Apple Watch seniors guide 2023 : an insanely simple manual for the non-tech-savvy to master the latest Apple Watch and WatchOS8 in no time / by Walton, Craig,author.; Apple Computer, Inc.;

Everybody loves Apple Watch, even older people who do not find it as easy to use as the other, but it's not because they are difficult or people aren't smart enough to use all the features they need. There is another problem that really makes all the difference. And here it is... The truth is... Older people are used to learning in completely different ways than younger ones, so they can't learn using the same methods teenagers and young adults are using.

Our big, fat, sick health care system: the need for change -- Part I: Sensors -- Making sense of sensors -- Doc-in-the-box -- The failing heart, the dying patient, and implantable sensors -- The smartwatch era -- Continuous care and novel sensors: a recipe for health -- Part II: Virtual care -- Telehealth: fad or here to stay? -- Are we breaking the bank? -- The deepening divide -- Digital privacy - an oxymoron? -- Part III: Artificial intelligence -- Demystifying AI -- Creating the AI culture -- Lazy, stupid, biased, or smarter? -- Predicting and preventing death -- Fixes, failures, and the future -- Part IV: Making our system sustainable -- The value proposition and incentivizing change -- Choosing the right path -- Future models of care -- Hospital of the future.A brief examination of how new and advanced technologies can change the world of medicine for the better. Future care is virtual care: sensor-aided, digitally enabled, and powered by predictive analytics. Like most facets of modern life, human organs, too, are being digitally monitored. Sensors are well on their way to helping us proactively capture the information needed to predict and prevent disease. Paired with the medical world's growing emphasis on wellness and prevention, the digital revolution will help us effectively monitor and address the chronic diseases that have been the Achilles' heel of the health care system to date. This large-scale transition is not only going to reshape the patient-physician relationship but also dramatically change how hospitals and the business of medicine operate. --Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-297) and index.

Undoctored : why health care has failed you and how you can become smarter than your doctor / by Davis, William,1957-author.(CARDINAL)399005;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 363-385) and index.Chimpanzees, parasites, travel agents, and stockbrokers --Who took the "health" out of health care? --With friends like these... --Any doctors in Undoctored? --You've got company : information, community, and collaboration --A return to our grainless roots --Meat, fire, fat, and other essentials --From herbs, enema bags, and pliers to apps, smartwatches, and DIY genetics --Eating while wild, naked, and unwashed --Wild, naked, and unwashed: 6 weeks of recipes --Wild, naked, and unwashed: cultivate your bowel flora garden --Wild, naked and unwashed: nutritional supplements to correct deficiencies --A final health hodgepodge: sleep, exercise, toxin avoidance, and breaking weight plateaus --Breathe, drink water, and be undoctored --Appendix: Undoctored protocols: additional steps to take in specific health situations ; Hidden sources of grains and safe sweeteners ; Additional recipes: magnesium water and fermenting vegetables.In his New York Times bestseller "Wheat Belly," Dr. William Davis changed the lives of millions of people by teaching them to remove wheat from their diet to reverse years of chronic health damage. Now he'll go beyond cutting wheat to help you take charge of your own overall health in "Undoctored." Dr. Davis wants you to understand that conventional medicine is no longer working in your favor. He will expose how millions of people are prescribed unnecessary medications, given dietary recommendations crafted by big business, and undergo unnecessary procedures recommended by healthcare practitioners to feed revenue-hungry healthcare systems. He then shows how the modern boom in information tools can be applied to create a comprehensive program to reduce, reverse, and cure common health issues through simple strategies, including harnessing the collective wisdom of new online technologies, so that you can break free of a health care system that puts profits over health. "Undoctored" is the spark of a new individually-empowered health care movement. The results of Dr. Davis' 6-week program are superior to solutions provided by the conventional healthcare system. You will be equipped to manage your own health and sidestep the misguided motives of a profit-driven medical system.
