How do you care for someone properly in a hospital or care home if you don't know who they are? With US hospitals and care homes seeing fast turnovers of staff, many clinicians don't get the chance to learn their residents' backstories. This can lead to patients feeling isolated and misunderstood. Meanwhile, staff miss out on valuable insights which could be incorporated into treatment plans or used to make someone's hospital stay more comfortable. But a start-up called MemoryWell is working to fix this by hiring professional writers to create short biographies of residents that get pinned up on their walls. It's helping staff personalise care for patients and it's led to valuable points of connection at what can be a difficult and lonely time.

Jay Newton-Small is the CEO and founder of MemoryWell, a national network of more than 700 writers who tell the life stories of seniors to help improve their care. On this episode of How We Got Here, Jay talks about her father's Alzheimer's diagnosis, the ways caregiving affected her mother's health, and how her perspective on caregiving changed once she became his primary caregiver. She explains the accommodations she made in order to keep her father safe in her home and the moment she realized she could no longer care for him on her own. Jay also discloses both the challenging and humorous moments caring for her dad and how the experience led to the creation of MemoryWell. She explains how storytelling can transform our outcomes-driven healthcare system and help us increase empathy for others. Chris and Jay reflect on practicing forgiveness in caregiving--both to oneself and to those on the receiving end of care. Tap here for more information on MemoryWell.

Jay Newton-Small, CEO and Founder of MemoryWell, a digital storytelling platform for seniors, speaks to George on this episode of DC Entrepreneur. You'll hear how Newton-Small got the idea for the start-up when filling out paperwork to get her father into assisted care after he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. As a TIME Magazine correspondent, journalist, and author of Broad Influence, she wrote his story down to help her father's caregivers understand his past better. In this conversation, Jay talks about how MemoryWell worked with Brookdale Senior Living for their pilot program, how she bootstrapped the idea through Kickstarter and by winning pitch competitions before focusing on fundraising, and how her involvement through accelerators such as TechStars and the Halcyon Incubator helped her learn to build a business.

In this episode, host Kerry Amato speaks with Jay Newton-Small, CEO of MemoryWell. Jay and Kerry discuss the idea behind MemoryWell, Jay's personal experience caring for a parent with Alzheimer's disease, and how MemoryWell can help patients and caregivers uncover unexplored social determinants of health and behavioral health issues. Like many healthcare innovations, MemoryWell began as a passion-project borne from a poor healthcare experience, specifically recording a lifetime history as her father entered a care home. Rather than reducing a lifetime to a series of short answers to generic questions on a form, MemoryWell connects people with professional writers to help them construct full, rich stories of their loved ones' lives to guide people interacting with them, whether professional caregivers or distant relatives.The podcast highlights the story of transforming an idea into a business, from deciding who your customers are to scaling processes to move beyond a boutique service. But more than providing a needed service, we discuss how the process for helping create rich stories can also produce output with enough consistency and structure to be mined for information relevant to ongoing care. For MemoryWell, that includes discerning social determinants of health (SDOH) data from the life stories they create, even for more traditional patients and not just those entering long-term care. We also discuss how stories can help people and families recall when behavioral changes may have begun leading to richer histories, and often, a better understanding of the progression of health conditions. Families often find that by working closely with a professional questioner, they can recall and identify patterns that might be indicative of undiagnosed behavioral health issues, leading not just to better understanding but possibly spurring better care for problems that might have otherwise gone unnoticed in the confines of a care setting.One of the most interesting angles of this story for Accelerate Health is how it highlights the contribution to care that non-healthcare professionals can make. Often, one of the blind-spots for healthcare innovators is all the important things that influence a patient when they are outside of the walls of a hospital or a doctor’s office. And perhaps more importantly, that many people have skills that can contribute to a patient’s overall care, even if they aren’t part of the medical staff. Appropriately leveraging non-medical experts where possible is a frequently overlooked accelerator of innovation.

