LifeTechValley, a Flemish innovation platform for the healthcare industry, aims to support economic development in the field of healthy aging. Healthy aging includes innovations that can help elderly people to stay in shape. This platform wants to support companies in Limburg (Belgium) active in the field of healthy aging, IT, communication and medical innovation.
Some innovations:
- Aristoco has developed an innovation platform called Cubigo in order to stay at home as long as possible. The Cubigo technology combines different services on 1 platform adapted to elderly with limited computer knowledge. The platform gives access to different health care apps. Elderly people in need of care can order meals or contact someone. Also medical support is possible like asking for help at a nurse, making an appointment with the doctor.
- The Belgian Company QBMT develops a care robot, called Zora that can be used in the elderly care.
