Entering the third year of the program, Senscio continues to support the 4Ms framework for age friendly health systems.
“So the great thing about Ibis and being age-friendly and what matters most is from the get-go saying, ‘You know what’s good for your health. What’s really important to you?’ Some people who are overweight say, you know, I actually don’t want to change my diet habits that much, I just don’t. But I do want X. And you say, OK, well, as a matter of fact, you can keep your weight, but you’ve got to build up your cardio. Let’s forget weight loss for the moment, but let’s talk about cardio and your endurance. ... That’s how Ibis supports the individual, and I think this is the way Ibis helps actually transform the system, by continuing to promote those values of autonomy, those values of what matters most to the older adult, and then to make the practitioner’s job, frankly, a little easier by giving them data that’s actionable.”
