Ageing Better: Breakthroughs and Innovations for a Greying World (Vol. 25, No. 7, Full Issue)

For the month of July 2021, APBN looks at how we can make society a more age-friendly place for our elderly. In Features, we speak to professors from the Singapore Institute of Technology to learn more about how they plan to tackle urban ageing so that our elderly do not get left behind. Then we have an article contribution by Dr Daniel Tan, Director and Senior Radiation Oncologist at Asian Alliance Radiation & Oncology, on a new treatment option for patients with glioblastoma multiforme. In Columns, we step into the future of digital therapeutics as Hema Thiagarajah, Vice President and Client Partner for Appnovation APAC, shares with us the many ways digital therapeutics can deliver better patient outcomes. Finally, in Spotlights, we have SingHealth Polyclinic to reveal how being on more medications can be counter-productive, and an interview with Eric Mansion, General Manager of Asia Zone for Sanofi Pasteur, to elaborate more on the value of life-course immunisation and how Sanofi plans to improve vaccine access in Asia.
