Nearly 60 percent of the population in Germany has low health literacy, according to a study. Many find it difficult to inform themselves about health topics, evaluate information, and apply it in their daily lives. The advantages of acquiring health literacy are obvious. For example, health and illness problems can be managed more successfully. It has been proven that those who strengthen their health literacy benefit in many ways.
Erst kürzlich hat digiDEM Bayern den Fragenbogen zur ”Beurteilung der Gedächtnisleistung” vorgestellt. Heute möchten wir Sie auf unser neuestes digitales Informationsangebot aufmerksam machen: den Wissenstest Demenz. In unserem Webinar dazu erfahren Sie alles Wichtige über den digiDEM Bayern-Beitrag zur Förderung der digitalen Gesundheitskompetenz. Der Wissenstest dauert 15 Minuten und ist in leicht verständlicher Form kostenfrei auf digiDEM-Bayern.de abrufbar.
Do people with Alzheimer's dementia live in nursing homes? Can thirty-year-olds develop Alzheimer's dementia? The knowledge test with 30 questions, for example, from the areas of risk factors, care and support, as well as symptoms or disease progression, shows which statements are true or false. When you answer the questions, you will receive a scientifically supported explanation for each of your assessments and, after completing the test, a summary and detailed overview of your results.
Referent war Prof. Dr. med. Peter Kolominsky-Rabas, Leiter des Interdisziplinären Zentrums für Health Technology Assessment (HTA) und Public Health der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) und einer der Projektleiter von digiDEM Bayern. Der Neurologe berichtete über die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen des neuen digiDEM Bayern-Angebotes, wie wichtig Gesundheitskompetenz ist und warum sich jeder die 15 Minuten Zeit für den Wissentest nehmen sollte.

With the webinar series „Science Watch LIVE,“ we offer an additional service to our monthly newsletter digiDEM Bavaria Science WaOkay, where we provide scientific findings from dementia research.
Against the backdrop of widespread half-truths and fake news, evidence-based science is in demand. It is more important than ever to communicate scientific findings in a way that is understandable to society and to promote exchange about them. As the digiDEM Bavaria project team, we want to contribute to this, now also with digiDEM Bavaria Science Watch LIVE.
