Health, demographic change and wellbeing aims to help older and less able people to remain active and independent for longer and supports the development of new, safer and more effective interventions in personalised medicine and advanced diagnostics to provide sustainable health and care systems.

Amongst many innovations, the chemical industry can help deliver improved understanding and monitoring of health and prevent, detect, treat and manage disease through better diagnostic techniques, provide novel responsive materials that support active and healthy ageing, and improve formulation techniques to ensure effective delivery of the active components in medicines. Achieving a better quality of life for all European citizens is the overriding aim of this challenge.
