Happy Aging on the REVA fair
Last week REVA2017 opened her doors in Flanders Expo in Ghent. With 150 exhibitors and 15.000 visitors one of the most important fairs in Belgium. Thé place to be for organizations that focus on young and elderly people with a disability.
As jury member for the REVAnueva – the award for the most innovative product/service – Ingrid Lieten also contributed in the name of Happy Aging.
We like to put the three winners in the spotlights:
Ortho-Medico
MyAddOn
Join2Bike
A revolutionairy glove (Sem-glove) that gives patients with a reduced hand function more grip and power.
An add-on (MySleeve) for crutches that make painful hands and falling crutches past tense.
A project (Train to Inclusion) where people with a disability and volunteers take on a big bicycle challenge.
Looking to discover Silicon Valley?
Together with The Argonauts, FlandersBio and DSP Valley Happy Aging takes you from November 11th till 18th to Silicon Valley (San Francisco). This trip is all about 'Healthy & Independent Living'. The program consists of among others academic sessions and visits to universities (Berkeley, Stanford), research centers (J&J, Kaiser Permanente), GP practices and technology companies.

CrossCare wave 2 started
CrossCare develops, implements and finances together with six Flemish and Dutch living labs, among which Happy Aging, care innovations (product, service, concept). During the second wave eight projects are launched, of which three are managed by Happy Aging:
Project 1: Drainpatch
This simple patch – invented by Bedal - fixes and protects infuses and catheters maximally. It is not only time sparing for nurses but also gives more comfort to the patient.
Project 2: Pee-post
Novosanis develops a service where you can anonymously send urine samples to have it tested on sexually transmitted diseases. Together with the Dutch living lab EIZT, this project will map how this can take place with a low threshold and user-friendly.
Project 3: IncoSense Smart
IncoSense Smart exists of a senor that measure the saturation of incontinence material, incl. a clever notification system and management dashboard. The well-being of the client increases, as well as the quality of care. A very promising idea in development to a product that is ready for the market.
