1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Eight o five and fifty five KCD Talks station a

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: very Happy Friday to you. Let's move over to something

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: that is truly happy. Born of problems and an ever

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: growing population of seniors out in the world needing assistance,

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: whether in the home or in an assisted living facility,

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: and the problems and complications that go along with that

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: because quite often they are not properly cared for, which

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: is a sad reality, but it is in fact a reality.

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: When I think of my dad in the facility when

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: he was dealing with his Alzheimers. My mom was there

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: every single day because, of course she loved him, but also,

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: of course because she was painfully aware of the realities

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: of being an assisted living facility and that he would

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: not be tended to her level of desire. And that

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: is literally the case everywhere. Welcome back to the fifty

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: five KOC Morning Show from Heart Number four Seniors dot Org,

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: Hard for Seniors dot R. We're going to talk about

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: what they are doing for seniors out there. Patty and

19
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Roger back in the studio to talk about something that

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: I had no idea about now. Previously, Patty Roger, you

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: were talking about the modern technology you have the incontinence

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: undergarments to immediately notify staff through a software app that

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: someone needs to have their diaper change, because of course,

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: if they don't, they'll just follow the schedule that they're on,

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: and that person, your loved one, may be wallowing in

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: it for hours and hours before they ultimately reach the

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: place on the schedule, or they're dry when it comes

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: time for them to be checked on, and five seconds

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: after the nurse leaves the room, that's when it happens.

30
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: So the software as fires up and it provides a

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: whole lot of other information. It's just an amazing development

32
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and thanks to Heart for Seniors for that. But the

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: reason that is a problem, I understand is wallowing and

34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: that can lead to a urinary tract infection and that

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: is not good. But what else can lead to a

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: urinary tract infection? And I found that out this morning, laziness.

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: If I could sum it up, if I got that right,

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: Let's start with ro and Patty. I love having you here,

39
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: thank you, and I understand the phone's ringing off the

40
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: hook over hard for seniors.

41
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: We appreciate all the phone calls so much from all

42
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: of your listeners, all the donations, we really do appreciate it.

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, let's talk about the what's really going on

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: here with regards to laziness.

45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Well, and it started with this. You call this a TP. Yeah,

46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: well it's a little tent. It's a little placard and

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: they brought it and immediately handed it to me and

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: it says do not insert urinary catheter without family consent.

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: I was looking at that. Wait a second, why would

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: anybody just sort of randomly use a catheter on someone.

51
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: Roger's got the answer to that, and it's sad and disturbing.

52
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: Roger explain how this happens and why it's a bad thing.

53
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: Well, there are reasons for using a urinary catheter a

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: foley catheter, which are pretty well spelled out by the

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: CDC guidelines. But what we see often happening as we

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: have patients, in particular in the hospital environment, where the

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: person's using the call light to go to the bathroom

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: or you know, they're they're having incontinent needs and they

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: summon the staff and this becomes a problem and at

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: some point the staff decides, well, we're just going to

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: insert a catheter, and that is not an appropriate reason.

62
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: That's a staff convenience issue. That is not an appropriate

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: reason to insert a catheter. And this is really a

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: problem because catheter associated UTIs are the highest reason for

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: infections in the hospital environment.

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: Well, you're introducing a foreign object in an area that

67
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't have a foreign object in under normal conditions, and

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: I would think that is a ripe opportunity to bring

69
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: about an infection.

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: Correct. And so what we see happening in particular with

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: the seniors is about seventy five percent of these people

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: are going to get UTI. It's a very high infection rate.

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: And once they have that UTI, it goes to the bladder,

74
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: it goes to the kidneys that can go to the bloodstream.

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: It's a high mortality rate for seniors. In particular, for seniors,

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: they're vulnerable to this. So, yeah, this came up in

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: our technology pilot that we're doing. We've seen it happen

78
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: a number of times now, so you know, at this

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: point we think it's an education and an advocacy issue.

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: The best way to handle this is to communicate with

81
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 3: the staff of the hospital as much as you can,

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: as effectively as you can that you do not want

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: that cather inserted unless there's an appropriate reason for it.

