HAIC builds on the principles of Ageing 2.0, which is an international, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational community that strives to address the biggest challenges and opportunities in ageing. To date, HAIC has been focusing on identifying, and giving a Scottish context to, opportunities within the Aging 2.0 Grand Challenges. 

​

We work with our partners to promote positive approaches to healthy ageing, using digital solutions and services to transform care. We have a wealth of knowledge, learning and experience to share through the membership of our cluster. 

 

Focus 

The current focus within the Healthy Ageing Innovation Cluster (HAIC) is to: 

1. Create a collective of shared interests, expertise and skills 

2. Share information and support knowledge exchange 

3. Build collaborations that are greater than the sum of the individual parts 

4. Seek and solve demand-led challenges 

5. Identify funding/ host challenge opportunities 

 

The goal of this cluster is to develop impactful innovations that support and lead to improved health outcomes for our communities. By fostering collaboration among industry representatives, healthcare professionals, academics, and citizens, HAIC aims to develop and implement solutions that address the Ageing 3.0 Grand Challenges. Through these efforts, we strive to create a significant positive impact on the quality of life and health outcomes for people across Scotland.
