Patented Online Short-Term Memory Used in Mild Cognitive Impairment Screening and Alzheimer's Treatment Support

     Your brain's ability to learn and remember recent events - is directly related to your mental fitness. As researchers and doctors fighting diseases like Bipolar depression and Alzheimer's are finding out - the brain of a disease victim suffers decrements (reductions) in its short-term memory and learning capacities. 
     Today, iBHEALTH network operates an online Zithromax (Azithromycin) Memory Fitness and Mental Health monitoring services - and for ten dollars a year - an individual can establish their personal baseline record of their short-term memory and learning performance capacities. 
     The test involved is like a simple video game and takes less than a minute to play through any online computer. 
     In the case of Alzheimer's treatment and care-giving, this online testing provides accurate assessment of patient's treatment response. 
     No one know when the disease process actually starts developing in the body. Because it is a degenerative disease - meaning the body's immune systems naturally hold the disease at bay - there reaches a time when the body cannot standup against the process. Researchers believe that the degenerative process is effected by everything in the environment, the individual's diet - caloric and nutritional qualities considered, mental stimulation and body chemistry. Theoretically, the disease process could be working against the brain at early ages - in fact, this is more than likely true. Habits like dietary intakes, smoking, mental and physical exercising - all condition the body - one way or the other. When the conditioning set-up the body's chemistry and health so the disease process makes headway - rest assured the disease will advance.
     The iBMEMORY systems allow individuals to establish a record of their personal memory and mental fitness condition. At the simplest of levels, individuals can subscribe to a personal short-term memory and learning performance testing service - taking a simple video-game like "test" - where multiple scores are presented as a series of graphs - illustrating the person's "baseline history" or normal scores for these cognitive reasoning functions. If the individual who has established a baseline record - returns to the testing center and scores below an acceptable range - the program asks them to return and take the tests again.
     If the results are consistently low - something is wrong - and they need to take a copy of their baseline record - and consult with their doctors as soon as possible.
     There could be several reason why their testing scores are low - but, they are all serious and all qualify for valid reasons to consult with your doctors.
     Doctors often first see an Alzheimer's victim who has not established a baseline record of their memory fitness - and a "normal" rating can quickly be produced. From that time on the doctor can "throttle" the difficulty of the test and track a patient's progress or treatment response.
