The silver tsunami 

A dark gray cloud over senior care


It is an overwhelming fact: our population is getting older. The heavy impact of aging on our society can already be seen now and will only increase in the coming years.

  • Caregivers experience massive workload.
  • Healthcare institutions are struggling with increasingly tight care budgets.
  • Elderly must unfortunately sacrifice peace of mind, privacy and a dignified last season.


A view on 2030:


The population is aging rapidly

4 million caregivers sought

Fewer beds for more people

+ 57% octogenarians

In EU, the number of 80+ people will increase by 57% between 2010 and 2030. Including 26% more elderly with care needs.

+ 122% shortage of staff

The current shortage of 1.8 million care workers in the EU will rise to 4 million by 2030. An increase of 122% in just 8 years.

-7% available beds

By 2028, there will be 5.36 hospital beds per 1,000 inhabitants in the EU. A decrease of 7% in 5 years, while the need rises.

'Futureproof designs for the healthcare industry'

Yes, I want to be there! 


Property developers & architects
Designers of tomorrow's care 

Retrofitting new smart technology into existing healthcare facilities is a slow and difficult process. This represents an opportunity for smart developers of new construction projects in healthcare. 

Integrating smart technologies from the start is not only easy and affordable; it makes healthcare buildings future-proof, creating added value for both client and society. 

So both economically and socially a smart move.

"Immense respect for the developers and architects of healthcare projects. They bear the responsibility for creating the warm and dignified environment to which each of us will later be entitled."
