Being able to offer greater flexibility and less bureaucracy when it comes to your freedom of choice is essential to the philosophy of Mypower Foundations. They are able to put you in the driver’s seat and allow you to access support in the ways that best suit you and at the pace that is most comfortable. Although Windows includes a built-in scheduling utility, Auto Power-on and Shut-down simplifies such tasks. True to its name, the program mainly lets you schedule your PC to start up and shut down.

The EMPOWER randomized trial – Eliminating Medications Through Patient Ownership of End Results – tested a theory-based tool (the EMPOWER brochure) aimed at empowering older adults to act as drivers of safer prescribing practices. The brochures recommend equally or more effective therapeutic substitutes to medication and a step-wise tapering protocol. Reading the brochure on sedative-hypnotic use led to an increase in self-reported knowledge and drug-related risk perceptions, an increase in discussions withphysicians and/or pharmacists about the information, anddiscontinued benzodiazepine use among chronic consumers of inappropriate benzodiazepines.
