Alzheimer's disease affects a significant number of Americans over 65—more than 7 million—and is the sixth leading cause of death in that age group. It's expected that more than 13 million people will be diagnosed by 2060. Beyond Alzheimer's, roughly 10% of U.S. adults over 65 have dementia.  On this podcast we talked with Dr. Ronald Petersen, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic and an expert in Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders, and Jennifer Rosen, vice president for state affairs at the Alzheimer's Association. Joining the podcast to offer the legislative perspective were Senator Laura Murphy of Illinois, a Democrat, and Senator T.J. Shope of Arizona, a Republican.  Dr Petersen explained the remarkable progress that has been made in recent years in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's and the importance of early intervention. Rosen outlined the enormous financial impact of the disease on society, and the role state legislatures can play in supporting early detection and treatment.  Senators Shope and Murphy each laid out the legislation enacted in their states and how that legislation will aid both people with the disease and their families.  Resources Alzheimer's Disease Treatment Clinic, Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Association Comprehensive Policy Approaches to Support the Aging Population, NCSL State Policy Approaches to Improving Alzheimer's and Dementia Care, NCSL State Strategies to Reduce Costs and Provide Quality Care for Older Adults and People with Disabilities, NCSL

This research paper introduces DeepSeek-R1, a large language model (LLM) enhanced for reasoning capabilities using reinforcement learning (RL). A preliminary model, DeepSeek-R1-Zero, utilised RL without initial supervised fine-tuning, showcasing inherent reasoning abilities despite readability issues. DeepSeek-R1 addresses these limitations through multi-stage training incorporating cold-start data, achieving performance comparable to OpenAI's o1-1217. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the successful distillation of DeepSeek-R1's reasoning capabilities into smaller, more efficient LLMs. The researchers open-source their models and data to foster further research in this area.

Harmony Healthcare IT, described by CEO Tom Liddell as an "enterprise data management solution," has expanded over time from archiving health care data and decommissioning systems to management secondary uses, and especially AI, which "allows us to think in different ways." At the CHIME Fall Forum conference, Liddell talks in this video of the "life cycle of data" and how it is often important to have quick access to data that is stored deep in an archive, even if the data isn't being used day to day.  Every healthcare organization has hundreds of IT systems storing health data, and having a thoughtful approach to archiving legacy applications is important.  Key to this decision is the quality of the data being archived, the costs saved by sunsetting legacy applications, and the security of the data archiving solution.  Finding the right partner that can do all of these is essential. Harmony Healthcare IT consolidates data stored in many different places and robustly removes the unneeded old storage and applications. By centralizing control over data, the service improves security, reduces costs, and helps organizations maximize their use and therefore the value of their data. This is "data management for life."

