Memory Fitness Exercises and Memory Assessment Tools
Researchers suggest that over half of the Alzheimer's cases go undetected through the early mild cognitive impairment stages. This is costing America and the families of Alzheimer's disease billions of dollars each year as well as tragic loss of quality living.
This is tragic and doesn't have to continue. Healthy individuals can easily test their memories, and over time create a record of their brain's ability to form recent memories - successfully recalling them when tested. It turns out that the brain is our most resilient organ - and it has an almost endless capacity for learning. But, if you don't use it - you'll lose it!

Dr. Ashford presents practical memory testing as an Alzheimer's prevention tool.
With the FDA approved drug treatments being most effective at slowing the disease process - in the mild cognitive impairment stages of the Alzheimer's - isn't it essential that individual's establish their normal memory fitness and watch for any reduction in their ability to form recent memories?
This video will introduce you to the memory fitness testing center - where you can test your memory fitness for free - or gain your personal record account for $10/year; the test shown here is also similar to the personal memory fitness test used in the Alzheimer's LifePlan Membership accounts ($50/one time) where your vital signs, prevention program objectives, memory fitness testing results, and participation in online community activities are recorded.
The Role of Prevention Is Defined
Dr. Ashford, holds the unique position of understanding the memory fitness of individuals, and how the early stages of Alzheimer's disease effect the memory fitness - prior to the mild cognitive impairment stages develop.
His concept and hope is that individuals can maintain a record of their memory fitness, establishing a baseline of their "normal" ability to form recent memories - and monitor this memory fitness level for any reduction in their learning capacity.
Meeting Dr. Ted Langley and Taking Dr. Ashford's Testing Platform To the Public
In 2000, I helped produce the live satellite coverage of the WYSIWYG Film festival, from San Francisco. Working on the crew was a very bright individual lending a hand in building the custom lighting system I had designed. This individual turned out to be Dr. Ted Langley, PhD in Neurophysiology. Ted overheard me talking about the Internet Broadcasting Network and several of the online web page networks I manage. He asked for an audience and when we got together, he introduced me to his partner, Henry Bowles, together the principals of Bowles-Langley Technology.
In our first meeting, Ted and Henry showed me the Alertness Testing device that they had received a patent on. They wanted to review how testing people's alertness and/or ability to operate heavy equipment or work long shifts could be monitored through an online service - which is one of the strong technologies of the Internet Broadcasting Association. I really felt that the testing could be conducted over the Internet, but I felt it would be a "hard" sell and probably not offer a real advantage over on-site computer based testing centers.
In discussion of their basic testing technology, they mentioned that they had developed an effective short-term memory and learning performance testing platform with Dr. J. Wesson Ashford - and they thought that test could be an effective screening platform for mild cognitive impairment - the early signature of Alzheimer's disease.
Ted Langley, PhD (left) and Henry Bowles from Bowles-Langley Technology
Under the direction of Henry Bowles, the group has come up with some innovative ways to evaluate shift worker's alertness, or rate the ability of an individual to function while on the job. This is very valuable in security, defense, and dangerous equipment operations. When you look at the alertness testing apparatus - it is an apparent solution - looking for an application.
In one of our early meetings, Ted and Henry showed me a computer based short-term memory and learning capacity test. That test has changed my life. Seated at my computer, within a minute, I was captivated and drawn into a visual image matching game - then it was over. I scored 65%, because I didn't follow instructions.
I took the test again. Wait! Did I see that image in the last test or this one? Whew! I scored 100%. Then Ted asked me to take the test again - only this time we would throttle up the number of images from 26 to 40! After taking the test a half a dozen times, Ted and Henry then showed me the "My History" area - and there is was, my baseline record of memory fitness. Neat! Simple. But, I didn't see how it could be an industry.
Enter Dr. Ashford.....
Technology has a way of evolving all by itself - but, technology in the hands of those who need it to evolve - moves it in new and accelerated directions. Ted and Henry collaborated with Dr. Wesson Ashford, MD, Ph.D. Dr. Ashford has a long history with memory testing and perhaps more one-on-one experience with patients suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease then most memory assessment specialists.
