The\u00a0rapid growth of the oldest age groups\u00a0will have a major impact on health care costs. Engineering must play a substantial role managing the effects of this surge in demand for healthcare and providing care to be delivered in new ways. In concrete,\u00a0biomedical engineering underpins many of the actions required to improve the quality of life of older people, including medical, social and infrastructure needs, so that the degree of independence and activity for ageing citizens can be improved.<\/p>\n<p>There is a growing need for\u00a0innovative medical technology solutions\u00a0that contribute to our concept of healthy ageing. Technical innovation can provide solutions such as telemetry, distant-virtual consulting and checking, the automation of processes, and robot technology.\u00a0Regenerative medicine can as well offer a solution to major clinical needs related to ageing such as heart strokes, central\/peripheral nerves damage, osteoporosis or ulcers.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25ba For further information:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biocat.cat\/es\/nota-de-prensa\/robots-chips-apps-otros-avances-bioingenieria-ayudaran-gente-mayor-vivir-mas-sanos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Biocat website [+<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.biocat.cat\/ca\/nota-de-premsa\/robots-xips-apps-altres-avencos-bioenginyeria-ajudaran-gent-gran-viure-mes-sans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">]<\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ibecbarcelona.eu\/ibec-b%C2%B7debate-looks-at-adding-life-to-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IBEC website [+]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the theme of\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bdebate.org\/ca\/debat\/bioengineering-healthy-ageing-adding-life-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bioengineering for Healthy Ageing.
