16th Digitally Inclusive, Healthy Ageing Communities (DIHAC) Study Cross-cultural Exchange Meeting on 20th April 2023
16th Digitally Inclusive, Healthy Ageing Communities (DIHAC) Study Cross-cultural Exchange Meeting
Digitally Inclusive, Healthy Ageing Communities (DIHAC) is a cross-cultural study primarily based on Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore and Thailand, and expanding to several countries through collaboration and network.
In this 16th DIHAC meeting, we will learn the impact of conversation on older persons’ health and quality of life from the Republic of Korea and Japan. Experts from ROK will present how the “Artificial Intelligence (AI) call”, care conversation, brings older persons to the care services, promoting access to care, safeguarding those people living alone. Presentation from Japan will share decades-long experience of chorus and assemble in the community. The speakers are musicians who initiated and sustained community chorus in order to keep older persons connected, healthy and happy.
It is great pleasure to announce the upcoming 16th DIHAC meeting which will deliver interesting cross-cultural experiences. We want to share this learning opportunity with our friends, colleagues, experts, scholars and researchers around the world.
