VB Healthy Ageing


Description

In rural regions dominated by ageing populations there is an urgency for improving healthy lifestyle and new care concepts to facilitate a prolonged working life and/or the prevention from (early) care. In the transition phase towards ageing populations measures have to be taken to guarantee life quality for all. In fact, we need to accompany the transition from a ‘care-directed society’ to a society characterized by a healthy life style and prevention from care. To achieve this, new visions on care arrangements plus prevention measures resulting in a prolonged period of healthy life have to be developed. Organisational, technological and financial aspects play a crucial role in this. This offers new chances to entrepreneurs and may help regions to profile themselves as Health Regions.
