We next provide a synthesis of future challenges and considerations in the development and application of healthcare robots. We organize these considerations using a socio-ecological perspective and discuss considerations at the individual, care partner, community healthcare, and healthcare policy levels.Recent findings: Older adults are the fastest growing segment of the US population. Age-related changes and challenges can present difficulties, for older adults want to age healthily and maintain independence. Technology, specifically healthcare robots, has potential to provide health supports to older adults. These supports span widely across the physical, cognitive, and social aspects of healthy aging.Summary: Our review suggests that while healthcare robotics has potential to revolutionize the way in which older adults manage their health, there are many challenges such as clinical effectiveness, technology acceptance, health informatics, and healthcare policy and ethics. Addressing these challenges at all levels of the healthcare system will help ensure that healthcare robotics promote healthy aging and are applied safely, effectively, and reliably.","PeriodicalId":38089,"journal":{"name":"Current Geriatrics Reports","volume":"9 2","pages":"82-89"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7223616/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37958546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insomnia is associated with socioeconomic status, racial and ethnic classification, family relationships, medical and mental health disorders, cognitive function, and dementia. Although one-fifth of older adults are still prescribed sleep medications, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is the first line treatment for insomnia, resulting in short-term and long-term benefits.Summary: To manage insomnia safely and effectively, healthcare providers need to consistently assess for insomnia during baseline and annual assessments, evaluate medical and social factors associated with insomnia, minimize the use of sleep medications, and provide referrals to and/or collaborate with providers who perform cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Insomnia screening is important as it facilitates early intervention with behavioral management, reduces the potential for pharmacological management, which increases fall risk in older adults, and enables further assessment and early identification of outcomes such as cognitive impairment.","PeriodicalId":38089,"journal":{"name":"Current Geriatrics Reports","volume":"8 4","pages":"271-290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s13670-019-00300-x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38705591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impaired FC results in several important negative outcomes including loss of independence and increased victimization and abuse. The goal of this review is to synthesize current knowledge of the assessment and intervention of impaired financial capacity in order to propose its further development in the context of technological advancements.Recent findings: Current methods of assessing FC are based on conceptual foundations that include judgment, procedural, and other pragmatic skills. The neurocognitive correlates of FC include basic arithmetic skills, attention, and visual memory. These cognitive domains are presently assessed through clinical and neuropsychological evaluation as well as instruments specifically designed to assess financial capacity. Despite having a firm conceptual and neurocognitive foundation, current assessment methods of FC are limited by their ability to be flexible, individualizable, or scalable.Summary: Computer and software technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the internet of things are exciting tools to achieve the ultimate goal of developing measures that allow patients to maintain or support maximal independence in financial functioning. These tools will allow for contemporaneous and ecologically valid assessment and would be useful to legal professionals and clinicians in determinations of financial competency and capacity. Moreover, interventions that provide safety and monitoring while allowing patients maximal autonomy of preserved financial abilities are needed.","PeriodicalId":38089,"journal":{"name":"Current Geriatrics Reports","volume":"8 4","pages":"257-264"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s13670-019-00304-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38733521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Persons with dementia bring unique healthcare challenges due to the manifestation of behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with the disease. The lack of geriatric clinicians as well as a properly trained non-geriatric specialist workforce capable of addressing the symptoms persons with dementia exacerbate the challenge of providing effective care. Pharmacological interventions are contraindicated for treatment of most behavioral psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services now requires that nonpharmacological interventions be used as a first-line treatment. It has not been determined what nonpharmacological intervention for BPSD are most effective and what the infrastructure would entail for such interventions for PWD living at home.Purpose of review: The purpose of this study is to examine the literature focusing on interventions aimed towards managing persons' symptoms of dementia living in home-based settings. A scoping review examining the literature published on this topic over the last three years was conducted.Recent findings: One thousand twenty four articles were found, of which nine met inclusion criteria. Five articles used occupational based therapy, two used exercise therapy and one article was found utilizing aromatherapy and music therapy.","PeriodicalId":38089,"journal":{"name":"Current Geriatrics Reports","volume":"8 4","pages":"291-301"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s13670-019-00307-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25341565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
