Biography

I’m a specialist in internal medicine with training in geriatrics and since October 2020 I’m responsible for the new Ageing and Health department within the Andorran Health Care System. The Ageing and Health Department is born from the premise that we are living longer and healthier, but old age, like other stages of life, has its own medical and social problems and requires specialized care services. Thanks to a team of excellent professionals trained in geriatrics we will achieve together the objectives of the department, which are the following: - Provide geriatric health care services to the older people of Andorra in the hospital, at home, in primary care and long-term care. - To deploy actions to prevent dependence on the Olders. - And to promote research and innovation in Ageing thanks to the new era of Digital Health. At the community level, I coordinate in Andorra the APTITUDE Project https://www.aptitude-net.com, which aims to deploy in the cross-border area of ​​the Pyrenees (Gerontopôle de Toulouse /Fundació Salut i Envelliment, Complejo hospitalario de Navarra) actions to prevent dependence on the older. Thanks to the APTITUDE project, we have created a network of experts in the different participating countries to promote care, training, research and innovation in gerontology. Our goal in Andorra would be to conduct a population study of all those over 65 in our country to anticipate dependency and offer interventions that keep the older in robustness.