The trio made significant improvements to the methodology of testing, results compilation, storage and reporting of the original BLT test. The results - the BLT/A Short-Term memory and learning performance test platform.
Enter Mr. Peck.....
Some time went by and the iBHEALTH.net SVP of Business Development, Ron C. Peck made a presentation to me regarding the current status of doctors using the Internet for electronic medical records (EMR) and how one of our network sponsors, NovaSoft, had successfully developed a HIPAA compliant electronic medical record management service (online) for the medical industry - could this not be applied to the BLT-A Short-term memory and learning performance testing platform? The general consensus was that it could - and work was begun on the programming required for such a system. Presently, the clinical treatment support and networked research project short-term meaning and performance tracking services are available to the research/care-giving communities.
Enter Mr. Tim Galligan..... By then we had all ready built an online BLT/A testing platform as a subscription service. Tim Galligan, and excellent webmaster and Cognitive Engineer, developed the specifications of a short term memory and learning performance center that could serve the population. The test was constructed from day one to be the "first-to-market", meaning this version wasn't scientific but the foundation of the testing system could be expanded and customized to meet the needs of researchers who would join us later.
Enter Mr. Geoffrey Kennedy.....
Shortly after Tim Galligan had programmed the population version of the testing center, it became apparent the entire platform needed tutorials, public information and reference materials - to aid in the promotion of memory testing. Mr. Geoffrey Kennedy, was placed in charge of making the original Memory Fitness Testing Center spaces. Geoffrey has also taken over re-programming of all the clinical/professional versions of the test which must be on a JAVA platform and maintain high security and reliability to meet HIPAA regulations.
Calling Upon a Founding Sponsor, Re-Enter Mr. Mason Warner....
Back in 1999, when the Internet Broadcasting Association -iBA, was producing NAB 2000 and IBC 2000 Global Internet Broadcasting Demonstrations - Novasoft Systems donated several thousand dollars worth of server space and some web streaming capacity. Mason Warner, the Founder of Novasoft had shown me robust database enterprise backrooms that he had built and operated for clients. One of these was a network that connected a series of medical offices and occupational medicine clinics together. As, the test team at BLT provided specification for the population based testing platform - Novasoft provided code security and some architectural guidelines - resulting in the memory test results being compatible with all of the Novasoft data management programs. In short form - this made the test platform secure, very robust and scalable - meaning it could handle a small number of participants and quickly grow to handling larger groups on demand.
The testing platform was also constructed to fit into the iBHealth/Novasoft Electronic Medical Record Management system - the thought being that clinics and doctors could eventually integrate the Personal Memory Fitness/Baseline Record in with the patient's HIPAA compliant medical record management service - both being online services. So we looked at the potentials of integration - basically creating the potential for an Internet Broadcasting Network that would be dedicated to supporting individuals in the pursuit of testing their memory fitness as well as providing clinical treatment support functions.
From Internet Broadcasting to Memory Fitness.....
What started out being a an experiment in Internet Broadcasting and e-commerce has turned into something quite unique. The Trustees of the iBA and the sponsors who have made the End Alzheimer's 2012 Task Force a reality - extend an invitation to all of the medical community who can use the community, communication, business administration and research/treatment support functions made possible by this enterprise. At the end of this three year process - everyone involved is now anxious to see and hear the reaction of the population and the medical/research communities. A network, dedicated to supporting the population's personal self-healing endeavor - and integration of the doctor's and care-givers support to the individual - is really something of great potential. The same network has extreme potentials to connect doctors with their patients and the research communities. The electronic medical record management and the individual memory testing and baseline record management systems alone can streamline and revolutionize the way doctors and their staff deliver higher levels of care with reduced operational expenses. All of this work has been situated within the Alzheimer's LifePlan and represents a collective enterprise effort, the sponsors, affiliates and ultimately the members of the population that visit the spaces will benefit, as public awareness and professional standards are improved. You are welcome to be an observer, participant, sponsor, leader - this is a network of common grounds. We believe most disease can be prevented and promote that to the populations. We also believe that talented genius is hard at work to remove those areas of mystery that still surround disease. We are proud and happy to be one service that can appraise the individual's memory fitness, present baseline and points of reference for that individual's care givers to monitor, and to the best of our abilities, end disease where ever possible.
