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.

One in four cowboys was Black, despite the stories told in popular books and mov-ies.In fact, it's believed that the real “Lone Ranger” was inspired by an African American mannamed Bass Reeves. Reeves had been born a slave but escaped West during the CivilWar where he lived in what was then known as Indian Territory. He eventually became aDeputy U.S. Marshal, was a master of disguise, an expert marksman, had a Native Ameri-can companion, and rode a silver horse. His story was not unique however.

In the 19th century, the Wild West drew enslaved Blacks with the hope of freedom andwages. When the Civil War ended, freedmen came West with the hope of a better lifewhere the demand for skilled labor was high. These African Americans made up at least aquarter of the legendary cowboys who lived dangerous lives facing weather, rattlesnakes,and outlaws while they slept under the stars driving cattle herds to market.While there was little formal segregation in frontier towns and a great deal of personal free-dom, Black cowboys were often expected to do more of the work and the roughest jobscompared to their white counterparts. Loyalty did develop between the cowboys on a drive,but the Black cowboys were typically responsible for breaking the horses and being thefirst ones to cross flooded streams during cattle drives. In fact, it is believed that the term“cowboy” originated as a derogatory term used to describe Black “cowhands.”

The first licensed African American Female pilot was named Bessie Coleman.Born in Atlanta, Texas in 1892, Bessie Coleman grew up in a world of harsh poverty, dis-crimination and segregation. She moved to Chicago at 23 to seek her fortune, but foundlittle opportunity there as well. Wild tales of flying exploits from returning WWI soldiers firstinspired her to explore aviation, but she faced a double stigma in that dream being bothAfrican American and a woman.She set her sights on France in order to reach her dreams and began studying French. In1920, Coleman crossed the ocean with all of her savings and the financial support of Rob-ert Abbott, one of the first African American millionaires. Over the next seven months, shelearned to fly and in June of 1921, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale awarded heran international pilot's license. Wildly celebrated upon her return to the United States, re-porters turned out in droves to greet her.Coleman performed at numerous airshows over the next five years, performing heart thrill-ing stunts, encouraging other African Americans to pursue flying, and refusing to performwhere Blacks were not admitted. When she tragically died in a plane accident in 1926, fa-mous writer and equal rights advocate Ida B. Wells presided over her funeral. An editorialin the "Dallas Express" stated, "There is reason to believe that the general public did notcompletely sense the size of her contribution to the achievements of the race as such."

February is Black History Month!

Dear Residents, Families, Friends and Staff,We have received the results of the Resident Surveys.  I am happy to say overall they were good.  There are some concerns and issues that you have broughtto our attention and the team here will work on an action plan to address theseconcerns.  We may want to meet with the residents to get more feedback. Ifthis becomes the case, we will hold some resident focus groups.  I will makesure you are aware of the time and place these focus groups will take place inadvance.  You will find a copy of these results in your internal mailbox.

I hope you all have had a chance to meet our new Chef, Kirk Larsen.  He startedwith us full-time last month.  It's going to take him a few months to get up tofull speed, but give him time and I believe you will love what he brings to theCarlton.  Last week he prepared his first Candle Light Dinner in Memory Careand the feedback was fantastic.  I received many texts and calls letting meknow how wonderful dinner was.

I am sure you have heard how bad the flu is again this year.  I am remindingyou that you must wash and sanitize your hands many times in a day.  This isthe best way to prevent catching or spreading this terrible flu.  Please remem-ber if you have a cough, running nose or fever let the staff know you’re notfeeling well and stay in your apartment until your symptoms are gone.  Also, ifyou are a visitor and have these symptoms please don't visit in the communityuntil you are symptom free.  We still have about 8-10 weeks until the fluseason is over.  Let’s do our best to all stay healthy.

I wish all of you a wonderful month of love.  Don't forget Valentine's Day is onThursday the 14th.  Take the time to tell your loved ones how much they meanto you and how much you love them.  Sure, you can tell them any day of theyear, but why not make it a little special on Valentine's Day.  To all of you here,I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day, may your life always be filled with love andhappiness.

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:
