ThirdAgeTx Founder & Chief Medical Officer
Welcome to ThirdAgeTx, where we address the psychological challenges of ageing. Our older years are sometimes called the ‘third age’ of life. At ThirdAgeTx our mission is to ensure healthy ageing by optimising psychological health and wellbeing. We do this using leading-edge behavioural science to design effective and scalable solutions.
The World Health Organisation [WHO] has identified loneliness as one of the greatest threats to human health. Loneliness increases the risk of dementia, and unnecessary care home admission. Strokes and heart attacks are more common. The impacts of loneliness on physical health and life expectancy are comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
ThirdAgeTx rises to the WHO's challenge to end loneliness. Our mission is guided by people in their third age who are ‘experts by experience’. We are unapologetically solution-focussed and evidence-based, since older people deserve nothing less.