Mase Warner masterminded and oversees operations of the network's Electronic Medical Record Management Program....
How Memory Disorder, Memory Testing can and Alzheimer's Detection Work Today?
The value of being in a program, like the one presented above, is that over time a record of your normal ability to form recent memories can be established. The average performance level can become your "baseline" of normal memory performance. Any reduction in your ability to form short term memory suggests there could be a serious problem. If repeatedly score lower than your normal, you should consult your doctor. It isn't necessarily Alzheimer's disease - as memory loss can be caused by a wide range of things. But reduction of memory fitness is a serious thing and not to be ignored.
Your Introduction To Memory Fitness Testing
The primary goals of the Alzheimer's LifePlan include an individual's personal memory fitness monitoring. The operations can increase public awareness regarding memory, memory disorders and the vital role memory testing plays in the early diagnosis of serious disorders or disease. These activities all can play a role in an individual's personal quest to live a healthy, disease free life. They also add the strength of community and collaboration to the industry and professionals who have built the memory testing industry and now offer services to the medical/care giving environments.
The visitor will find direct connection with the leaders of a dynamic community. It is inevitable that memory fitness monitoring will become a standard if not required component of the average person's medical record. There is no longer a question about the importance of early cognitive function decrements and/or the reduction in short-term memory and learning performance capacities that occur - prior to more severe mental/physical disorders. As doctors become more and more familiar with the available testing procedures - some inexpensive and accessible to the online public - they should rely on these valuable tools in making assessment or screening for early signs of mild cognitive impairment.
It is now known that reductions in a person's ability to learn and remember recent events - that is the short-term memory and learning performance capacity - occur before most ailments. Indeed, fatigue and disruptive body chemistry shifts can cause them also. In the case of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease - mild cognitive impairment is the early signature and a critical time to detect the disease.
Two testing services are available directly through the Memory Fitness Testing community:
Personal Memory Fitness programs allow individuals to establish their Baseline (normal) memory fitness.
An essential part of the brain's function - that of memory.
Every second of our lives, our brain is working and administering control over our minds and bodies. Stimulation requires processing. Processing sometimes prompts the brain to generate involuntary muscle responses/commands. Sometimes there is confusion, then an answer or directive response. In the case of a learned situation, a memory is formed.
The forming of a recent memory, like how you got to this web page, is called your short term memory and learning process. It turns out that the brain wants to learn new things all the time. For those who exercise this mental muscle - there doesn't seem to be a limitation to what can be learned. Like a muscle - the more you use it the higher your performance can be. This doesn't seem to be reduced with aging either. So, the concept of forgetfulness, disorientation, and memory loss being part of getting "old" isn't really a truth in life. It appears that "If you don't use it, you'll loose it", is an accurate statement about an individual's senior year memory fitness.
Anti-disease health and lifestyle habits that support healthy body conditioning and do not contribute to any degenerative disease condition
Hearing Dr. Ashford Speak of His Personal Alzheimer's Prevention Plan....
Many doctors follow rigid physical/mental fitness programs, take vitamins and supplements, and frequently consult with their peers regarding Alzheimer's prevention.
Here, Dr. Ashford comments about the events in his career that led him to pursue better clinical understandings of the disease as well as the development of accurate memory assessment and memory fitness monitoring programs.
In 1985, Dr. J. Wesson Ashford, through what has now become Medafile, began promoting lifestyle and self administered treatments that would greatly reduce an individual's chances of developing the Alzheimer's disease.