Tranzaura, a leading global fleet management firm, has announced the launch of its industry-first AI-powered fleet intelligence software that will reduce costs for transport and fleet companies and improve their operational efficiency by up to 30%. The first-of-its-kind in the industry, FleetNow delivers accurate and actionable intelligence in real-time, identifying where fleet managers can make data-driven decisions, by tracking major expenses like fuel, vehicle maintenance, compliance and labour. The software maximises efficiency, allowing transport and fleet companies to get more done, faster and with fewer resources, resulting in reduced costs and increased profitability. Driven by the success of FleetNow, Tranzaura is set for significant growth with plans to expand its workforce by 50% over the next 12 months, adding to its current headcount of 22 employees. Irish fleet sector The fleet sector in Ireland represents a multi-billion euro market annually, with a market size ranging between €3 - 5 billion per year, according to industry data. FleetNow was developed by Tranzaura to address the longstanding industry challenge of disconnected data and fragmented systems that slow down and inhibit the decisions of the majority of transport and fleet management companies globally. The total number of registered vehicles in Ireland is approximately 2.8 million, around 700,000 or 25% of those vehicles are business or fleet vehicles. This includes a wide range of fleet vehicles, from delivery vans to heavy trucks, operating in various industries across the country. At any given time, there are at least 100,000 commercial vehicles registered for fleet operations on Irish roads. Delivering precise data The Limerick-based firm, which has operations in Ireland, the UK and Australia, forecasts that FleetNow will deliver precise data on a fleet's performance and outgoing costs up to 20-times faster than competing fleet management systems. The software will save fleet professionals up to 80-hours in administration a month, according to Tranzaura, who expect demand for the software to reach at least 500 global fleets in its first year. The software can deliver and pinpoint intelligence like usage, carbon savings or when a vehicle will need maintenance, helping fleet managers identify, for example, how they can better manage their carbon emissions. A significant step forward FleetNow is Tranzaura's response to the growing need for faster fleet intelligence and better decision-making, and represents a significant step forward for the company, which has become a global leader in fleet management software since its founding in 2010. This new AI-powered innovation enhances Tranzaura's legacy, building on its existing software used by 65% of the iconic red buses in London, 36% of all buses across England, and leading fleet operators like Travis Perkins and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Commenting on the launch of FleetNow, Shane Mann, Tranzaura CEO said: "Today's fleet operators are overwhelmed with technology options, each collecting a vast amount of data from various sources. While the potential for insights is immense, many fleet companies are struggling to make sense of it all. The problem is made worse by a patchwork of disconnected systems that don't communicate effectively." "FleetNow is the first-of-its-kind solution to this massive industry-wide problem. It is a next-generation software that goes beyond traditional fleet management, which often focuses solely on siloed technology and digital processes. Instead, FleetNow combines the power of AI and connected data to drive operational efficiency and smarter decision-making." "Currently, fleet professionals spend hours upon hours each month manually pooling data across multiple disparate systems and spreadsheets attempting to spot trends and problems, manage costs and assess risks. In many cases, this leads to hours of work, unreliable data and money wasted." See more stories here.

Health systems are struggling with major financial headwinds that have shrunk already thin operating margins. IT can and must take a multi-pronged approach to help organizations pursue the Quadruple Aim -- reducing costs, improving population health and patient experience, and improving team well-being. First off, IT must look internally at its own budget to make sure any bloat is removed; secondly it must look throughout the organization to ensure deployed applications and other assets aren't duplicative or redundant; and finally it must analyze current paper-based workflows to determine if an infusion of technology can increase revenue by improving things like scheduling and, thus, throughput.

In politically progressive circles, a strange phenomenon can occur. Supply skepticism, the belief that housing prices are divorced from impacts to housing supply, abounds. On this week's EcoNews Report, Professor Vicki Been from the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, joins to discuss her metaanalysis of research into the relationship between housing supply and cost. (Hint: More housing moderates housing costs, generally.)Required Reading: Supply Skepticism (2018)Supply Skepticism Revisited (2023)Support the show

Here's the dream: Millions of EVs plugged into their charging docks, working in concert to relieve stress on the world's power grids. They reduce charging load or even inject energy back onto the grid. They back up renewables when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine.  That's the vision for managed charging, or V1G, and vehicle-to-grid, or V2G. There's also a third technology called vehicle-to-home that allows an EV battery to power a building, just like a home battery. Collectively these technologies are called V2X. There's reason to think this V2X dream could become a reality. They're already happening at small scales. And when they reach larger scales, the cumulative impact could be big. A recent Nature study found that by 2030 the total battery capacity across the world's mobile batteries could be more than two terawatt hours, climbing to more than 30 terawatt hours by 2050. But first, these technologies need to overcome some big barriers—costly grid upgrades, degrading batteries, drivers worried about being left without a charge—just to name a few.  So what will V2X actually look like? In this episode, Shayle talks to Ty Jagerson, leader of V2X at GM. They cover topics like: The contracts GM is signing with customers to manage their charging Reassuring EV owners that managed charging is not going to leave them without a charge What kind of compensation EV owners could get for V2G and whether the value to companies will be worth the costs The carrots and sticks of V2G: compensation and time-of-use charges Whether V2G will be more valuable for capacity or energy markets Whether V2G will degrade batteries and violate manufacturer warranties Recommended Resources: Canary Media: Is ​‘vehicle-to-everything' charging ready for prime time?
