children with their grandparents makes him smile. Please help us in welcoming Dennis to CarltonSenior Living!

The number one brain fitness productin America’s senior communities

For those of you just learning about Dakim BrainFitness, here’s a little background.Created with the help of world-renowned scientists and physicians in the brain-

aging field, Dakim BrainFitness System is a unique, interactivecomputer-based system designed specifically for seniors. We

call its activities and exercises “SeniorCentric” because theyhave unique relevance to those of us who remember the days

when “dial-up” meant calling your friend on the phone.

Dakim Little MiraclesWhile medical research studies have shown that the kind

of ongoing cognitive stimulation provided by Dakim can reducethe risk of dementia by as much as 63%,* some of the results

we’ve been hearing about from senior livingproviders are delightfully surprising.

Martha gets her voice back.Take the story of Martha (we’ve changed her name for privacy).

She’d been living in a senior living community for several years when, about 12months ago, she stopped speaking. Her caregivers said she was only able to

mumble but even Martha could the Dakim BrainFitness System. And use it she did.Every day for a couple of weeks she would quietly “play” Dakim BrainFitness. One

day while completing a session that featured piano music, Martha turned to acaregiver named Beverly, who have been observing her, and said, “You know , Bev,

I wish I had learned to play the piano when I was a little girl.” Martha has beenspeaking ever since and continues to use Dakim BrainFitness.

which is extremely important because researchshows “the secret to successful aging

is ongoing mental stimulation.Ӡ

Henry’s Back in the GameThen there’s the story of Henry. As a result of having been recently diagnosed withearly state Alzheimer’s disease, he became depressed, gradually withdrawing from

activities of daily living at his senior living community. He wouldn’t even leave hisroom at mealtimes. The staff encouraged Henry to give

Dakim BrainFitness a try. Within two weeks, the staffnoticed a big improvement in Henry’s mood andattitude, which resulted in him regaining his self-

confidence as well as interest and desire to participatein other activities. At last report, Henry’s participation

in community life is just like other residents.

At Dakim, we will continue to ensure all Dakim brain games are appropriatelychallenging and entertaining. If you have any thoughts, feedback or anecdotes, wewould love to hear from you. Send an email to brainstorm@dakim.com or write at:
