Reimagining the idea of ageing: A life of dignity and desires
Advanced medicines, healthcare, technology, and more have enabled people to live longer than ever before, but this also raises an important question: are the additional years truly enjoyable and enriching? Rethinking the idea of longevity is not just important, but crucial. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It is essential to understand the true meaning and quality of the years during which people grow older. The question of how one should be treated and the importance of being heard is something worth exploring. A space that listens to the aspirations of the senior care sector is crucial for uplifting a field that is set to grow rapidly in the coming years. Ageing well not only means having good physical health but also ensuring healthy mental and cognitive well-being, emotional support, financial security, and strong social connections. To understand and highlight the importance of this reimagining of ageing, a survey was conducted during the 5th Ageing Festival in Bengaluru, organised by the along with McKinsey & Company as knowledge partners. The survey effectively brought together the voices of seniors across India, who are now far more focused on 'ageing well' than simply on how long they live. The survey also highlighted how seniors are increasingly embracing technology, with more than half of them using smartphones for activities like online shopping and engaging on platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook. However, the issue of trust in healthcare still remains significant. Many seniors emphasized the importance of access to dependable doctors and expressed apprehension about being overprescribed medications. These insights come at a time when India's senior care landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, blending residential living, healthcare services, and hospitality to better serve the evolving needs of the elderly population. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The data was gathered from residents living in senior living communities run by ASLI members across the country. Respondents listed mental and cognitive health as their top concern, closely followed by physical wellbeing, financial security, safety, and the challenge of loneliness. These findings clearly show that older adults not only wish to live longer, but also hope to spend their later years with meaning, activity, and stability. This evolving view of ageing demands a shift in how society supports its elders, not just through medical care but by designing ecosystems that encourage independence, purpose, and inclusion. As more seniors express a desire to remain active and valued, it becomes essential for communities, policymakers, and service providers to reimagine ageing as a stage of potential, not limitation. The goal of ageing should not only be ensuring good medical care but also recognising that older people seek the warmth of social bonds, the comfort of being heard, and the joy of living their later years with dreams and aspirations. Because there is no age for desire, and no limit to living a life full of emotion, understanding, and dignity. Ultimately, it's a message not just for the senior care population but for all age groups, to plan not only for their physical well-being in their older days but also to reimagine the way those years are usually spent. It is about aspiring for new things and unique opportunities, where one is not just living but creating a space where elders flourish. A similar reflection continues this year with the ASLI 6th Ageing Fest. A space where stories are heard and aspirations matter. For more details, please visit:

How a one-minute jolt can offer hope to those with auto-immune disease
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a medical device recently that offers new hope to patients incapacitated by rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic condition often resistant to treatment and usually managed with medications. The device represents a radical departure from standard care, tapping the power of the brain and nervous system to tamp down the uncontrolled inflammation that leads to the debilitating autoimmune disease. The SetPoint System is an inch-long device surgically implanted into the neck, where it sits in a pod wrapped around the vagus nerve, which some scientists believe is the longest nerve in the body. The device electrically stimulates the nerve for one minute each day. The stimulation can turn off crippling inflammation and 'reset' the immune system, research has shown. Most drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis suppress the immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to serious infections. On a recent episode of the American College of Rheumatology podcast, the SetPoint implant was described as a 'true paradigm shift' in treatment of the disease, which until now has relied almost entirely on an evolving set of pharmaceutical interventions, from gold salts to biologics. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The FDA designated the implant as a breakthrough last year to expedite its development and approval. It represents an early test of the promise of so-called bioelectronic medicine to modulate inflammation, which plays a key role in diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Clinical trials are already underway testing vagus nerve stimulation to manage inflammatory bowel disease in children, lupus and other conditions. Trials for patients with multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease are also planned. In a yearlong randomised controlled trial of 242 patients that included a sham-treatment arm, over half of the participants using the SetPoint implant alone achieved remission or saw their disease recede. Measures of joint pain and swelling fell by 60% and 63% respectively. The device's long-term effectiveness and safety outside a clinical trial are not yet known. The FDA required post-marketing monitoring of patients and adverse events as part of the approval. Surgery involving implants can lead to serious infections resistant to antibiotics, experts noted. For Dawn Steiner, 58, a speech pathologist, who participated in the clinical trial, the implant has been a game changer. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 15 years ago and has tried eight different biologic agents since then. 'Before the implant, the doctor would ask where I was in terms of pain on a scale of one to 10, and I would say I was living a six or seven,' she said. 'Now I'm about a two.' The SetPoint device is the product of decades of research spearheaded by Dr Kevin J Tracey, a neurosurgeon who is president and chief executive of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health. Tracey co-founded SetPoint Medical, but now serves as an adviser. He describes the vagus nerve, which originates in the brain and travels to virtually all the organs of the body, as an 'on-off switch' for an overactive immune system. 'The brain can turn off inflammation as long as the vagus nerve is intact,' he said. 'It's like a brake system in your car.' Dr David Chernoff, chief medical officer of SetPoint Medical, said, 'Drugs find a pathway that contributes to damaging joints in RA patients and try to block it. What we're doing is completely different. We're re-educating the immune system through the brain to behave differently,' he added. As a result, he said, 'we're not blocking the ability to fight off infection.' The body needs some level of inflammation, Tracey said, to help heal wounds, fight infections and promote tissue repair. The price has not been disclosed, but a spokeswoman said it was designed to last for 10 years and would be less expensive than a year's worth of some rheumatoid arthritis drugs, which can be quite costly. One key question is whether the implant's effectiveness will wane over time, said Dr Lou Bridges, chief of the division of rheumatology at the Hospital for Special Surgery and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. 'It's still early days. The proof will be in the pudding,' he said. 'I'm hoping they are correct, and this is a revolutionary new way to treat RA without drugs and without side effects. But I've heard this story before. ' nyt news service By: Dr David Chernoff, CMO, SetPoint Medical

Soap recall: Contaminated products by DermaRite may cause deadly infections, all you need to know
A major soap recall is happening across America over deadly infection risks. DermaRite Industries pulled four types of antiseptic and antimicrobial soaps after finding dangerous bacteria in them. The products could cause 'life-threatening sepsis', a severe body-wide infection, especially when used on open wounds. Though no illnesses are reported yet, the company warns people to stop using these soaps immediately. The problem bacteria is called Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), which lives in soil and water and resists many antibiotics. These medical soaps were sold nationwide and in Puerto Rico, often used in hospitals, nursing homes, and homes for wound care. Health officials say destroying the products is crucial to prevent potential tragedies. The hidden danger targets people with health challenges most. Healthy users might only get skin infections from the contaminated soaps, but immunocompromised people could develop deadly bloodstream infections. Burkholderia cepacia is especially risky for those with cystic fibrosis, lung disease, cancer, or recent surgeries. Symptoms range from nothing to fever, coughing up blood, or severe pneumonia. The FDA explains these bacteria spread easily through contaminated water or products. DermaRite hasn't revealed how the bacteria got into their soaps, but testing confirmed the contamination. Customers should watch for breathing problems or unusual fatigue after using these products. Experts note this recall highlights ongoing quality control issues in medical soap manufacturing. DermaKleen: Antiseptic lotion soap with Vitamin E DermaSarra: Itch-relief soap for irritated skin KleenFoam: Antibacterial foam for handwashing after diaper changes or caring for sick people PeriGiene: Perineal cleanser for sensitive private areas All were sold in plastic bottles online and through medical suppliers. The soaps were meant to protect vulnerable people but now pose serious risks. DermaRite urges businesses and households to check storage areas immediately. Don't donate or resell these products – the company advises destroying them using safety protocols like autoclaving or chemical treatment. Photos of the recalled items are on the FDA's website to help identification. Stop using all recalled products immediately Destroy them following your facility's hazardous material rules Contact DermaRite at (973) 569-9000 x104 or Report any health reactions to the FDA's MedWatch program If you used these soaps on wounds and feel sick, see a doctor right away. Mention the soap recall since Burkholderia infections need specific antibiotics. For extra protection, switch to alternative antiseptics like chlorhexidine-based products while avoiding recalled items. The FDA continues investigating how widespread the contamination is.
