Theme: Investing in Prevention for Healthy Ageing
How can we, and why should we, keep people healthy? This first day will give you insights in solutions to increase effects of life style changes on system level and on individual level. We will also discuss solutions for early diagnostics, and gains and risks from incorporating them in healthcare.
We know that investments in prevention can give us a longer and healthier lives and save future healthcare costs. But how much, and which investments should healthcare make?
How can we measure the benefits of investments in prevention, via life style changes or via technologies for diagnostics and screeing?
How can we develop management systems that support efficient prevention measures?