84
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, again, I had no idea that

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: this was a problem. It's born of laziness. They don't

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: want to deal with having to do a diaper change

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: or something. But the person doesn't really need a catheter

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: because everything I guess is functioning quote unquote normally. But

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: that they would come in and just put it in.

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: I always thought that if there was a catheter in place,

91
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: and that was because a doctor ordered it, I didn't

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: realize they had the leeway and liberty to just go

93
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: ahead and put one in anytime they damn well felt well.

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: Actually, it's the opposite of that. Sometimes. I think Patty's

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: mother when she was in the hospital had an order

96
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: on the chart to not put why not use a

97
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: urinary cath a specific order.

98
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: I had a specific order to not put a cather

99
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: in her because if you remember, we've talked about this

100
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: years prior to that, she had broken her hip. They

101
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: had used a catherterin surgery and they didn't take it

102
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: out for days. After we kept saying it, she dealt

103
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: with a UTI for nine months. Oh, we couldn't get

104
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: rid of it. So then she was back in the

105
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 2: hospital for a completely different reason I specifically put in

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: the order, do not cather her. She needs assistance to

107
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: get up to go to the bathroom. But it works.

108
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: She's not incontinent, she can hold it until she gets there.

109
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: She kept ringing, ring and ring and ring and ring

110
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: and ring, and they wouldn't come in, they wouldn't get

111
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: her up, and so at night they caught her, even

112
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: though I had a note in the file not to cathere.

113
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: Immediately went back in the next day and told him

114
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: to pull it because and again she got a UTI.

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: Oh no, just in that short time period. It was

116
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: so frustrating.

117
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: Well, put the explanation point on Roger's pointed out, you

118
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: can die from these infections.

119
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: My father in law died of sepsis from a UTI

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: in twenty four hours from a catheter, from a from

121
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: a catheter.

122
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: I would say the numbers that we've seen, as much

123
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 3: as seventy five percent of the UTIs that occurrent hospitals

124
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 3: are from the catheters.

125
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Not a quote unuote naturally occurring thing. No, because you

126
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: can get a UTI without a catheter, correctly correct.

127
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: It is the most common calls of secondary bloodstream infections,

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: and those are deadly. That's a trip to ICU. At

129
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 3: that point, you're in trouble. And so why would we

130
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: want to use a catheter because somebody's using their call

131
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: light or because somebody needs assistance going to the bathroom,

132
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 3: And that then becomes staff convenience And it's absolutely not

133
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: a reason to do this. And when you're doing this

134
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: with a thirty year old, that's one thing. But when

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 3: you're doing this to an eighty year old or a

136
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 3: seventy five year old or an eighty five year old,

137
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: you're now dealing with a completely different problem. A lot

138
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: of these folks just don't recover and it's a pretty

139
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: common cause of death. So we want to educate, We

140
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: want to we want to teach families how to advocate

141
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: because these people need advocates they do. They really need

142
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: family members to step up and say no, no, no.

143
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: So we came up with HEART did this.

144
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Tent.

145
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: It's like a folding tent you can put on the

146
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: bedside table. It's a sign that says do not insert

147
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: yourinary catheter without family consent. We're giving these away heart Is.

148
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: They're free. All you have to do is reach out

149
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: five one, three, four for four twenty thirteen. You can

150
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: email us, you can call. We're sending these out free.

151
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: Along with that one page little flyer there that gives

152
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: them the CDC guidelines does cut what's real and what's not.

153
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: Also, it's not just some sort of random march arbitrary

154
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: thing coming from a family member. Here is our placard

155
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: saying do not do it without our consent, and here's

156
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: the CDC guidelines go along with it and telling you

157
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: exactly why. Correct. Oh, that's outstanding. Correct, that's outstanding. Well,

158
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: you know the website, as they pointed out, you can

162
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: Call it a tpe, called a tent. It's a piece

163
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: of paper that folds into something that stands upright and says,

164
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: do not insert yourn a catheter without family consent. Now

165
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: is there? I'm sorry, I'm still a lawyer. Is there

166
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: liability connected with this? Because if they're not under CDC

167
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: guidelines supposed to insert a catheter and they do it

168
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: simply because they don't want to respond to the calllite

169
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: and that leads to a urinary tract infection, which leads

170
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: to the death of a loved one. Is that exposed

171
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the Obviously, I'm saying this out loud in these pigg

172
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: terms because people in the healthcare community might hear my

173
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: voice and go, oh jeez, I didn't realize we might

174
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: be sued for that. Is that potential right there?

