Five highly recommended sessions on brain, health, wellness, big data, and brain fitness centers

March 7, 2013 by Alvaro Fernandez

Thank you to the 118 sharp minds who have already ordered their $15 tick­ets to cel­e­brate Brain Aware­ness Week by watch­ing the lat­est on neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty, brain health and inno­va­tion. We need many more well-informed ambas­sadors of brain health and cog­ni­tive fit­ness, and are proud to expand the con­ver­sa­tion that took place at the 2012 Sharp­Brains Vir­tu­al Sum­mit.

Among all the online pre­sen­ta­tions now avail­able (check out full Sum­mit Agen­da), let me share the five that impressed me the most. Each one pro­vides an excel­lent entry point into the wealth of infor­ma­tion and insights shared by 40+ speak­ers, so you can select the one most rel­e­vant to your inter­ests, and start watch­ing there. (If you don’t have your pass yet, click here to order one).

  • How will Health incor­po­rate Brain? What will it take for the brain to receive as much atten­tion and proac­tive care as the heart does, both as a key organ on its own and as a key enabler of health.
  • How Nation­wide Insur­ance rolled-out a Brain-based Cor­po­rate Well­ness Ini­tia­tive. An in-depth case study out­lin­ing busi­ness ratio­nale, ven­dor selec­tion, pilot test and roll-out, and return-on-investment.
  • How will the era of Big Data and Glob­al Vir­tual Access trans­form brain health? What are the oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges to improve stan­dards of brain and men­tal health care in light of emerg­ing dig­i­tal tools and glob­al access to exper­tise and inte­grated data­bases that enable detec­tion and long-term mon­i­tor­ing through analy­sis of vari­a­tions in genet­ics, brain struc­ture, brain func­tion, and behavior?
  • What paths to mar­ket and busi­ness mod­els will enable the com­mer­cial­iza­tion of research-based inno­va­tion? Three inno­va­tors with com­bined research + busi­ness “hats” will dis­cuss their respec­tive paths to mar­ket, includ­ing technology/ con­tent licens­ing, strate­gic con­tracts and grants, and ven­ture capital.
  • How to Set Up a Brain Fit­ness Cen­ter to Enhance Cog­ni­tive Retrain­ing and Reha­bil­i­ta­tion. Learn the nuts and bolts of open­ing a rehab-ori­ent­ed “brain fit­ness cen­ter”, includ­ing staffing, mea­sure­ment of behavioral/ cog­ni­tive out­comes, selec­tion and roll­out of inter­ven­tions, and inte­gra­tion of cen­ter-based with home-based use. Learn the obsta­cles and tips for repli­cat­ing such a cen­ter in a satel­lite location.

–> You can ORDER A $15 PASS NOW (reg­u­lar price is $295). Pass hold­ers receive two-month log-in access to the online pre­sen­ta­tions, begin­ning on March 11th.
