Sweden

ACCESS Health Sweden is home to some of our most widely valued research on elder care. The Swedish office interviewed elder care leaders across the country in an effort to identify best practices and innovative solutions to the challenges of aging. The research places particular focus on innovative service delivery models, new technology, and applications of recent research in dementia care.

The research formed the basis three ACCESS Health books on aging: Aging With Dignity: Innovation and Challenge – The Voice of Care Professionals, Aging Well: Solutions to the Most Pressing Global Challenges of Aging, and Voices in Dementia Care: Reimagining the Culture of Care. Edited transcripts of all the interviews that informed these books are available in our Publications section.

ACCESS Health Sweden also created the Modern Aging program, which was initially designed to encourage entrepreneurs to create businesses to improve the health and wellbeing of an older population. The Modern Aging program has now expanded and evolved into Modern Aging Singapore (www.modernaging.sg) and Modern Aging China (www. modernaging.org.cn).