175
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: That sort of well, absolutely, you go, and the CDC

176
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: makes it very clear that catheters are not to be

177
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 3: used as a substitute for nursing care, period you go, period.

178
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: And when they do this as a substitute for nursing care,

179
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: they just violated the CDC guidelines for use of these.

180
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: All right, So yeah, I think there's liability. But here's

181
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: the thing, if you think about it, when people go

182
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: in the hospital, when their loved ones in the hospital,

183
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: we have this almost unbending trust that the hospitals are

184
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: the pinnacle of our healthcare system and they're going to

185
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: just do the right thing. They're not going to do

186
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: anything like this to our loved one. This is where

187
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: education and advocacy comes in, because if you don't know,

188
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: if you haven't educated yourself on this issue, and if

189
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: you don't advocate, You're going to come in and tomorrow

190
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: morning when you visit your mom or your dad, and

191
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: there's going to be a catheter in them. So the

192
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: idea here is to stop that before it happens by

193
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: putting the sign up, maybe getting an order on the chart,

194
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: which they will ignore sometimes, Patty, but you have to advocate.

195
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: You have to advocate. You have to protect.

196
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: Your elderly loved ones from this problem because it will happen.

197
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Period. It will happen. Two people sitting in front of

198
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: me the seat all the time, one who lost her

199
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: father as a consequence of this happening. In spite of

200
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: the order in the chart, do not insert your in

201
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: a catheter without family consent. Get your placard at heartfort

206
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: Hey, twenty fifty five KRCD Talk Station, Very happy Friday

207
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: to you. Distressing news, but I am so happy to

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: be in a position to let other people know about this.

209
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: I certainly had no clue in spite of the fact

210
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: my dad was in an assistant living facility and did

211
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: have a cather to one point over use of catheters,

212
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: there are inappropriate uses and their appropriate uses for catheters,

213
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: and so Heart for Seniors Patty Roger here with their

214
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: little placard, which you can get by simply calling five

215
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: one three four four four twenty thirteen free for you.

216
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: Go to the website Heart number four Seniors dot org,

217
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: click on the advocacy link get your placard. There it says,

218
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: do not insert your ain area catheter without family consent.

219
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: They're using them inappropriately as a substitute for obtaining your inspecimens.

220
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: For example, for dealing with a senior that might need

221
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: to get assistance to go to the bathroom, not for incontinence,

222
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: just because it's inconvenient for the staff to have to

223
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: respond to a call aid. So in goes a catheter

224
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: and along with that a good chance of getting a

225
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: urinary tract infection, which for most, notably the senior community,

226
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: we learn from Roger that they could be deadly. Patty

227
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: knows from this personally her father died from UTI that

228
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have had a catheter in him and they

229
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: put it in anyway. Let's address the pushback patty. His

230
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: chart said do not use a catheter. They did it anyway.

231
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: And I know that you've had some experience with these

232
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: little placards that some institutions welcomed them and will honor them,

233
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: while others will remove them from the patient's room. It

234
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: depends on who you're dealing with.

235
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: So we just started the advocacy a few weeks ago.

236
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: We've already had one local hospital that embraced it, completely

237
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: supported it, sat their bedside, The family loved it. They

238
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: had open communication, and I'm happy to report the senior

239
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: did not get a catheter inserted in and they came

240
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: in and they helped him to the restroom and he

241
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: got out totally fine and he's back home, wonderful. We

242
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: had another situation and another institution where the tent was

243
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: removed and stayed.

244
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: A placard because it's a state tent. I think of

245
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: that camping.

246
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little tpe. It's a little it's a

247
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: little triangle tpe.

248
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: It's not very large.

249
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's per It just sits right bedside. You can

250
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: see a picture of it on our website. And they

251
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: took it out. They took it out then said that

252
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: we had to meet with hospital administration and the family

253
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: was like why, Like I want this on the chart.

254
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: Like all I'm saying is don't insert a catheter until

255
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: you call me and tell me why why.

256
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: And then you can look at the appropriate indications, which

257
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: information hard for seniors will give you along with a

258
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: TP ten placard. Call it what you will when is

259
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: it appropriate acute urinary retention or bladder outlet obstruction? So

260
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: a family member can say why are you inserting the

261
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: catheter when there's no obstruction, When they have the conversation,

262
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: and then they can go through and say why, Well,

263
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: because your father has acute urinary retention, you can say, okay,

264
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: that's a reason, and it justifies the cath use other

265
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: accurate other reasons, accurate measurement of urinary output in critically

266
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: ill patients, perioperative use for selected surgical procedures, check assistance

267
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: in healing open sacral or paranial wounds, fine, patient requires

268
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: prolonged and mobilization, unstable spine, multiple traumatic injuries, fine, and finally,

269
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: end of life comfort care. So in those situations it's justified.

270
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: But if you have the conversation with a family member,

271
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: my medical provider friends, you can at least explain it

272
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: to them. This is within the CDC guidelines on what

273
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: you are proposing to do, in which case the family

274
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: member can say, okay, I consent, Catherin problem solved.

275
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: Correct.

276
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: That's the process. That's the process.

277
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, what happens instead is second shift nurse decides to

278
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: insert to catheter because they're short stout, they're busy, they

279
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: don't want to answer the call light. And now we've

280
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: introduced a deadly in fact potentially deadly infection to a

281
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: senior and it's just a sad outcome at that point.

282
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, I will observe and comment maybe

283
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: again from this because we've talked about it before. It

284
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: is very difficult, like with senior living facilities to get

285
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: people to even work there, and when they do work there,

286
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: they usually underpaid. And overworld they've got more people than

287
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: they're taken care of them. They should be taken care of.

288
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Following that again, checking the linens and the diapers schedule,

289
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: there's only so much of those people can do, but

290
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: heartforce seniors hard. The number four Seniors dot org has

291
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: got great technology not to stand in the way of

292
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: them wanting to do some easy path out of dealing with

293
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: your loved one long while by like inserting urinary cathers,

294
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: but getting the software and the diapers that tell the

295
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: individuals there and that they need to be changed as

296
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: opposed to following the schedule just doing it when it's necessary.

297
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: Simple things like that can make their jobs much easier

298
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: and maybe even making a more appealing profession to pursue.

299
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: It's a tough gig.

300
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: It's a tough gig, and so many families. Now, I mean,

301
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: I'm a sandwich generation. I've got my parents and I've

302
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: got my kids, and I'm right stuck in the middle,

303
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: still working. And I mean, here's the deal.

304
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: We're all.

305
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: I mean, my mom's independent living at home. Your mom's

306
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: independent living in it.

307
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: She is.

308
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: They want to stay at home, and I want them

309
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: to stay at home, but we need the tools. So like,

310
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: my mom has the watch right and she's not in

311
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: continent yet.

312
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what hold on that. Since we

313
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: really dedicated a good amount of time in the first

314
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: couple of segments to the urinary tract issue, people now

315
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: know about it and can call five one, three, four, four, four,

316
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, let's remind people about the watch and the

317
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: other technology because this, if you haven't heard about it,

318
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: this is going to make everyone's life much better. Whether

Speaker 1: or don't go away. We'll bring them back and share

324
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: their experiences. And they want you to share your stories too.

325
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: If you've got a urinary tract infection story, it sounds

326
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: weird to ask for it, you can get that on

327
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: you can post it online at Heart for Seniors dot

328
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: or correct and you're you want people, we want to share.

329
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: Their We want their stories because we want to be

330
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: able to help them, and we want to educate other people.

331
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: And we're going to post those stories with their permission,

332
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: just to have them out there.

333
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 4: Again.

334
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: It's about education and add see, we have to educate

335
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: family members on how to take care of these seniors.

336
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: You got to educate providers as well. Apparently eight twenty

337
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 1: six right now fifty five k CD talk station don't away.

338
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 4: This is fifty five krc an iHeart.

339
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: Rate the talk station a thirty fifty five KRCD talk

340
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: station Love for Seniors. Actually it's Heart for Seniors, Heart

341
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: to number four Seniors dot or just doing wonderful, wonderful

342
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: things for seniors that are dealing with get an assisted

343
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: living facility or getting care at home. Obviously frail, maybe

344
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: struggling with other medical complications. Family members worried about them,

345
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: keeping track of them, helping out when they can other

346
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: people like care providers and assisted living facilities or in hospitals.

347
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: They have a lot of work on their plate, and

348
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: quite often, as we found out in the last couple

349
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: of segments, they're well taking a shortcut route putting it

350
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: a catheter in when they are not under a CDC

351
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: guidelines to even get a catheter. So you can get

352
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: your little placard, put it next to your loved one's bed.

353
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: No catheter without family consent, Fine, do that. It's easy

354
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 1: to get the placard five one three, four four four

355
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. But moving away from the UTIs I've had

356
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: you folks on this as Patty and Roger in studio

357
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: from Hard for Seniors about the advancements in technology that

358
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: is helping I would say family members as well as

359
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: medical providers perhaps get ahead of problems and solve some

360
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: of the issues with this wonderful diagnostic tool that that

361
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: watch has become. So remind my listeners and those who

362
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: don't know what you're going to be talking about about

363
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: this amazing, amazing thing that everybody hearing my voice can

364
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: get for their loved one. It's a smart watch, but

365
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: it's a whole lot smarter than a smart watch.

366
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: It is it's alert response technology, and it's really taking

367
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: the watch and putting it with our software system, which

368
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: is what is the most powerful piece ever.

369
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: That's the app.

370
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: That's the app, and it now can be used for

371
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: home base. And here's the deal with it. So you go,

372
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: your loved one goes to the doctor's office maybe once

373
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: a year or twice a year, they get their vitals

374
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: and they leave, right, nobody knows after they leave from

375
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: that one in take of the vitals, what really goes on.

376
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: This is twenty four seven monitoring and not just heart rate,

377
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: not just pull socks, not just HRV, two feet on

378
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: the ground, symmetry walking. I mean, my mom, right, I

379
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: mean I can detect early on. I want to prevent

380
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: a fall. I don't want more falls. And what's really

381
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: interesting is it takes in time. So for example, last night,

382
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: I can pull up and see exactly what her low

383
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: heart rate, what her high heart rate was when it

384
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: was all the above, and there is a correlation, for example,

385
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: in when she takes her medication. So everybody should understand

386
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: because we've had members that have been working with us

387
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 2: who kept falling and the family members were like, why

388
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: are they falling? Put the technology on and we're realizing, well,

389
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: it's at five am, it's at seven am. Well, ironically

390
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: it's after they've taken their medication. So for example, if

391
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: you're on a medication, it's very sensitive the older that

392
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: you get.

393
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: Okay, And one of the ones that Roger brought up

394
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: in the break was Flomax trouble urinating. You're getting up

395
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: three four times at night. Guys, quite often they'll put

396
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: you on Flowmax, but sadly, as you get older, for.

397
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: An eighty five year old, it was making them dizzy

398
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: and causing faults. They took our reports and the data

399
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: to their doctor. He looked at it and he was like, wow,

400
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm taking you off a flow Maax took him off

401
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: of Flowmax. Haven't had any false no.

402
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 3: False Sense's what's really interesting, and I think as the

403
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 3: critical part of this to not miss is we're flowing

404
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 3: a lot, a lot of data. Yes, it's a lot,

405
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: and we've developed a very powerful artificial intelligence engine which

406
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: takes that data and produces for the family and for

407
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 3: the physician and analysis of all the data and summarizes

408
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: it into a couple of paragraphs and describes medically what

409
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 3: might be going on here.

