Novus Health Helps Organizations Support an Aging Population

By February 11, 2019 No Comments

Canada is experiencing an unprecedented change in its population: by 2030, nearly a quarter of Canadians will be 65 or older. What’s more, older individuals are continuing to play an active role in the labour force, with the number of employed elderly people nearly doubling between 2000 and 2013. This demographic shift is providing new challenges to the health care system—and to employers.

For many elderly people and the family members who care for them, managing the challenges of aging can be overwhelming. That’s why Novus Health provides organizations with the resources their population needs to navigate the complex health care system worldwide. Novus Health’s suite of services offers the latest in health care support, so you can safeguard the health of individuals and their families while improving productivity and profitability for you and your clients, members, and employees.

In order to remain relevant in health navigation and health information, it is important to show individuals that you understand the needs of an aging society and provide them with comprehensive, easy-to-understand health information that can help find and make use of the public and private resources available to them.

Making health information accessible with the Health Navigation Platform

At Novus Health, the goal is to empower individuals and their family members to meet the challenges of aging. The company’s Health Navigation Platform offers a wealth of eldercare and caregiver resources, including step-by-step guides to navigating the health care system and understanding the options available to users, no matter where they live.

The platform contains a series of health management hubs to target the issues that matter to people most, from diabetes, chronic illness, Alzheimer’s, and mental health to eldercare and caregiving. The hub provides all the necessary tools and resources in one convenient, easily accessible location, giving users an end-to-end understanding of the topic at hand and bringing value to them regardless of where they are in their health journey.
