Prescribing and deprescribing to sustain brain health in older adults
This event is in the past.
Join WSU, Institute of Gerontology 2023 Spring Colloquia Series for:
Prescribing and Deprescribing to Sustain Brain Health in Older Adults
Presented by
Noll Campbell, PhD
Associate Professor for Pharmacy Practice, Purdue University, Faculty Associate, Indiana University Center on Center on Aging and Life Course
With a research focus on medication use that optimizes brain health, Dr. Campbell will address ongoing and future research activities within his lab that intend to prevent cognitive impairment and improve decisions about medications use in older persons. This will be accomplished by identifying the potential patterns of antihypertensive treatments that may reduce the risk of dementia. Next, Dr. Campbell will identify medications thought to contribute to dementia risk and an ongoing study testing the impact of a deprescribing intervention on cognition in community-dwelling older adults. A description of the flow of the intervention and lessons learned to date will follow. Lastly, a brief description of tech-based approaches to deprescribing will also be introduced to round out the session.