Thank you to our sponsor Home Instead Senior Care-East Portland & Clackamas County!  This episode is part two of the conversation Phil and I start in episode 109: The Randy Rainbow Debacle. That episode gives you the backstory and context to fully appreciate this episode, so if you haven't already, go check out episode 109 first. As our Phil Phans know, he's a columnist for MemoryWell. In his most recent column, Phil shares more of his thoughts and feelings about the Randy Rainbow-related incident that sparked these two podcast episodes, plus he adds a sort of post script to the story that gave me a great big smile. So, definitely go check out Phil's column on MemoryWell. And as usual, everything is linked up in the show notes for your convenience. Just go over to DementiaSherpa.com/episode110. Meanwhile, in this episode, Phil says we go “off the rails.” I prefer to think of it as a little color commentary. Where else can you tune in to get an insider's thoughts on living with a neurodegenerative disorder, plus catch the host do a weird yet oddly appropriate mash up of Hank Kingsley and Joey Tribbiani--and then have it all tied together with a big purple bow at the end? Enjoy!

The senior healthcare space is ripe for innovation. In this episode, the hosts meet with Jay Newton-Small, founder of MemoryWell to discuss how her family inspired her move from journalism to founding a startup that helps to preserve the stories and integrity of Alzheimer's and dementia patients.

Transcript at DementiaSherpa.com/Episode102. We start by answering a listener's excellent question about the fine line between helping and creating learned dependency, which leads to Phil to talking about a symptom that you may not know is related to Alzheimer's and a few other types of neurodegenerative disorders.  Phil also tells about "doing a little bit of writing for...a website called the MemoryWell, where people are hired to write stories for folks who have dementia" and a situation he encountered related to that: "[She] is 94 and in a memory care facility. [Her daughter] was describing her mother's life and how...she doesn't remember that her husband has passed away and she's always asking about him.” So we also discuss that situation and ways to handle it in this episode.

Each of us has a story to tell…a most important story, that is, the story of our lives. But as we age, and especially if our fate includes a disability like Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, then that story can easily get lost or jumbled. That’s where a new service called MemoryWell comes in. MemoryWell is the brainchild of Jay Newton-Small, an entrepreneur with a long and successful career in journalism. While caring for her own late father, who suffered from Alzheimers, Jay used her writing skills to tell his story in a way that burdensome questionnaires just can’t do. His caregivers loved it, and it totally transformed the quality of care he received. Now MemoryWell is available to all of us, and here to tell us about it is inventor, entrepreneur, and professional journalist Jay Newton-Small. Copyright © 2018 by Danbra LLC. All rights reserved.

Jay Newton-Small is co-founder and CEO of MemoryWell, a network of professional journalists who are using their writing talents to tell the stories of those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These stories help caregivers preserve memories and care for people who have memory related health problems. With the number of people in the US with Alzheimer's and memory related illnesses at a staggering 11M, and expected to triple by 2030, this is one of the biggest health problems we are facing. Previously, Jay was the Washington correspondent for TIME Magazine and a journalist for Bloomberg News. Jay is also the author of Broad Influence: How Women Are Changing the Way America Works. In today's show, we discuss Jay's inspiration for founding Memorywell, Jay's start up journey, and we dive into the some of the powerful ideas from Jay's book. Broad Influence examines the concept of critical mass: when women are at least 20 percent of a group, they are more able to use their strengths on the job such as communication, compromising, collaborating across party lines and forming alliances.  As you can probably imagine, these are all skills that can be tremendously useful within many types of organizations. We also discuss a fact many ladies are not aware of, public service roles across 40 states are actually ideal for flexibility and part time hours!

Caring for patients with memory loss or dementia can be challenging for even the most attentive, well-meaning caregiver. We meet Jay Newton-Small, a journalist whose new business aims to improve the lives of seniors with a new online resource called MemoryWell; in it, writers tell the stories of those who can’t tell their own. We also hear from Bertina Hanna, head of a caregiving team that uses MemoryWell, about the impact it can have on working with patients.
