information at the right time for theirindividual issues For example anoverweight diabetic patient can

better manage hisher condition withconvenient 247 information abouthisher glucose nutrition or exerciselevel One can connect the cause andeffect of their lifestyle decisions to

their health and make better choices

Wearable technology can be a watch abracelet a shirt or even shoes that can tell you

something about your body Wearables canhelp you monitor how many steps you take

your heart rate or even the risk of a symptomflareup They are worn most of the time and

provide actionable health information Its likea smart phone that you wear

healthcare is the sameWearables in healthcare are analogous to theevolution of how people tell time We started

with the sundial and began the process offinding better easier ways to tell time and

establish standards for the telling of time Aclock or timepiece gives an individual the

ability to know the time without the need tocalculate where the earth is in its daily orbit

and making a timepiece wearable -transforming it into a watch - gives the wearera great simple way to keep track of the time

even with no knowledge of how time iscalculated Now we call all be on time for

workWearable technology simply attaches ascientific instrument to a person mostcommonly in a semi-permanent way

developing a mobile alert system for strokepatients Many stroke patients donrsquot have

smartphones so Healint decided theyrsquodshift their focus to a larger demographicndash

migraine sufferersldquoIt mimics how a doctorprescribes different medication to patients

to figure out what works Most othermigraine apps are not as comprehensive

We collect data thatrsquos action-driven so thatwe can help patients make the right

decisionsrdquo

App We LoveMigraine Buddy is free and combines bothclinical and data science approaches Mor

e than a simple diary to track and recordmigraines

Migraine is a condition that they getasked the most about and a lot of patients

have a history of not being able to tellexactly what happened They canrsquot answer

questions about whether or not certaintreatments helped them how many

migraines they had what they did or whatthey were doing beforerdquo explained Chew

Accelerating Research WhileHelping Migraineurs

Healint has conducted their 1st globalvirtual study of migraine with results -

interesting data and evidence among sleepduration weather changes and migraine

attacks They will be presenting at ARCH2015 (Asian Regional Conference for

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

have a history of not being able to tellexactly what happened They canrsquot answer

questions about whether or not certaintreatments helped them how many

migraines they had what they did or whatthey were doing beforerdquo explained Chew

Accelerating Research WhileHelping Migraineurs

interesting data and evidence among sleepduration weather changes and migraine

interesting data and evidence among sleepduration weather changes and migraine

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

information at the right time for theirindividual issues For example anoverweight diabetic patient can

better manage hisher condition withconvenient 247 information abouthisher glucose nutrition or exerciselevel One can connect the cause andeffect of their lifestyle decisions to

their health and make better choices

Wearable technology can be a watch abracelet a shirt or even shoes that can tell you

something about your body Wearables canhelp you monitor how many steps you take

your heart rate or even the risk of a symptomflareup They are worn most of the time and

provide actionable health information Its likea smart phone that you wear

like a watch A device like Fitbit orsimilar products from Withings andiHealth gives an individual a way to

keep track of exercise or heart rate orblood pressure in more precise ways

most specifically by allowing morefrequent and diverse collection of the

Your watch is wearable technologyTechnology is simply science applied to an

objective such as telling time and theevolution of wearable technology in

healthcare is the sameWearables in healthcare are analogous to theevolution of how people tell time We started

with the sundial and began the process offinding better easier ways to tell time and

establish standards for the telling of time Aclock or timepiece gives an individual the

ability to know the time without the need tocalculate where the earth is in its daily orbit

and making a timepiece wearable -transforming it into a watch - gives the wearera great simple way to keep track of the time

even with no knowledge of how time iscalculated Now we call all be on time for

workWearable technology simply attaches ascientific instrument to a person mostcommonly in a semi-permanent way

