Papery or electrical data processing tools are used for documenting, transmitting, evaluating, recording and archiving patient data. An implementation of an electronic health record (EHR) is a complex and multi-dimensional entity. There is a need to ensure that the impact of EHR is fully evaluated. For systematic evaluation of the Hospital Information System is developed and tested a HIS-monitor (Ammenwerth et al 2007, 2011). HIS-monitor testing is one part of the evaluation study of the implementation of EHR at the Satakunta Hospital District (SHD) in Finland. With 2500 health care professionals SHD produces specialized medical care services for 226 000 residents. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of EHR on the flow of information. The study design is before and after of EHR system implementation. At the pilot phase the survey material was collected and the HIS-monitor questionnaire was tested. Results show that current data processing tools do not support enough the flow of information. Results were used in further development of HIS-monitor.

Background: In Alzheimer's Disease trials, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) are commonly utilized as inclusionary criteria at screening. These measures, however, do not always reaffirm inclusionary status at baseline. Score changes between screening and baseline visits may imply potential score inflation at screening leading to inappropriate participant enrollment.

Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the most common nonheritable causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is lack of effective treatment for both AD and TBI. We posit that network-based integration of multi-omics and endophenotype disease module coupled with large real-world patient data analysis of electronic health records (EHR) can help identify repurposable drug candidates for the treatment of TBI and AD.

In Japan, the regulatory authority approved the drug in September 2023, and on December 20, it became available for prescription country-wide under the health insurance system. However, there are strict patient, physician, and facility requirements for the prescription of Lecanemab, and various problems are anticipated in its future implementation and widespread use in society. Lecanemab is the first anti-Aβ antibody in Japan, and even dementia specialists do not have sufficient knowledge and experience in its introduction, evaluation of efficacy, and evaluation and handling of side effects.

Real-World data platforms for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) offer a unique opportunity to improve health equity through better understanding of health disparities and inclusivity in research, which is critical to translatability of research findings. AD research in the US and globally remains largely inaccessible to many individuals due to individual-level, study-level, investigator-level and larger systemic barriers. ALZ-NET, a US-based registry to evaluate longitudinal outcomes of patients being evaluated for or treated with novel FDA-approved AD therapy, and New IDEAS, an observational US-based longitudinal study of amyloid PET clinical utility, both offer opportunities for examining care, inclusivity, and disparities.

Background: Mobile health applications have the potential to enhance dementia care and promote well-being among older adults living independently. This systematic review aims to synthesise and evaluate the existing evidence on the effectiveness of mobile applications developed to improve or maintain cognitive function among older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.

Method: A systematic search was conducted across major electronic databases, including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, and PsycInfo, to identify relevant studies published from 2012 to 2023.