In 2000, the global Alzheimer's research community agreed that the majority of Alzheimer's cases were preventable. There is a significant amount of evidence (accumulated from research projects for other diseases) that an individual adopting healthy lifestyle habits can greatly reduce their chances of developing the Alzheimer's disease process.
Upon closer examination of the evidence, people will be quick to see that the individual should be reducing their chances of developing any disease - that just makes sense.
Since 1985, Dr J. Wesson Ashford has promoted that Alzheimer's is preventable, and he maintains a web page promoting his "Top 10 Treatments" at www.medafile.com. I encourage you to review Dr. Ashford's web page - as he is one of the leading influences in public awareness of the memory testing, diagnostic, and treatment response monitoring section of the neuroscience industry.
Dr. Ashford's research promotes that lifestyle habits can greatly reduce an individual's chances of developing the AD process. He points out that researchers are now debating the degree of reduction a lifestyle of prevention can produce. The debate seems to settle on somewhere between 60% to 90%! I say a 10% reduction is enough to save $125 Billion dollars a year and 250,000 lives in America.
From Alzheimer's LifePlan 2000 -
"Alzheimer's has robbed me of family members, and as I write this my last remaining Aunt is in a Nursing home, depleted of the money my Uncle and she worked so hard to accumulate, in advanced stages of Alzheimer's.
(PDC-edit 2006 > My aunt passed in 2.12.2006, leaving my mother as the last member of her immediate family. My mother is now 89 and has monitored her lifestyle habits and memory fitness for four years. She consistently exercises - although she is reducing her efforts - continues to eat a healthy high-fiber/low-fat diet and takes supplements - and consistently scores over 90% on the 26 image memory fitness test offered in the Alzheimer's LifePlan testing center. I feel both my mother and father have been successful in slowing any onset of the Alzheimer's disease process by following their personal prevention programs - as they have lived longer in good health than any of their ancestors.)
When my parents turned 80, that was 1998, I had a talk with my mother. Mom was frightened that she would develop Alzheimer's (her mother had passed with Alzheimer's at the age of 81), and she was afraid that Dad already had the early memory loss problems (Dad's father passed with Alzheimer's at the age of 79). Mom didn't know what to do, even after talking with her doctors about dementia and Alzheimer's disease. There was little I could do or say to ease her concern"
Continuing in 2006 edit:
It was Dr. Ashford's Top Ten Treatment programs that he offers at www.medafile.com combined with his clincial memory fitness testing platforms that first brought up the concept of population prevention and memory accessment testing services.
The Alzheimer's Association Promotes Prevention
For decades, the Alzheimer's Association has provided support, information, local programs, care giver support, and raised more funds for Alzheimer's related research than any other private organization. To say the association is an institution is an understatement.
My search for information and historical data about Alzheimer's took me to the Northern California/Nevada Alzheimer's Association in Mountain View, California. Since 1987 Bill Fisher has headed up organization of all concerned about Alzheimer's in this region. He has seen the complete turn over of doctors and research professionals who early on, thought it was pointless to even diagnose the Alzheimer's disease condition - for fear it would just agitate people.
Today, Bill fisher works with the leading team of doctors, including Dr. J. Wesson Ashford, to take the good news about Alzheimer's detection and treatment development to the people of his area.
The Alzheimer's Association Leads Funding For Alzheimer's Awareness/Research Projects
Like the millions before me that were dumbfounded about Alzheimer's - I sought out the Northern California/Nevada Alzheimer's Association.
I met with Mr. Bill Fisher, CEO of the Northern California/Nevada Alzheimer's Association, and heard first hand what his group is doing to promote Alzheimer's awareness and prevention.
Traditionally, the association has provided support groups, information, some organized community and patient/care giving programs - when there was nothing else.
Brain Imaging that allows researchers and doctors to watch exquisite images of disease progress or treatment response.