Stats In June 2013 the Pew Internet andAmerican Life project tackledcaregiving and found that adults whoare unpaid caregivers for a parent orchild use online and mobile healthtools considerably more than theaverage American but only 59 of connected caregivers findinternet tools helpful in giving care 52 said that online tools helped themdeal with the stress of being acaregiver Early 2014 Deloitte estimated around 10 million wearable gadgets would besold by the end of the year By September Juniper Researchestimate 27 million devices in 2017 Projections from experts says that wewill be be buying more than 100million wearable devices in 2017

like a watch A device like Fitbit orsimilar products from Withings andiHealth gives an individual a way to

keep track of exercise or heart rate orblood pressure in more precise ways

most specifically by allowing morefrequent and diverse collection of the

Your watch is wearable technologyTechnology is simply science applied to an

objective such as telling time and theevolution of wearable technology in

healthcare is the sameWearables in healthcare are analogous to theevolution of how people tell time We started

with the sundial and began the process offinding better easier ways to tell time and

establish standards for the telling of time Aclock or timepiece gives an individual the

ability to know the time without the need tocalculate where the earth is in its daily orbit

and making a timepiece wearable -transforming it into a watch - gives the wearera great simple way to keep track of the time

even with no knowledge of how time iscalculated Now we call all be on time for

workWearable technology simply attaches ascientific instrument to a person mostcommonly in a semi-permanent way

Stats In June 2013 the Pew Internet andAmerican Life project tackledcaregiving and found that adults whoare unpaid caregivers for a parent orchild use online and mobile healthtools considerably more than theaverage American but only 59 of connected caregivers findinternet tools helpful in giving care 52 said that online tools helped themdeal with the stress of being acaregiver Early 2014 Deloitte estimated around 10 million wearable gadgets would besold by the end of the year By September Juniper Researchestimate 27 million devices in 2017 Projections from experts says that wewill be be buying more than 100million wearable devices in 2017

How to talk to Your kids About

DementiaDementia is an overall term for diseases and

conditions characterized by a decline in memoryor other thinking skills that affects a

personrsquosability to perform everyday activitiesDementia is caused by damage tonerve cells in

the brain which are called neurons As a result ofthe damage neurons can no longer function

normally and may die This in turn can lead tochanges in onersquos memory behavior and ability to

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

Grandmaby Jessica Shepherd

Is a beautifully illustrated childrens picture booksabout dementia I recommend this story about

Oliver and his grandma told in his own words forreading with children aged four to eightMs

Shepherd does a wonderful jobwritting this book in a language that

children will understand discusses whatdementia is how having it changes people and

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

feelings and find new ways toenjoy spending time together

Katie amp Jazie are 10 year old twins book loversand future doctors and we have the honor of their

review of GrandmaThey were asked to read it and explain your

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

Grandma is a really interesting book byJessica Shepherd I enjoyed the book

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

means I did more research on Google andI learned more about Alzheimers disease

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

Grandmaby Jessica Shepherd

Is a beautifully illustrated childrens picture booksabout dementia I recommend this story about

Oliver and his grandma told in his own words forreading with children aged four to eightMs

Shepherd does a wonderful jobwritting this book in a language that

children will understand discusses whatdementia is how having it changes people and

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

feelings and find new ways toenjoy spending time together

Katie amp Jazie are 10 year old twins book loversand future doctors and we have the honor of their

review of GrandmaThey were asked to read it and explain your

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

Grandma is a really interesting book byJessica Shepherd I enjoyed the book

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

means I did more research on Google andI learned more about Alzheimers disease

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

like a watch A device like Fitbit orsimilar products from Withings andiHealth gives an individual a way to

keep track of exercise or heart rate orblood pressure in more precise ways

Your watch is wearable technologyTechnology is simply science applied to an

objective such as telling time and theevolution of wearable technology in

healthcare is the sameWearables in healthcare are analogous to theevolution of how people tell time We started

with the sundial and began the process offinding better easier ways to tell time and

establish standards for the telling of time Aclock or timepiece gives an individual the

ability to know the time without the need tocalculate where the earth is in its daily orbit

and making a timepiece wearable -transforming it into a watch - gives the wearera great simple way to keep track of the time

even with no knowledge of how time iscalculated Now we call all be on time for

workWearable technology simply attaches ascientific instrument to a person mostcommonly in a semi-permanent way

