In DigiSTRENGTH, the goal is to promote healthy aging by providing structure and space for existential conversations, where a central component is to identify small and large goals that provide strength, joy, and meaning in life.

A project aimed to support older adults with long term health problems. The challenge in health- and social care of today is to provide care with a holistic ap-proach to meet each individual´s needs. Health care providers tend to spend more time focusing on the health problem per see, rather than focusing on the individual´s situa-tion as a whole. Less attention is often given to psychological and social needs and dialogue with the older adult. Research has shown that many older adults experience loneliness, exclusion and lack of support, especially during times of illness.