Few people realize that Dr. Alzheimer in 1906, relied upon a technological marvel of his day - the microscope - to confirm there were plaques and tangles causing devastation to the learning centers of disease patients. He (Dr. Alzheimer), developed memory tests for a series of patients that evidenced accelerated senility - later at autopsy (with the microscope) he documented that memory reduction had occurred in a sequential manner - and the plaques and tangles were in the exact physical location of the short term memory and learning functions were centered.
Dr. Alzheimer was only able to confirm his theory at autopsy and with the microscope. In the 100 years that followed, legions of researchers, scientists, doctors and technologist have continued to monitor the Alzheimer's disease process - and the majority of this research has centered upon the very same substances that Dr. Alzheimer's identified. There is a protein based compound in all healthy brains - a beta amyloid - that is the primary compound of the Alzheimer's process plaque.
In the 100 years since Dr. Alzheimer's correct diagnosis of the disease - we now know that the disease process is extremely complex, has many chemical mechanics running in a number of places. But, the one clear indicator that remains, and drives the most apparent symptom of the disease process is the excessive levels of plaque in the short term memory centers - those areas that allow an individual to form recent memories.
There have recently been tremendous progress in Alzheimer's research. Remember that doctors, scientists and medical researchers have been studying the brain, genetics, memory and cognitive reasoning/learning functions, body/disease chemistry, and treatment development and monitoring for response to treatment - for a hundred years.
In the 1990's, several large technology companies allocated research development towards better brain imaging. In regards to Alzheimer's, this effort promised doctors and researchers physical proof and images of the disease process in living brains. The progress made here literally presents a picture of the brain's condition at precise points of time in the disease process. Doctors can "image" the consistent pattern of mild cognitive impairment all the way through to advanced stages (brain damage) of the disease.
Dr. Paul Thompson, PhD. UCLA Neuroimaging Lab
We'll be talking more about the importance of brain imaging later, but I wanted to introduce Dr. Paul Thompson, PhD. to you - and let him explain how the powerful SGI Super Computers provide valuable imaging of the disease process, and how these images will play a vital role in ending Alzheimer's.
For a complete transcript of my visit with Dr. Thompson, click here. Dr. Thompson's Press Room, click here.
Brain Imaging and the Role It Plays In Ending Alzheimer's
Most of Alzheimer's research has been conducted by individual doctors, or medical researchers - not only working in isolation, but often working with little or no funding.
In the late 1980's as the computer and Internet revolutions started building - powerful scanning and graphic rendering platforms were applied in anatomy imaging. Dr. Thompson's work is as revolutionary as Dr. Alzheimer's early diagnosis - only we can see it as well.
When a researchers needs to "see" how or if a brain is diseased or responding to a treatment - there is a need for some form of physical evidence. Just as Dr. Alzheimer's used the microscope in 1906 to document the damages caused by the disease process- today's scientists and doctors can use powerful imaging technology to view three dimensional living brains - making it possible to monitor the disease process as well as identify treatment response in "real" time.
Alzheimer's : The Movie
Dr. Alzheimer would have been amazed if he could see this short animated film - created from brain images of living/diseased Alzheimer's patients - all participating in a study that imaged the group's brains over a two year period.
The animated film shows the path of destruction the disease from mild cognitive impairment to complete withering of the brain - documenting the complete process.
This kind of physical monitoring of living brains - is proving itself invaluable - as researchers now have methods to accurately diagnosis the disease process, identify the precise condition of the diseased brain, monitor for response to treatments and/or track recovery. The days of speculation or waiting until autopsy to confirm theories if over - today feedback is vivid and accurate.
Immunotheraputic Treatments - like but not limited to the Vaccine currently in trials.
For 100 years, doctors, researchers and care givers have sought a cure - or even an effective treatment - that would slow, arrest or reverse the Alzheimer's disease process. Until the end of the 20th Century, there were no FDA approved Alzheimer's treatments. Doctors like J.Wesson Ashford were instrumental in introducing treatments at the clinical level, while another group of researchers were pushing innovative treatment concepts into their laboratories.
Until the 1980's most Alzheimer's research was conducted by individual doctors or researchers, who worked in isolation and often without funds or equipment. As more and more was learned about the disease process and its relationship with a healthy body, a number of pharmaceutical treatments were developed.
