SUMMARY:Shedding Light On the Risks of Anticholinergic Drugs: New Information on Risk of Dementia and Harm In the Frail Elderly
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Aaron M Tejani is a researcher with the Therapeutics Initiative (co-chair of the Education Working Group and the Drug Assessment Working Group)\, a clinical assistant professor with the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences (University of British Columbia)\, and Medication use evaluation pharmacist with Lower Mainland Pharmacy Services (Vancouver\, BC). He completed his BSc (Pharm) at UBC (Vancouver) and Doctor of Pharmacy degree at Creighton University (Omaha\, Nebraska). \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this session\, participants should be able to: \n\nUtilize existing tools to determine which drugs have anticholinergic properties.\nIdentify subtle and not-so-subtle manifestations on anticholinergic drug toxicity.\nUpdate on new evidence for the risk of dementia and the risk of harm in the frail elderly\nDescribe how indication-based prescribing can help clinicians assess the patients who use anticholinergic drugs.\nUtilize informed consent to ensure patients are aware of the risks associated with use of anticholinergic drugs.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Translation and Public Engagement: Using Theory to Build Practice during the COVID-19 Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Speaker – Dr. Emily Rempel\, Knowledge Translation Lead – BC Centre for Disease Control \nThe COVID-19 ‘infodemic’ has demonstrated the shared value of scientific research and evidence for both policy and public. It’s also shown the risks when knowledge is poorly understood\, contextualized and applied.\nIn this session\, Dr. Emily Rempel will share her experiences working in knowledge translation\, public engagement and misinformation for COVID-19 at the BC Centre for Disease Control. She will contrast theories\, definitions and practices of knowledge translation and public engagement in public health. \nThe session will explore how we can take lessons from the COVID-19 infodemic to create a more effective knowledge translation response in times of crisis. \nLearning objectives: \n1) To explore the spectrum of activities involved in knowledge translation in the public health context.\n2) To define and contrast knowledge translation and public engagement from a theoretical basis.\n3) To examine and evaluate applied examples of knowledge translation and public engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:Brain-Tech 2021: Idea Generation and Hackathon for Brain Wellness
DESCRIPTION:It is our pleasure to announce that the Dynamic Brain Circuits (DBC) in Health and Disease Research Excellence Cluster\, BC Brain Wellness Program\, and the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health (DMCBH) are collaborating to host Brain-Tech 2021: Idea Generation and Hackathon for Brain Wellness. \nDate: Friday\, August 6th and 13th\nTime: 12:30 – 1:30 PM\, August 6th\, 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM\, August 13th\nLocation: Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis virtual event brings together students and researchers from diverse fields to brainstorm and prototype novel applications to support brain wellness. These applications may either improve brain wellness directly through the encouragement of healthy lifestyles or indirectly by contributing to the study and dissemination of brain wellness concepts. Researchers and students studying healthcare\, neuroscience\, computer science\, and biomedical engineering are invited to contribute their unique expertise to this event. It is anticipated that winning teams will develop the concept for an app\, software tool\, or program that will aid the mission of the BC Brain Wellness Program. \nProjects will be judged based on the novelty\, creativity\, impact\, usability\, and polish of their idea/prototype. Project submissions will include a pitch video and accompanying data and/or code that supports the idea. Winning teams will be rewarded with one $100 Amazon.ca gift card for each member (up to 8 members/group).  All uploads of completed projects will be to Open Science Framework. \nTeams can focus on addressing issues within brain health from the category of their choice*: \n\n\nEducation: discovering new ways to educate the public about brain wellness \n\n\nProgram delivery: developing new approaches to how we design brain wellness programs \n\n\nResearch: improving our ability to study brain wellness \n\n\n*More details on each category to come closer to date of the first event \nRegistration\nRegister HERE and join our SLACK GROUP where teams can be formed in advance of the hackathon. Deadline to register is July 30th 11:59pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\nPart 1: Idea Generator\nAug. 6th 2021 \, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM\nA short session where the challenges and problems for each track will be presented and teams can begin interacting and developing their project ideas with the assistance of mentors from the BC Brain Wellness Program and the Dynamic Brain Circuits in Health and Disease Cluster. \nPart 2: Hackathon\nAug 13th 2021  8:00 AM – 12:00 AM\nA daylong event where teams will work to develop their project idea into a functional prototype and/or concept. Project pitches will be submitted via < 5 min videos along with supporting data and code. \nGoals\nAlthough we encourage teams to create a functional prototype of their idea\, the creation of a ready to use application is not the major goal of this event. Instead\, the goal of this event is to develop innovative and novel ways to address brain wellness and (in the process) encourage inter-disciplinary collaboration. The most promising ideas may continue to be developed with the support of the BC Brain Wellness Program and the Dynamic Brain Circuits in Health and Disease Cluster.

SUMMARY:Brain-Tech 2021: Idea Generation and Hackathon for Brain Wellness
DESCRIPTION:It is our pleasure to announce that the Dynamic Brain Circuits (DBC) in Health and Disease Research Excellence Cluster\, BC Brain Wellness Program\, and the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health (DMCBH) are collaborating to host Brain-Tech 2021: Idea Generation and Hackathon for Brain Wellness. \nDate: Friday\, August 6th and 13th\nTime: 12:30 – 1:30 PM\, August 6th\, 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM\, August 13th\nLocation: Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis virtual event brings together students and researchers from diverse fields to brainstorm and prototype novel applications to support brain wellness. These applications may either improve brain wellness directly through the encouragement of healthy lifestyles or indirectly by contributing to the study and dissemination of brain wellness concepts. Researchers and students studying healthcare\, neuroscience\, computer science\, and biomedical engineering are invited to contribute their unique expertise to this event. It is anticipated that winning teams will develop the concept for an app\, software tool\, or program that will aid the mission of the BC Brain Wellness Program. \nProjects will be judged based on the novelty\, creativity\, impact\, usability\, and polish of their idea/prototype. Project submissions will include a pitch video and accompanying data and/or code that supports the idea. Winning teams will be rewarded with one $100 Amazon.ca gift card for each member (up to 8 members/group).  All uploads of completed projects will be to Open Science Framework. \nTeams can focus on addressing issues within brain health from the category of their choice*: \n\n\nEducation: discovering new ways to educate the public about brain wellness \n\n\nProgram delivery: developing new approaches to how we design brain wellness programs \n\n\nResearch: improving our ability to study brain wellness \n\n\n*More details on each category to come closer to date of the first event \nRegistration\nRegister HERE and join our SLACK GROUP where teams can be formed in advance of the hackathon.
