As global life expectancy continues to rise, the ageing population is growing rapidly. By 2030, individuals aged 60 and over will outnumber those under 10, and by 2050, there will be approximately 2.1 billion people over 60. While longer life offers more years of active societal contribution, it also brings increased health challenges, placing a strain on healthcare systems worldwide.
Addressing these challenges has become a global priority, with the goal of ensuring that longer lifespans are also healthier ones.
The Technion Healthy Ageing Institute (iTechAge) is at the forefront of this effort, working to bridge the gap between lifespan and healthspan. By leveraging the Technion’s expertise in technology, science, and partnerships with Israel’s healthcare system, the Institute is advancing cutting-edge multidisciplinary research and developing innovative solutions to improve the quality of life for older adults globally.
In this webinar, Prof. Shen-Orr will explore the wide range of ageing-related topics addressed by iTechAge, from molecular mechanisms to cognitive, environmental, and social factors, utilising human biomedical data to originate discoveries, solutions, and policies to impact society locally and globally.