Stats In June 2013 the Pew Internet andAmerican Life project tackledcaregiving and found that adults whoare unpaid caregivers for a parent orchild use online and mobile healthtools considerably more than theaverage American but only 59 of connected caregivers findinternet tools helpful in giving care 52 said that online tools helped themdeal with the stress of being acaregiver Early 2014 Deloitte estimated around 10 million wearable gadgets would besold by the end of the year By September Juniper Researchestimate 27 million devices in 2017 Projections from experts says that wewill be be buying more than 100million wearable devices in 2017

interesting data and evidence among sleepduration weather changes and migraine

How to talk to Your kids About

DementiaDementia is an overall term for diseases and

conditions characterized by a decline in memoryor other thinking skills that affects a

personrsquosability to perform everyday activitiesDementia is caused by damage tonerve cells in

the brain which are called neurons As a result ofthe damage neurons can no longer function

normally and may die This in turn can lead tochanges in onersquos memory behavior and ability to

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

Grandmaby Jessica Shepherd

Is a beautifully illustrated childrens picture booksabout dementia I recommend this story about

Oliver and his grandma told in his own words forreading with children aged four to eightMs

Shepherd does a wonderful jobwritting this book in a language that

children will understand discusses whatdementia is how having it changes people and

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

feelings and find new ways toenjoy spending time together

Katie amp Jazie are 10 year old twins book loversand future doctors and we have the honor of their

review of GrandmaThey were asked to read it and explain your

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

Grandma is a really interesting book byJessica Shepherd I enjoyed the book

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

means I did more research on Google andI learned more about Alzheimers disease

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

How to talk to Your kids About

DementiaDementia is an overall term for diseases and

conditions characterized by a decline in memoryor other thinking skills that affects a

personrsquosability to perform everyday activitiesDementia is caused by damage tonerve cells in

the brain which are called neurons As a result ofthe damage neurons can no longer function

normally and may die This in turn can lead tochanges in onersquos memory behavior and ability to

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

Grandmaby Jessica Shepherd

Is a beautifully illustrated childrens picture booksabout dementia I recommend this story about

Oliver and his grandma told in his own words forreading with children aged four to eightMs

Shepherd does a wonderful jobwritting this book in a language that

children will understand discusses whatdementia is how having it changes people and

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

feelings and find new ways toenjoy spending time together

Katie amp Jazie are 10 year old twins book loversand future doctors and we have the honor of their

review of GrandmaThey were asked to read it and explain your

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

Grandma is a really interesting book byJessica Shepherd I enjoyed the book

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

means I did more research on Google andI learned more about Alzheimers disease

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

Migraine Buddywwwmigrainebuddycom

Migraine Buddy is an advanced tracking andreporting app designed to track your

migraine syndromes and provide objectiverecords for you and your doctor to create acustomized treatment plan App helps you

identify the triggers and lifestyle factors soyou can take preventive measures to

improve your condition

Their goal

To help patients and doctors do a better jobof collaborating on migraine care

Following its recent launch MigraineBuddy has quickly become the number one

migraine application on Google Play

We chatted with the pregnant co-founder ofHealint Veronica Chew months ago who

told us that the inspiration for the appactually came from the discussions their

team had with several leading neurologistsTheir previous big project had been

developing a mobile alert system for strokepatients Many stroke patients donrsquot have

smartphones so Healint decided theyrsquodshift their focus to a larger demographicndash

migraine sufferersldquoIt mimics how a doctorprescribes different medication to patients

to figure out what works Most othermigraine apps are not as comprehensive

We collect data thatrsquos action-driven so thatwe can help patients make the right

decisionsrdquo

App We LoveMigraine Buddy is free and combines bothclinical and data science approaches Mor

e than a simple diary to track and recordmigraines

Migraine is a condition that they getasked the most about and a lot of patients

have a history of not being able to tellexactly what happened They canrsquot answer

questions about whether or not certaintreatments helped them how many

migraines they had what they did or whatthey were doing beforerdquo explained Chew

