– Client: PRECIES! sterk met ouderen
– Research/design question: How can conversations about (positive) health help / aid / prevent elderly to be dependent on care?
– Description : Care in the Netherlands is stuck. There are hardly any General Practitioners (huisartsen) available for the amount of people. Especially in the Eindhoven area, this is a big problem. We think that prevention is key to getting us through the dip of the ‘Vergrijzing’ (aging population). In order to do so several conversation tools were developed, such as the ‘Morgen Gezond Weer Op Kaart’. But these tools also raise some questions: What is the power of such tools? How are they being used? Are they being used correctly? Do we actually need these tools or are there other solutions to spark the conversation? What are the overlapping factors to spark the conversation? How do we change the behavior of elderly to look more at their health and act upon it.
In this project you can either do research (to the success factors) or design for the good conversation with elderly.
PRECIES! can link you to several elderly in the neighborhood, so you can talk to them and their (informal) network.
