Many Asian societies face rising challenges among the old-old (75+) as declines in intrinsic capacity interact with limited digital participation and other environmental pressures. Digital literacy has been proven instrumental in building health literacy and well-being. Guided by the WHO Healthy Ageing Framework and our Digital Literacy Framework, this workshop adopts a preventive life-course perspective to explore how issues encountered by the old-old can reveal early risks for the young-old (55–74). Participants will also reflect interculturally and internationally. The workshop follows a structured three-step process. First, participants conduct diagnostic mapping to identify old-old challenges. Second, they translate these findings to the young-old by analysing vulnerabilities and identifying where preventive action is required. Third, participants engage in rapid co-creation to generate targeted interventions.
Designed for researchers, educators, designers, healthcare professionals, public health practitioners and policymakers. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: (1) Map ageing challenges using the Healthy Ageing Framework and the Digital Literacy Framework; (2) Identify gaps and early risks emerging from old-old trajectories; (3) Translate these risks into preventive opportunities for the young-old; (4) Co-create interventions using structured templates.
All conference participants are eligible to join the workshop. Attendees will be encouraged to review the WHO healthy Aging Framework in advance. Participants will be made aware of guidelines to design programmes and policies that promote healthy, meaningful and dignified ageing.
