SUMMARY:APPTA Policy Rounds: Using Geographic Data for Policy Planning and Program Development in Canadian Communities Facing Accelerated Aging
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 21\, 2024 at 1:00-1:30 pm ET \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_owFwrmAiRPCItoBRjHtluA \nSpeaker: Dr. Catherine Bigonnesse\, PhD\, Canada Research Chair in Healthy Aging\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Political Science\, University of New Brunswick \nDescription:  An aging population is a very complex phenomenon that affects many sectors of our society simultaneously. However\, policies on aging are often developed in silos without a coherent vision of the interconnecting factors. To adequately address the needs of older adults\, geographic context must be incorporated to policy planning and program development. This webinar presents the newly established Atlantic Observatory on Aging dedicated to the monitoring of healthy aging indicators across communities in Atlantic Canada. Its purpose is to provide stakeholders and policymakers with a simple and easy tool to access data on the aging population anchored in geographic locations relevant for public policy planning and program development. Join us to discover what happens when geomatics and gerontology meet to make sense of big data about our aging population!

SUMMARY:APPTA Policy Rounds: Coordinated Aging in Place Services [CAPS] with integrated Primary Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Date: January 31\, 2024 at 1:00-1:30 pm ET \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5dpvYffBR8iDKrvpAZSOfQ \nSpeaker: Paula Pickard\, RN BN\, Regional Manager Chronic Disease\, Horizon Health Network \nDescription:  The ability of older adults to age safely at home is influenced by factors such as chronic conditions and frailty. Chronic conditions are persistent\, life-limiting health issues with no cure\, while frailty is not a normal aspect of aging and hinders daily functioning. These factors can result in decreased physical function\, heightened safety risks\, increased hospital admissions\, and diminished quality of life for older adults. To address these challenges\, there is a growing focus on community-based primary health care (PHC) services. This summary introduces recent research on an integrated PHC service called Coordinated Aging in Place Services (CAPS)\, designed to support community-dwelling older adults at risk of frailty or chronic conditions. The webinar discusses participant experiences\, theoretical conclusions\, practical recommendations\, clinical quality improvement findings\, and implications for program planners and policymakers in addressing the complex needs of aging individuals. \n

SUMMARY:AGE-WELL & APPTA Policy Rounds - Recruiting diverse older adults to research via an anti-oppression approach: A case study
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Paula Gardner\, PhD. Asper Chair in Communication; Professor Communication Studies and Media Arts\, McMaster University \nDescription:  Black\, indigenous and older adults of colour (BIPOC) are often reluctant to participate in research\, given a long history of abuse\, neglect and exploitation of BIPOC people in research and experiences with health care and technologies.  At the same time\, it is ethically imperative that BIPOC older adults are represented in research to ensure that data accurately reflects the diverse older Canadian adults and to ensure that research opportunities are equitably distributed.  This webinar discusses key barriers to entering into research for BIPOC older adults and key anti-oppression techniques researchers can take to make research a safer\, more hospitable and beneficial space for diverse older adults. The webinar includes policy recommendations to funding organizations to incorporate training for researchers in anti-oppressive approaches for successful research recruitment and engagement\, and the associated stakes. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YpU7tHB9TVuaW4h0pI9U5Q

SUMMARY:APPTA policy Rounds: Community-Led Digital Literacy Training for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Brian Detlor\, Professor & Area Chair (Information Systems)\, DeGroote School of Business\, McMaster University \nDate: July 26\, 2023 at 1:00-1:30 pm ET \nDescription:  Despite the growing predominance of older adults in Canadian society\, as a group\, older adults are still less likely to make use of digital devices. Older adults’ limited use of digital devices is troubling as the ability to access and use digital technologies\, such as social media and the Internet\, can overcome the negative effects of social isolation and loneliness\, which seniors in general are more likely to experience as they age. Due to financial concerns\, many older adults lack access to digital devices\, the Internet\, and digital literacy training opportunities. In response\, community organizations\, such as public libraries and social service agencies\, fill the gap by providing free or low-cost digital literacy training opportunities to marginalized community members\, including older adults. However\, how best to deliver such instruction is not well-understood. Neither are the challenges confronting such delivery\, as well as solutions to overcome such obstacles. This webinar reports on recent research findings that provide theoretical contributions and practical recommendations in this problem area. Organizational factors that foster or challenge digital literacy training initiatives are described\, as well as user considerations that impact community member uptake\, digital literacy skills development\, and digital literacy appreciation. A case study is also described of the utility of a community partnership approach between public libraries and seniors’ organizations to deliver digital literacy training to older adults. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uoCIb8rxQROSOUjWqIqDKw