410
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: And it's a hints in suggestion, not necessarily conclusions, but

411
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: here are some things you might want to look at,

412
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: the possible recommendations. And then we have human in the loop, right,

413
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: have the doctor involved so he can look at those

414
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: that report. If he doesn't want to look at days

415
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: and days of data, he gets a very powerful AI

416
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: engine summarizing for him what might be going on here

417
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: and giving him suggestions. Yeah, and you think about that again,

418
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: going back to your point on it, it's twenty four

419
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: to seven is being collected twenty four hours day, seven

420
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: days a week. There's not a physical I don't care

421
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: how many times you go see your doctor. No one

422
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: has that amount of information about somebody.

423
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 3: No, and it's a senior focused AI region. It's not.

424
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: So it's not I would wear one necessarily, although I'm

425
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: getting up in years. But it isn't for me, it's

426
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: for folks.

427
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: I would recommend it for anybody because if to me,

428
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: no matter how old or young you are, he could

429
00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 3: have a problem and not know it true until something happened, right,

430
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: and it makes you aware of it. And so what

431
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: this does is it streams all this data and then

432
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 3: analyzes it for you. AI is an amazing tool. It

433
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: can be properly extremely.

434
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: Powerful doctor and Dave had her this morning for Tech Friday.

435
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: It isn't always great thing, but it can be. And

436
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, I've always viewed AI just from a ten

437
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: thousand foot perspective, since I'm not cast savvy on things

438
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: medical necessarily or AI, but it is it seems to

439
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: be a perfect tool for medicine because what doctor in

440
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: the world is the ultimate perfect diagnostician, What doctor in

441
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: the world has all of this information and what doctor

442
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: in the world could just literally take all the information

443
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: to the extents right in front of him and crunch

444
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: it down and put it into one neatly digestible piece

445
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: of boiled down information. AI does all.

446
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: That, and the issue is too Brian is here in Cincinnati.

447
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: We have multiple wonderful healthcare systems, but especially seniors. They'll

448
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: have a cardiologist, they'll have a pomonologist, they'll have a

449
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: kidney doctor. Sometimes they're not all on my chart together,

450
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: so they're actually prescribing different medications and no one's actually

451
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: looking the polypharmacies. It's huge, a huge issue in seniors, these.

452
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: Medicines in or are I know, you know, And that

453
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: was the other thing I was thinking about. Pharmacists were

454
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: the ones that usually were used to be charged with

455
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: knowing what drug interactions can be tolerated and where the

456
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: red flags pop up. I don't know that they're even

457
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: doing that anymore. That's just me speaking out of turn, perhaps,

458
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: But someone's got to know what the end individual who's

459
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: taking the drugs all about, all the drugs and all

460
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: the information. So when someone starts following, you may be

461
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: able to deduce that, oh gee, it's that addition of

462
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: flows back.

463
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 3: It goes back to advocacy. Okay, the pharmacist is not

464
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: your advocate. Your son or your daughter is right, or

465
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: your loved one somebody who really cares about you. And

466
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: the way this system works is we communicate with this

467
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: SAB not just with the patient, but the son, the daughter,

468
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: two daughters and two sons can all.

469
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Right now, mom, Hey, your vital signs are looking really good.

470
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: To say you can advocate when you have information, yes

471
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: you can, but you can't when you don't.

472
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: And let me say one last thing, and I hate

473
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: to say this, but I'm going to say it. We

474
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: can't continue to advance this technology without funding.

475
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: That's true.

476
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: And I'm going to say something here that might be

477
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: a little off base, but I'm going to say it anyway.

478
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 2: All of our funding has come from individuals. We have

479
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: not had any company step up, really none, No companies

480
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: have stepped up. They're all donations from individuals. We would

481
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: love a Cincinnati based company to care and really help

482
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: us donate. They're small little donations that come in and

483
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 2: they're fine. But I don't understand why companies are not

484
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: supporting our senior.

