New research project

Black Box MedHome: how do older people manage their medicines at home?

Together with Brandenburg Medical School (MHB), AG GESUNDHEIT 65 PLUS is studying how older people who take several medicines organise their daily routine, which aids they use and where they need support. The aim is practical recommendations.

More about the projectProject outline (in German)

The idea

Demographic change poses considerable challenges for society as a whole and therefore concerns every citizen. The working group GESUNDHEIT 65 PLUS takes up these questions and looks for solutions.

This includes topics such as

  • medical care
  • housing in later life
  • disease prevention
  • long-term care
  • income security in old age
  • social environment
  • local, regional and national policy
The working group GESUNDHEIT 65 PLUS is not bound to any particular interests and is independent of associations, societies and political parties.
