On hold??

If you’re a caregiver, you are most likely looking for any and every time saver you can find. Here’s a great tip from an excellent time management seminar I attended today!

Are you tired of automated phone systems? Just want to talk to a human being, but pressing ‘0’ doesn’t get you there? Well, gethuman.com will soon be your friend! The site lists bypass codes for hundreds of companies and organizations (including the government agencies). AND, if they don’t have the info, they’ll get it for you!

Say goodbye to confusing menu options and farewell to frustration! Finally, you can talk to a human being without wading through layers and layers of menus and instructions!

Exciting news today from the annual SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin.

In the annual Accelerator competition, Neurotrack, a web-based tool said to be capable of diagnosing ALZ well in advance of initial symptoms, was named the most innovative online health technology of 2013. It uses a computer-based recognition memory test with eye tracking, and developers are hopeful it will enable researchers to target qualified candidates for clinical trials and ultimately diagnose patients early enough to begin treatment before the damage is done.
