About us

We are a group of people and organizations who see and perceive opportunities in educating the general and professional public in the field of improving the quality of life through good and scientifically based technologies and recommendations contributing to the improvement and maintenance of physical and mental health.

The main purpose of all of us is to create a large discussion platform across society, which aims to point out the fundamental impacts associated with the change in the gradual prolongation of the active life of all of us. And by connecting scientists, doctors, key representatives of medical facilities, IT innovators and politicians, create a discourse that will have a positive impact on society as a whole.

We want to point out myths, highlight clever solutions and inspire with cases of good practice not only from the Czech Republic, but also from abroad.

The tools for these changes will be the coordination and facilitation of the activities of other people and organizations, the publication of information, the organization of conferences, panel discussions and round tables, both on academic, commercial and possibly parliamentary grounds.
