Purpose of review: The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), is rising as the global population ages. Access to specialist care, which improves outcomes, is insufficient and disease-related disability makes in-person physician visits burdensome. Telehealth is one potential means for improving access to care. The purpose of this manuscript is to review recent publications on telemedicine in AD and PD.
Recent findings: Telemedicine is feasible in AD and PD and acceptable to patients and their caregivers. Compared with in-person visits, telemedicine reduces visit-associated travel and time. Telemedicine can be used for rehabilitative therapies, to administer cognitive tests, and to support caregivers. Access to telemedicine results in changes in patient care including medication adjustments and referrals for therapies and supports.
Summary: The use of telemedicine in AD and PD stands to decrease burden on patients and increase access to specialty care. Barriers to the expansion of telemedicine care include lack of widespread broadband access, state licensure requirements, and inconsistent reimbursement. More outcomes-based prospective telemedicine studies are needed.

Purpose of review: The purpose of this article is to review the various forms of incontinence, highlight their impact on older women, and to explore current literature regarding the link between physical activity, physical function, and incontinence.
Recent findings: Both urinary and fecal incontinence become more prevalent with age, and are associated with significant morbidity. In parallel, there is a well-established decline in physical function that occurs with age. Furthermore, incontinence has a bidirectional relationship with physical function decline. Given the known link between increasing physical activity and preserved physical function, there is an emerging body of literature seeking to determine whether increases in physical activity may also improve incontinence outcomes. We review some recent data on this topic.
Summary: Continence and physical function are two closely linked entities. Further research is needed to determine whether interventions that increase physical activity might result in improved continence outcomes.
