Excited that @IOASFBAY has invited me to talk next Monday about better ways to talk to your #agingparents if you're concerned about #memoryloss, falls, driving, or other signs of decline! I'll be joined by @PSpencerScott. Join us! eventbrite.com/e/when-your-ag… #aging #geriatrics

Have finally gotten to try a smartwatch for fall detection. But, so far @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy active 2 watch is not detecting my falls (& I'm almost getting hurt here!). Can't say I'd recommend for #aging or emergencies.

Am VERY disappointed by this story. Pppl are out walking & exercising bc it's VITAL TO MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH, & esp imp in stressful times. Gyms are closed,few commutes. Instead of complaining, @drsanjaygupta shd lead an effort to promote safer outdoor movement during #covid19

"I still really get the impression people in many places aren't taking this seriously," @drsanjaygupta says on many San Francisco residents ignoring the shelter in place order to stay home. "I'm worried these numbers- they keep going up."

Yikes. Ok it is time (past time, probably) to really think about implications of #covid19 pandemic for our frail #aging adults. Everyone knows basics: social distancing, minimize travel, etc. My specific Qs: how will #hospice treat frail elders at home w #covid? #Geriatrics

So...can anyone recommend a good personal health record program? I am now running a Helping Older Parents membership & families need a place to keep the #health info of #agingparents...Must have web+iOs+android options. #healthtech


Geriatrician Roles & Value of #Geriatrics; report by @ucsfhwrc healthworkforce.ucsf.edu/geriatrician-r… We are too few & so shd focus on teaching & leveraging our expertise (which is why I have betterhealthwhileaging.net) #Aging


Argh. Ordered a CT for a pt this week. No results faxed to me. Called radiology: they were faxed to my old practice fax of 6 years ago. This is nuts. My NPI has been assoc w my current fax since 2012, plus it's on the requisition. #healthit dysfunction! #healthcare

Interesting commentary by @MurielGillick on the clinical use of frailty in Europe blog.drmurielgillick.com/2018/10/frailt… Agree it's useful in #geriatrics & to help #aging ppl's #healthcare. Wonder how they discuss frailty levels w pts and families tho.
