The Helgetun branch is exploring how living in an innovative, community-based environment can affect the lives of older adults, using a qualitative approach. Helgetun is an innovative ad unique residential project that aims to foster active ageing with facilities to increase physical, mental and social activities. The goal of the project is that the residents manage to live at home longer, with better physical and mental health. See the ActiveAgeing Helgetun page for more information.

DIGI.PARK is an observational study based on quantitative research, exploring the use of wearable sensor devices for symptom tracking in home-dwelling people with Parkinson’s disease. See the ActiveAgeing DIGI.PARK page for more information.
