Abstract
One of the greatest global health challenges is the Ageing
Society phenomenon which threatens the sustainability of public health services
across the world. A combination of greater longevity, lifestyle related chronic
health conditions such as obesity and a proportionately declining workforce
means greater health costs for the elderly borne by a shrinking workforce.
Healthy Active Ageing based around exercise, diet, hydration, sleep and
mindfulness is key to future sustainability. This presentation shares some
practical experiences of the growing number technologies designed to tackle
this challenge including mobile health applications, the emerging science of
epigenomics and gamification to encourage engagement and compliance.
