My recent post Alzheimer's - hope, hype and the here and now contrasted the excitement around new Alzheimer’s drugs which may not be available for years with a technique that is available to help people with dementia right now by giving them access to personalised media that sparks memories.
Fascinating stuff! Thank you very much for this Rory, and Michael (whose name is so familiar from the days of watching Tomorrow's World in the 70s) more power to your respective elbows. All the work and effort put in by both of you is so admirable.
Thanks Gillian, for remembering T;s W fifty years ago! I probably sound wildly old and out of date … but I do feel that editorial standards have plummeted. Both the ‘mabs’ were hailed as ‘breakthroughs’ which is a word i didn’t permit to be used in more than a decade of editing science programmes on BBC and ITV. Michael.
If you sound wildly old and out of date, then so do I, as I agree entirely with you on the editorial standards of today. Something, which as an old employee of the Beeb, I find distressing.
Really interesting approach and it is easy. See that this approach may significantly improve the quality of life for the “patient” but also prolong the connections for their loved one. Is here an opportunity to help with this and or fund it?
