Healthspan vs. Lifespan - Deep Dive

Take a deeper dive and listen to a conversation on our Information Tool:  Healthspan vs. Lifespan. This tool examines the disparity between lifespan (length of life) and healthspan (years lived in good health). It highlights the significant gap between these two metrics, largely due to chronic diseases, and emphasizes the importance of improving healthspan. The information tool defines healthspan, discusses challenges in measuring it objectively, and proposes strategies to increase it, including addressing risk factors, improving healthcare access, and utilizing advancements in personalized medicine and AI.

You can access the companion NICE Information Tool on our website at: https://www.nicenet.ca/articles/healthspan-vs-lifespan. The online Information Tool  provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
