Strategies for a long and healthy life
That’s what it’s about
Working interdisciplinarily and finding solutions to global challenges together: With this approach, the Switzerland Innovation Park East and the University of St.Gallen want to make the socially relevant topic of “health” visible and create impulses for innovations. This six-part hybrid event series looks at how we can manage our health across the lifespan and thus extend our healthy lifespan as much as possible.

The presentations
The six-part hybrid event series examines the topic of “Health in Focus: Strategies for a Long and Healthy Life” from different perspectives. Experts have their say in lectures and moderated discussion groups. At the same time, the audience can contribute with experiences and questions. The series of events is a cooperation program between the University of St.Gallen and the Switzerland Innovation Park East.
Lecture and discussion :
If there are two nutrients whose supply is problematic in our society today, they are vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. Why are both so important for the immune system, against inflammation and in many diseases? This lecture provides important – and perhaps surprising to some – information about its occurrence in food, optimal dosages and other practical tips.

Keynote speech and discussion group : In Switzerland, cardiovascular diseases are one of the most common reasons for hospitalization. Over 19,000 people suffer a heart attack every year (source: Federal Statistical Office ). This evening will therefore show how a prevention approach based on digital health can save the lives of patients at risk of heart attack.
As part of the “Health in Focus” lecture series, selected projects and ideas from the Age Innovation Prize 2023 will also be presented in advance. The winner will also be chosen.

Impulse lecture and discussion group :
Complementary and integrative medicine are used by a large part of the population in Switzerland and play an important role in the Swiss healthcare system. In this event, the keynote speech explains what complementary and integrative medicine and health mean and some methods such as herbal medicine or anthroposophic medicine are presented in more detail. We will then discuss with experts and participants questions, experiences, limitations and challenges surrounding complementary and integrative medicine and its role in health promotion.