SUMMARY:AGE-WELL & APPTA policy Rounds Title: Context-Aware Sensing for Aging-in-Place
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Qiyin Fang\, Canada Research Chair in Biophotonics and a Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics\, McMaster University \nDescription:  Using telemedical technologies for remote monitoring of patients is an active area for aging-in-place applications\, which will lead to improved care and prevent unnecessary use of unplanned resource intensive services.  While many data can be collected\, interpretation and analysis of their meaning requires establishing contexts autonomously\, especially for large datasets analyzed using machine learning models. The McMaster Smart Home for Aging-in-Place (SHAPE) is a multidisciplinary collaborative research platform designed to develop novel sensor and associated sensor network technologies specifically for aging-in-place applications.  In this talk\, we will give a brief overview of the research platform and several ongoing sensor development projects. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rCvxWH9DQfKEXENnqviY9g

SUMMARY:Policy Rounds - Active Aging: Empowering Older Adults with Interactive Technologies for Improved Balance and Aging-in-Place
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mark Evin\, Co-Founder and CEO\, Jintronix \nDescription:  Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians\, with 20-30% seniors experiencing one or more falls each year. There are many causes of falls\, but the most significant cause is due to poor strength and balance. Exercise protocols have been shown to reduce falls significantly\, but adherence levels remain low\, due to the boredom\, the discomfort\, and the repetitiveness of exercise. In this presentation\, we’ll explore how a downloadable interactive program for PC and iPad with enjoyable and responsive adult-friendly video-games\, can engage older adults in a long-term habit of evidence-based exercise. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iC_-yB5XTBiEAr0PRT9LRg

SUMMARY:AGE-WELL & APPTA policy Rounds - Preventing Caregiver Stress and Burn Out: CareLink Advantage Can Help!
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gord Turner\, Vice President of Sales and Operations for CareLink Advantage and Helpline \nDescription:  Caregiving is hard.  And most caregivers have no background or training prior to being thrust into the role.  Educating family about their loved ones condition and attending support group talks certainly help…but it does not change the enormity of their task\, it also does not prevent caregiver burnout.  And when burnout happens their loved one is moved out of the home that they so desperately want to stay in.  CareLink Advantage is a practical tool that allows the caregiver to do their job better and more easily.  It reduces stress and burnout.  It keeps the senior safer…and in their home where they want to be.  No one should ever have to go to bed wondering if their loved one is safe…or wandering out lost somewhere…or lying on the floor.  With CareLink Advantage no one has to worry!  CareLink Advantage is 100% covered in some provinces/care plans. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-F9k4FleTbC3541i5ZlCYw

SUMMARY:Policy Rounds Series - Concordance of Frailty among Community-Dwelling Older Couples: An Administrative Health Data Study
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Sandra Magalhaes\, Research Associate\, New Brunswick Institute for Research\, Data and Training (NB-IRDT)\, University of New Brunswick \nDescription: Frailty is a negative outcome associated with aging. For older couples\, the presence of frailty in one partner increases the risk of frailty in the other\, which has important implications for supporting community-dwelling older couples (CDOC) to reduce negative outcomes associated with frailty. From over 37\,000 CDOC we found that in 10% both members were hospitalized; 80% were low/no frailty risk and 2% as high/intermediate risk. Males were\, on average\, older than females in each frailty category. Due to the high proportion of CDOC with no/low risk\, we observed a small but positive association between continuous frailty risk scores. Whereas\, for frailty risk categories we found a 23% increased prevalence of high/intermediate frailty when their partner had a high/intermediate frailty. While frailty risk was not prevalent in our large population-based sample\, when CDOC are identified as having an intermediate or high risk of frailty\, their partners are also more likely to have high or intermediate frailty. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HNJg3cmhSwG1CXN-biRPfA

