Elderly persons living a satisfying, purposeful life followed by a peaceful
death: this is the ideal, but it poses a challenge as to whether we are
able to create a society in which this can be achieved. The aim of the
project is how to create healthcare design for community-dwelling elderly
optimal to each area associated with the unique ecology and culture. How
to promote health for community-dwelling elderly based on the assessment
of the comprehensive actual health situations of the elderly, and how to
provide efficient and effective care for the frail elderly and effects
of community-based geriatric intervention will be compared among Khonkaen
in Thailand, Omo in Ethipoia and Khalin in Bhutan, whose natural, cultural,
and societal environments have been very different from those in Japan.