There are a handful of organizations that raise funds for research, as well as conduct seminars, manage research projects, and distribute educational and/or informational programs regarding ending Alzheimer's. I have established relationships with these groups and would like you to visit with them as well. The organizations and the individuals maintaining them, in some cases compete with one another - but always unite in the common cause of ending this terrible disease.
Alzheimer's Research Forum - This group regularly conducts seminars, debates, and publishes discussions as well as progress reports. This group collects the research and opinions from the leading neuroscience doctors, researchers, technologists and treatment development specialists - a must visit if you are interested in the latest Alzheimer's research findings.
Alzheimer's Education and Referral Center - This multi-facetted online collection of reports, publications, videos, is operated byNational Institute on Aging and holds vast archived information as well as free booklets, regular updates on FDA approved treatments and often information about NIA funded research projects.
International Brain Research Organization - This is not only a good source of historic and generic information about Alzheimer's (brain) research - if represents a collection of schools, research projects, researchers and institutions working in Alzheimer's related fields.
Dr. J. Wesson Ashford's works within the laboratory and the clinic environments. He has seen the development of FDA approved drugs come into practice while he was developing his memory testing and mild cognitive impairment screening programs.
Alzheimer's Drug Treatments and Their Role In Early Stage Treatment
Since the 1980's doctors like Dr. Ashford, have helped make the first significant clinical and research lab breakthroughs towards effective treatments of the Alzheimer's disease condition.
Dr. Ashford reflects on the scale of personal, financial and social damages caused by Alzheimer's. All of this adds value to the tremendous effort being managed by the medical research and care giving industries. Now, with better understanding of the disease process, the brain's memory fitness functions, and effective treatment strategy, the hope that Alzheimer's can be prevented arises.
Reference page for FDA approved Treatments, click here.
Medical Doctors have traditionally (for the past 100 years) been the front line of Alzheimer's detection and treatment strategy development. Unfortunately, the doctors have had little of no access to effective Alzheimer's screening tests - and less awareness of treatments - even the FDA approved treatments.
The FDA process (clinical trials) that bring treatments from the laboratory to the doctors), are conducted under strict confidence - to protect the patients and the research/treatment development group's liability. As recently as 1999, I conducted online searches for doctors, treatments, clinics and cures for Alzheimer's - and I found several posted articles, testimonies, and clinical "treatment" centers offering more than hope to the online reader.
I tried to investigate or visit each of these promoters and only found a few that were sincere. In some cases, the promoters were little more than health and fitness zealots - promoting the truth that the right diet matched to the right physical/mental regimes - promotes health. Others were out and out misinformed promoters. I wasn't the only one checking around for an effective Alzheimer's treatment platform.
As the 2000 Stockholm Alzheimer's conference, the research and medical communities agreed to agree that the Alzheimer's disease process was accurately diagnosed by Dr. Alzheimer in 1906, and that all of the research that followed his diagnosis led to the overwhelming conclusion that Alzheimer's was a degenerative process - meaning caused by environmental and individual lifestyle elements; and that changing an at risk individual's lifestyle habits towards those that reduced that individual's chances of developing the disease (PREVENTION), was the best treatment yet developed.
Short of press releases and an occasional story leaked by the leading doctor's or their PR firms, little information trickled to the to Medical Doctors who examine individuals at risk of developing Alzheimer's.
I asked Dr. Ashford to comment on the FDA approved Alzheimer's disease treatments, and how he felt they could help end Alzheimer's.
Dr. Ashford recalls his early observations about Alzheimer's and drug treatment development...
In the past, senior family members have developed memory disorders - forgetting how they got to a room, forgetting what they had for breakfast, or what the person's name is that they just met. Often, the victim will go into a doctor's office for exam - having the doctor ask, "How are you doing? Do you have any memory problems?" Sadly, the victim can not remember he or she has a memory problem - and they feel fine answering, "I feel fine". A simple scenario that has reoccurred far too many times.