SUMMARY:Policy Rounds Webinar - Is innovation in the details: What have we learned from the Band-Frail Project
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Martin Sénéchal\, Associate Professor\, Faculty of Kinesiology\, University of New Brunswick \nDescription: The Band-Frail program incorporates exercise and education components for older adults living with both frailty and type 2 diabetes. We expect our participants will have improved physical function as well as glycemic (blood sugar) control following the program. In addition\, we expect the program to be cost effective and to have a long-term impact on other health outcomes\, including duration of hospitalization and number of hospital admissions. Some of the health outcomes our group is interested in including physical function\, glycemic control\, nutrition and quality of life. Additionally\, we are performing a cost-benefit analysis of the program\, in order to determine possible long-term cost savings for the province. Finally\, we will track participants’ results after 5 years and 10 years\, so we can assess the impact of the program on long-term health outcomes. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5iCIqibnSpyQxrt4K__OFQ

SUMMARY:Policy Round Series - Applying Rehabilitation Strategies to Population Health: Use of Technology to Support Self-Managment & Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Description: As people age and chronic conditions become more common\, rehabilitation strategies can be used to support function and mobility\, both to encourage self-management and prevent functional decline. Challenges associated with knowledge translation and health human resources in rehabilitation can create barriers to apply such strategies within existing health service systems. Technological innovations\, such as apps\, may be considered one strategy to support people to adopt rehabilitation strategies using a population-based approach. This webinar will discuss a project that has evolved from initial app development conceptualized to be applied by rehabilitation professionals in primary care\, to a population-based application. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OdDtWyI7SC2KJGQsKnc-TA

SUMMARY:Policy Round Webinar - A digital health tool for integrated care: interRAI Check Up Self-report
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Melissa Northwood\, Assistant Professor\, School of Nursing\, Faculty of Health Sciences\, McMaster University \nDescription: Older adults and caregivers face challenges with fragmentation in the health and social care systems. Digital health tools can provide older adults and care providers with information\, thus improving communication and care delivery. The interRAI Check Up is a self-report tool that obtains a person’s perspective on their health and well-being. When shared across electronic health records\, it lets older adults\, caregivers\, and health and social care providers share health information and create a shared care plan. In a series of studies\, Dr. Northwood and a team of researchers evaluated the implementation of the interRAI Check Up in community support services\, specialized geriatric services\, and primary care. This webinar will share the lessons learned in these studies and policy implications for health information management. \nDate: July 26\, 2022 at 1:00 pm ET \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sFId1-YSRqGWYNvDn3VvgQ

SUMMARY:Policy Rounds Series: Personal Assistance Robots - Will they improve the lives of aging adults?
DESCRIPTION:Description: While robots have worked in factories for many years\, they have yet to make an impact on our personal lives. The only exception is the over 10 million robotic vacuums\, such as the Roomba\, that are now helping people keep their homes clean. Are they only the beginning of a personal robot revolution? Based on large investments in robotics by companies such as Amazon\, Toyota and Hyundai and the thousands of people developing robots all over the world\, many people think the answer is “Yes!”. Even with that positive assessment\, the future of personal robots\, particularly robots for physically assisting aging adults\, is unclear. What should they look like? How smart should they be? What tasks should they perform? Can they be both strong and safe? How much will they cost? Will people accept them into their homes? The answers to these questions\, along with the most promising robotic technologies for physically assisting people\, will be discussed in this thought-provoking talk. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EW7v2JRrQ_OzhT_8WYCBZw