485
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is tax deductible five oh one three C

486
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: type of organization we're talking out here, So it is

487
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: a and what a societal benefit, Oh my word. If

488
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: you can get ahead of these medical problems and you

489
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: don't end up with a UTI or a fall or

490
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: a hip break or anything that saves everybody a heapload

491
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: of money. All Right, we'll bring them back because there's

492
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: I just kind of want to get not only just

493
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: to boil down a summary of the technology you have

494
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: it hard for seniors, but also we'll give out the

495
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: information on how people can help out because they are

496
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: really doing God's work here Hard for seniors. Don't go wait,

497
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,520

500
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: number four Seniors dot org and pivoting over over the

501
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: breakdown even more wonderful information.

502
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: Okay, who out there is got a senior loved one?

503
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking of Mom mom when you can't reach

504
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: them on the phone. Mom's got a cell phone, Mom's

505
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: got a landline. If I call both of those and

506
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: she doesn't answer either of them. She's eighty six, she

507
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: does live alone, she can still and she gets around.

508
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: That freaks me out. Where is she?

509
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: Well?

510
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: Could be a phone problems. She's had some of those lately.

511
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: But you have an answer and a solution to that problem.

512
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: Going back to the app you can get from Hard

513
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: for Seniors and the watch problem solved, problem solved. Where's

514
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: your mom right now?

515
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: My mom actually is a I know exactly where she

516
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: and Delia, and I also know her heart is beating

517
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 2: and her pull sox is good and she has HRV.

518
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: But there's peace of mind.

519
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: It's peace of mind. It actually happened to me personally

520
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: last night. My cousin called panicking and anyway, long story short,

521
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 2: she was sleeping, but we had the watch on her,

522
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 2: so we knew vitally she was doing well. And however,

523
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: this one, we've had a lot of members call us

524
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: begging because they're seeing early signs of dementia and people

525
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: are starting to leave their home. And these are people

526
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 2: that are living at home. Their spouses are wanting to

527
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: keep them at home. But a scary thing is is

528
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: you go to yoga class, so you go to the

529
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: grocery and you come back and all of a sudden,

530
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: someone has left the premise. So we actually are testing

531
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: right now. It's it will be released here in the

532
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: next several weeks. Our GPS segment to the watch and

533
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: it's got two features geo fencing, so we can set

534
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: a perimeter of two hundred feet or whatever the distances

535
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: that you want. If somebody leaves the house, it will

536
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: alert you alert response technology.

537
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: That's better than the ankle bracelets we have in the

538
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: state of Ohio for felons who have been put on

539
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: probation in their own homes and aren't allowed to leave

540
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: and then cut them off and wander around for months

541
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: only to go and kill somebody in their own apartment.

542
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: And then also yours actually were or will work.

543
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 2: It does and then you can actually find them. So

544
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: that's the second piece of it is you can actually

545
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 2: locate exactly where they are.

546
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 3: There's a map where and you can go get them.

547
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: What amazing peace of mind that bring about so over

548
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,800

550
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: If there's a business out there and you're looking for

551
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: a worthy worthwhile charity. I can't think of something better.

552
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: This is money saving, life saving, peace of mind providing.

553
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: It's good for providers, it's good for your loved one,

554
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: it's good for you. There is no downside. And I'll

555
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: tell you what. Next time I get my chemo treatment,

556
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm taking over your bandages. The skin tear bandages seniors

557
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: deal with this all. This is one of the first

558
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: things that you and I ever talked about, Patty for

559
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: Heart for Seniors. Senior's skin is frail and it rips easily,

560
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: like a simple band aid will tear the skin, and

561
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: of course that's an opportunity for infection. Of course it's

562
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: a pain in the butt if that's where the bandage was. Anyway,

563
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: But every time I go and I get the line

564
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: put in my arm and then they tape it down,

565
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: and the tape that they use literally rips all of

566
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: the hair off of my arm. And they even warn

567
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: me about it ahead of time. Oh you're gonna get a

568
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna get hair, gonna hurt. Even it's like every

569
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,800