So, regular testing of your brain's ability to form recent memories should be as common as taking your blood pressure, or weighing in at the scales, or stress treadmill testing.
How can it be? How can so many people be robbed of their memory, dignity, worth and independence, and not have adequate advocacy to merit serious funding and a concentrated research effort?
There is probably a million answers to that question. From my point of view, it seemed to be a matter of awareness and money. Awareness in a global sense that Alzheimer's costs Americans $125 Billion a year - and it could be prevented if self administered treatments are promoted between the doctors and the populations.
The pharmaceutical industry uses a set of rules/guidelines and business practice disciplines - basically a handbook - when developing drugs with high financial values.
Part of these guidelines - the part that moves a drug from the clinical trials into clinics - presently constitutes a massive marketing effort on the half of the drug companies. I'm not making any judgment here -I'm simply the messenger. And, I'm reporting that companies spending/investing $200-700,000 on the developing of a new drug/treatment - have to genera
Alzheimer's Foundation Memory Screenings
The Alzheimer's Foundation of America initiated National Memory Screening Day as part of its mission to provide "optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families"…and as part of its focus on "Together for Care…in addition to Cure."
National Memory Screening Day is one of the highlights of AFA's ongoing national effort to promote early detection of Alzheimer's disease and related illnesses, and to encourage appropriate intervention, including medical treatments, social services and other resources. AFA believes that memory screenings are a significant first step toward early diagnosis.
AFA carries out this event in collaboration with organizations and healthcare professionals across the U.S.—bringing them together for care. Participating sites offer free confidential memory screenings, as well as follow-up resources and educational materials to those concerned about memory loss.
National Memory Screening Day was introduced in November 2003, and is held on the third Tuesday of November each year. It takes place in November in recognition of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month.
Who Should Be Screened?
Memory screenings make sense for anyone concerned about memory loss or experiencing warning signs of dementia; whose family and friends have noticed changes in them; or who believe they are at risk due to a family history of Alzheimer's disease or a related illness. Screenings also are appropriate for anyone who does not have a concern right now, but who wants to establish a base line score for comparison in the future.
These questions might help you decide. If you answer "yes" to any of them, you might benefit from a memory screening.
Am I becoming more forgetful?
Do I have trouble concentrating?
Do I have difficulty performing familiar tasks?
Do I have trouble recalling words or names in conversation?
Do I sometimes forget where I am?
Have family or friends told me that I am repeating questions or saying the same thing over and over again?
Am I misplacing things more often?
Have I become lost when walking or driving in a familiar neighborhood?
Have my family or friends noticed changes in my mood, behavior, personality, or desire to do things?
Note: A memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a qualified physician or other healthcare professional.
WARNING SIGNS OF DEMENTIA
Trouble with new memories
Relying on memory helpers
Trouble finding words
Struggling to complete familiar actions
Confusion about time, place or people
Misplacing familiar objects
Onset of new depression or irritability
Making bad decisions
Personality changes
Loss of interest in important responsibilities
Seeing or hearing things
Expressing false beliefs
THE PROCESS
A memory screening is a simple and safe evaluation tool that assesses memory and other intellectual functions, and indicates whether additional testing by a qualified healthcare professional is necessary.
Various types of healthcare professionals provide memory screenings, including social workers, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and doctors.
The face-to-face screening takes place in a private setting; only the individual being tested and the clinician are present.
A screening consists of a series of questions and/or tasks designed to test memory, language skills, thinking ability, and other intellectual functions. Screening tools include a Mini-Mental Status Exam, a Seven-Minute Screen and a clock drawing.
The person who administers the screening will review the results with you, and suggest whether you should follow up with a physician or other qualified healthcare professional for more extensive testing.
Results of the memory screenings are confidential. Typically, you will receive the screening results to bring to your healthcare professional or, with your permission, the clinician at the screening will send the results to your physician.
Note: A memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a qualified physician or other healthcare professional.