SUMMARY:AGE-WELL & APPTA policy Rounds: Community Based Digital Literacy – Meeting the Needs and Wants of Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Tara La Rose\, Associate Professor\, School of Social Work\, McMaster University \nDigital technology holds the potential to enhance accessibility\, improve social mobility and foster connection.  For older adults\, these positive potentials may be complicated by limited digital literacy and a lack of access to technologies.  Older adults require support to enhance access and attention to the diversity existing within Canada’s aging population. In this session we will discuss the preliminary findings from three studies\, which suggest the importance of regional/context specific programs for improving digital literacy and technological engagement if older adults are to reap the social rewards of digital technology. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cxYBZ54hQ6aomuBnF4Sf8g

SUMMARY:Policy Rounds: Including older people from disadvantaged groups in research practice: A compensation series
DESCRIPTION:Including older people from disadvantaged groups in research practice: A compensation series  \nDate: February 22\, 2022 at 2:00pm AT/1:00pm ET \nDescription: Research practice often overlooks larger questions about meaningful participation\, disadvantage\, and vulnerability. One notable example is how standard and historical practices of not-compensating particular groups\, or of restricting compensation as a form of control\, can contribute to inequality and sustain harmful practices against older people from disadvantaged groups. Dr. Grenier will discuss and share a series developed by AGE-WELL’s CC1 team on knowledge mobilization. This webinar is intended to start a conversation about the importance of compensation\, and serve as a resource for funders\, ethics committees\, universities\, and academic faculty and students carrying out research with older people in Canada. \nSpeaker: Amanda Grenier\, Professor and Norman and Honey Schipper Chair in Gerontological Social Work at the University of Toronto and Baycrest Hospital \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Community Connectors: Harnessing positive community energy to address social isolation and loneliness
DESCRIPTION:August 2021—Social isolation and loneliness among older adults has been described as a global epidemic by the US Surgeon general prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. It may impact one’s health and has been said to cost $1644 USD per person yearly in health care dollars. Systems are slowly realizing the importance of addressing this issue. To further guide decision makers\, three components can be considered when setting policies aimed at assisting community members and developing interventions: interventions should be adaptable to local context\, employ a community development approach and be productive in nature. The community of Fredericton\, New Brunswick plans to build on momentum it has generated and develop its own Community Connector program to complement the many wonderful initiatives already in place. \n\nSpeaker: Lyne Ouellet\, University of New Brunswick PhD candidate and Research Assistant at St. Thomas University\nWhen: August 18 @ 2:00-2:30 pm ADT / 1:00-1:30 pm ET\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:How attention to provincial long-term care policies can support or inhibit resident quality of life
DESCRIPTION:July 2021—Long-term care homes are complex settings in which people live and work. They are a place many call “home” in their later years yet they are highly-regulated environments with a strong emphasis on safety and security. This paradox emerges as a key message from our review of policies in British Columbia\, Alberta\, Ontario\, and Nova Scotia and has been further highlighted during the pandemic. This presentation will provide insights from the Seniors-Adding Life to Years project’s policy review and challenge decision makers to think about how policies support or inhibit resident quality of life. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Janice Keefe\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Family Studies and Gerontology Lena Isabel Jodrey Chair in Gerontology and Director\, Nova Scotia Centre on Aging Mount Saint Vincent University\nWhen: July 21 @ 2:00-2:30 pm ADT and 1:00-1:30 pm ET\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:The need for policy change to facilitate improved pain assessment and management in long-term care facilities
DESCRIPTION:May 2021—As many as 80% of long-term care residents may be suffering from persistent pain. Yet pain problems in this population are underrecognized\, underassessed and undermanaged. Underlying conditions causing pain may go undetected leading to increased suffering and\, often\, higher future health care costs. Current policies specify minimum standards for pain assessment that do not meet patients’ needs. This presentation will outline policy changes that are needed to improve pain assessment and management in long-term care facilities. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Thomas Hadjistavropoulos\, Research Chair in Aging and Health\, Director of the Centre on Aging and Health and Professor of Psychology at the University of Regina\, Saskatchewan\, Canada.\nWhen: May 27 @ 3:30 – 4:00 pm ADT or 2:30 – 3:00 pm ET\n\nRegister here \n
