Health&You

Problem:

Loneliness and social isolation among older adults, pose significant risks, increasing the likelihood of premature death by nearly 50% and being closely linked to the development of dementia. This problem is compounded as older people lose social connections due to loss of family and friends, children becoming independent, physical limitations and increased self-reliance. Although genetics influences the health of the elderly, the physical and social environment plays a crucial role.

Idea:

Health&You is a comprehensive service designed to enrich the lives of older adults and provide greater peace of mind to family members. From educational and recreational activities to nutrition services, transportation and preventive medical check-ups. With joint activities, celebrations and constant communication, we encourage active aging and strengthen family ties. Health&You not only improves quality of life but also reduces long-term medical expenses.
