Structure of the minor

In the Netherlands, healthcare innovation has developed at a rapid pace in the past few decades. Increasingly, people are reaching old age. People strive to live a long and healthy life and want to stay active, even in their later years. This is also expected of them. Patients and professional caregivers are increasingly becoming partners in care, meaning that they jointly discuss the needs of the elderly person, focusing mainly on wellbeing. In the years ahead, the focus will increasingly shift to prevention and wellness. Technology, e-health and home automation are becoming increasingly important in enabling people to stay at home and to remain independent for as long as possible. In this minor, the focus is on EAST MEETS WEST. What similarities and differences are there with regard to the older population of Indonesia and specifically in Bali when it comes to norms, values, culture, health care, prevention, technology, wealth, poverty, wellbeing, etc. What can we learn from each other, to en-sure future-proof care and wellbeing for the elderly. The concepts that will be covered deal with the different groups of the elderly, healthy ageing, prevention, communication, interdisciplinary work, and applied research. The language of instruction is English.