Accelerating Research WhileHelping Migraineurs

Healint has conducted their 1st globalvirtual study of migraine with results -

interesting data and evidence among sleepduration weather changes and migraine

attacks They will be presenting at ARCH2015 (Asian Regional Conference for

Headache) in January 2015 in Chiang MaiThaiumlland

What Are The Numbers

- Migraine is a chronic conditioncharacterized by severe headaches

- It affects nearly 15 of the population- That almost 1 billion people worldwide

- Half of migraine sufferers have their firstattack before the age of 12

- The World Health Organization ranksmigraine in the top 20 of the worldrsquos most

disabling medical illnessesThe iOS version will be available for

iPhone users early 2015For any other information about MigraineBuddy visit migrainebuddycom or email

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

young ones See their unedited review

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

Oliver and his grandma told in his own words forreading with children aged four to eightMs

children will understand discusses whatdementia is how having it changes people and

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

feelings and find new ways toenjoy spending time together

review of GrandmaThey were asked to read it and explain your

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

conditions characterized by a decline in memoryor other thinking skills that affects a

personrsquosability to perform everyday activitiesDementia is caused by damage tonerve cells in

the brain which are called neurons As a result ofthe damage neurons can no longer function

normally and may die This in turn can lead tochanges in onersquos memory behavior and ability to

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

Grandmaby Jessica Shepherd

Is a beautifully illustrated childrens picture booksabout dementia I recommend this story about

Oliver and his grandma told in his own words forreading with children aged four to eightMs

Shepherd does a wonderful jobwritting this book in a language that

children will understand discusses whatdementia is how having it changes people and

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

feelings and find new ways toenjoy spending time together

Katie amp Jazie are 10 year old twins book loversand future doctors and we have the honor of their

review of GrandmaThey were asked to read it and explain your

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

Grandma is a really interesting book byJessica Shepherd I enjoyed the book

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

means I did more research on Google andI learned more about Alzheimers disease

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

Oliver and his grandma told in his own words forreading with children aged four to eightMs

Shepherd does a wonderful jobwritting this book in a language that

children will understand discusses whatdementia is how having it changes people and

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their

feelings and find new ways toenjoy spending time together

review of GrandmaThey were asked to read it and explain your

thoughts to their 4 year old sister and cousin Weasked them to be brief not to overwhelm the

young ones See their unedited review

Katie Erowele10 year reviewer

Grandma is a really interesting book byJessica Shepherd I enjoyed the book

because it was very educational I learnedabout dementia and what it means I was

able to teach my litter sister and mycousins I think my Grandpa has dementiaBook has great artwork It is a nice sweet

childrens story book that explains whathappens grandparents amp older people

startto lose their memory

Jazie Erowele10 year reviewer

The book Grandma helped meunderstand what dementia

Its scary to know that people can losetheir memory as they get older There isno cure for it I can now explain to my 4

year old sister and my cousins what itmeans too

conditions characterized by a decline in memoryor other thinking skills that affects a

personrsquosability to perform everyday activitiesDementia is caused by damage tonerve cells in

the brain which are called neurons As a result ofthe damage neurons can no longer function

normally and may die This in turn can lead tochanges in onersquos memory behavior and ability to

think clearly In Alzheimerrsquos diseasethe damage to and death of neurons

eventually impair onersquos ability to carry out basicbodily functions such

as walking and swallowing People in the finalstages of the disease are bed-bound and require

around-theclock careAlzheimerrsquosdisease isthe most common type

of dementia and is ultimately fatal

When dementia hits it can be hard for kids tounderstand why their grandparent is changing -not acting the same forgetting names etc It is

also hard for parents who are sandwiched in careIt can heart breaking

The best way solution Is to explain whatshappending to the kids Be homest and use the

opportunity to educate the kidsThe book

what you can do to help a person with dementiaIt is written to help children talk about their
