“…It is evident that one in eight baby boomers will be diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer's type once they are 65 years old. In 2016, the first baby boomers turned 70 years, and it is projected that by 2031 nearly one in two baby boomers more than the age of 80 years will be diagnosed (Bredfeldt, Rice, & Alecxih, 2015). Dementia of the Alzheimer's type is a disease that does not have any cure or prevention, so the focus of care should be to improve social interaction and thereby QoL, and this may be done through environmental design.…”

Objective: The objective of this review is to outline a comprehensive set of possible design interventions focusing on spatial and environmental design factors influencing positive social interaction, which is one of the key aspects of quality of life (QoL) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Methods: This systematic literature review synthesized research evidence from seven databases (after the year 2000) spanning medical and health literature, environmental psychology, architecture, interior design, and evidence-based design literature. Results: The key spatial design characteristics of the facilities shown to affect positive social interaction were as follows: (a) The Physical Environment and Setting; (b) Accessibility, Legibility, and Layout; (c) Social Environment and Network; and (d) Staff–Resident Ratio and Care Philosophy. Conclusion: Several critical spatial design features of the facilities were identified. Spatial design interventions could influence the design decisions for future care facilities and provide designers the guidelines that are generalizable regardless of geographic location of the LTCF.

“…Between now and 2050, more than 28 million baby boomers in the United States will develop Alzheimer’s according to a 2015 study conducted by The Lewin Group and presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. 4 The challenge this will pose is that it will become increasingly more difficult to provide information and support services to those who desperately need it.…”

Currently, there is not enough time or staff in the physician's office to provide education about Alzheimer's disease for newly diagnosed patients and their family members. The Alzheimer's Association Cleveland Area Chapter has implemented a novel approach for individuals to connect to helpful information about Alzheimer's disease and related dementias while at the physician's office. This project is being piloted at two memory assessment clinics of The Cleveland Clinic as a way to give assessment center staff the opportunity to connect families right away with the free support services available at the Association.

“…More than 28 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer's disease between now and midcentury, and the cost of caring for them will consume nearly 25 percent of Medicare spending in 2040. 1 If residual brain debris affected by sleep deprivation, as anticipated in many baby boomers, need to be routinely and completely cleaned up from the viewpoint of biomedical wellness nature; is there a household noninvasive measurement tool available as early warning sensors? This is what we try to answer by this preliminary study.…”

Proposed applications include computational multiple layers of Artificial Neural Network namely Deep Learning or also known in short as Artificial Intelligence. This is to develop, in the Least Mean Squares (LMS) sense, the corresponding Adaptive Wavelet Transform kernel having the most efficient compressive sensing magnetic fields with different firing rates of 50 Calcium ions per sec to 100 ions per sec and with different solenoid magnetic fields. Consequent development includes different orthogonal tiny current loops with iron cores outside the scalp. These devices are based on Faraday induction loops that convert the modulation of magnetic field to electromotive force driving currents in wireless EEG head mount for high-risk home-alone seniors (HAS). Regarding the clearance of brain debris, Maiken Nedergaard and Steven A. Goldman of the University of Rochester Medical Center reported in a review article of Scientific America 2 regarding the recent discovery of an internal plumbing system capable of removing soluble proteins and metabolites in the mouse brain during slow-wave sleep. We quote literally three paragraphs and three figures from this article as follows: "The human brain weighs only about three pounds, or roughly 2 percent of the average adult body mass. Yet its cells consume 20 to 25 percent of the body's total energy. In the process, inordinate amounts of potentially toxic protein wastes and biological debris are generated. Each day, the adult brain eliminates a quarter of an
