Microsoft Copilot for Older Adults
Warren and Merwin discussed the use of Microsoft Copilot, a tool that helps users create content and engage with AI through chat features. They explored how Copilot could assist older adults in accessing information and creating content from home, addressing concerns about digital dementia by referencing studies that show benefits of technology use. Merwin shared insights about short-form video content and its potential for therapeutic applications, while Warren demonstrated how to access Copilot through different Microsoft applications and browsers.
Copilot Technical Demonstration Challenges
Warren and Merwin discussed how to use Copilot, focusing on sharing screens and prompts between Word and Zoom. They encountered some technical difficulties but eventually managed to input and run a prompt through Copilot. Merwin suggested using a simpler prompt from Warren’s previous email, which Warren agreed would be easier to demonstrate. They considered posting a document with steps for others to follow, as the direct demonstration through Copilot was not yielding the most useful results.
AI Brain Health Assessment Tool
Warren and Merwin discussed creating a brain health snapshot tool using AI, initially exploring Copilot but finding it ineffective. They successfully created a downloadable Word document template through ChatGPT that could be used for patient brain health assessments. Warren explained that while this approach aligns with lifestyle medicine principles, it would be challenging for typical primary care practitioners to implement due to time constraints and limited reimbursement.
Digital Health Assessment Initiatives
Warren and Merwin discussed using QR codes to create a digital form for collecting health assessments, emphasizing the importance of honesty and self-reflection in evaluating daily energy, mood patterns, sleep routines, physical activity, social connections, mental stimulation, stress levels, and long-term health goals. Warren shared insights from a recent lecture series at UC Irvine on brain health and aging, highlighting the significance of sleep, exercise, and social connections in preventing cognitive decline. They also touched on the potential for collaboration with UC Irvine researchers and the importance of making scientific knowledge accessible to the public.
