Same with favorite old songs, familiar smells or places, pet interactions, and even personal items that might stimulate a reaction #AlzChat

T1: Trust in science aside, the masses could use a good dose of skepticism about journalistic coverage of science, and about pseudo-science that abounds online. May be a sliver of benefit in this recent phenomenon of discrediting experts. #hcldr

T2: I'm optimistic about the generational ability to recognize political agendas embedded in every institution. I think solid science will still be respected while hype-science will remain an ongoing (but ineffective) foil to the truth. #hcldr

There is great tension between science and profit; and healthcare is the arena where the two collide every day. Science is often massaged in the name of greed so there will always be reason to mistrust scientific evidence in healthcare. #hcldr

Important step forward in identifying the pre-symptomatic stages of Alzheimer's. This pragmatic approach will facilitate research on early stage subjects and accelerate efforts to develop disease modifying therapies: prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Given the well documented harm and expense caused by poor patient compliance w/prescribed self-care, it seems that reimbursement for "routine compliance oversight" would be a win-win-win. What group could lead such a charge? #TelemedNow

For perspective, dementia is a severe stage of cognitive impairment and, depending on the cause of the dementia, usually follows a long period of milder symptoms. It is during the mildly symptomatic stages (and earlier) that planning for dementia care should begin #AlzChat

Not just stress, managing sleep and diet while staying physically and socially active are also important... #AlzChat

Diana_Sheridan 💙👏🏽💚 @emilyoliverdem Hilgos Foundation Agreed. It can very hard to get these conversations started. We often suggest starting with listing seemingly little details of things that help you feel comfortable and cared for - and from there bigger conversations can develop #AlzChat

End of life planning and care are important, but I hope we can get beyond the point where we equate dementia care with end of life care. Looking past a person's final years, when they can still feel and return joy, is heart-breakingly tragic. #AlzChat
