Summary
This summary is machine-generated.New Mexico launched the World Health Organization's Independent Care for Older People (ICOPE) program to empower seniors with person-centered care. This initiative utilizes a smartphone app and community partnerships to enhance healthy aging and reduce healthcare system visits.
Area Of Science
- Gerontology
- Public Health
- Health Informatics
Background
- The World Health Organization's Independent Care for Older People (ICOPE) program aims to improve senior health and independence.
- New Mexico's healthcare system sought innovative solutions for healthy aging and prevention.
Purpose Of The Study
- To detail the implementation of the ICOPE program in New Mexico.
- To describe the development of algorithms and a smartphone application for senior self-assessment and care management.
- To outline the evaluation framework for the ICOPE program's effectiveness and sustainability.
Main Methods
- Development of strategic and project plans based on the ICOPE manual (2025, 2nd ed.).
- Creation of algorithms addressing intrinsic capacities and key health factors (urinary incontinence, social support).
- Design of a smartphone application for home-based assessments and integration with community/primary care services.
- Evaluation using the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM).
Main Results
- A comprehensive strategic plan, organizational structure, and project plan were established.
- Algorithms were developed to guide care and a smartphone application was created for senior self-assessment.
- The system architecture and data flow were defined for seamless integration.
- The PRISM model will guide the measurement of implementation, reach, and impact on care experience, population health, and costs.
Conclusions
- The New Mexico ICOPE program represents a strategic effort to integrate technology and community resources for enhanced senior care.
- The developed algorithms and smartphone application facilitate person-centered, preventative care, potentially reducing healthcare utilization.
- The PRISM framework provides a robust structure for evaluating the program's long-term success and impact on healthy aging.

This is a protocol for acute slice preparation from adult and aging mouse hippocampi that takes advantage of transcardial perfusion and slice cutting with ice-cold NMDG-aCSF to reduce hypoxic damage to the tissue. The resulting slices stay healthy over many hours, and are suitable for long-term patch-clamp and...
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...
This experimental protocol demonstrates the use of virtual prism adaptation therapy (VPAT) in healthy adults and the association between VPAT and functional near infrared spectroscopy to determine the effect of VPAT on cortical activation. Results suggest that VPAT may be feasible and could induce similar behavioral adaptation as conventional prism adaptation...

Here, we present a protocol designed to show how negative aging stereotypes can impair memory performance of older adults during cognitive testing and how to reduce this deleterious effect. This method can help older people to perform at an optimal level during testing in both lab studies and clinical...
