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?
