Globally, the population of older people is growing at the fastest rate ever. Ageing certainly brings opportunities, but it also presents unique healthcare challenges that require innovative solutions and accessible diagnostic tools.
The Demographic Transformation
By 2050, the global population aged 60 and over is projected to increase from 1 billion to 2.1 billion. This demographic shift brings both tremendous opportunities for society and significant challenges for healthcare systems worldwide.
Unique Health Challenges
Older adults are more likely to experience chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and mobility issues. Early detection and regular monitoring through accessible diagnostic testing can significantly improve quality of life and health outcomes.
Age-related changes in the immune system make older adults more susceptible to infections and slower to recover. Regular health monitoring and prompt diagnostic testing become increasingly important.
Accessible Diagnostic Solutions
At-home diagnostic testing provides older adults with convenient, private, and immediate health monitoring options. This is particularly valuable for those with mobility limitations or those living in remote areas with limited healthcare access.
2San is committed to developing diagnostic solutions that empower older adults to take control of their health, enabling early intervention and better health outcomes throughout the ageing process.
