Advancing Healthy Living, Preventive Care, Rehabilitation, and Elder Care Across Asia
Partnership with
Unlocking Asia's Longevity Dividend
Asia is at the epicentre of one of the most profound demographic transformations in human history. The number of people aged 60 and above in Southeast Asia alone is expected to grow by 124% from 77.4 million in 2020 to 173.3 million by 2050, increasing their population share from 1 in 9 to 1 in 5 persons. By 2030, one in four people across Asia will be over the age of 60.
This demographic shift is not only reshaping healthcare systems but also redefining how societies approach healthy living across the lifespan- providing greater emphasis on prevention, wellness, active rehabilitation, proactive health management.
The seminar brings together market intelligence, clinical perspectives, medtech innovation, and investor insights to examine how healthcare stakeholders across Asia are responding to this longevity challenge. The session explores how healthy living strategies—including nutrition, lifestyle change enabling tools, digital health monitors, and early risk detection solutions, new age rehabilitation solutions, remote healthcare platforms, support improved quality of life, reduced onset of diseases and reduce risk of errors and failures in rehabilitation and delay functional decline. There is increasing demand for assured recovery/outcomes, community-centred models aging with dignity, independence, and better quality of life.
Co-located with the inaugural RehaCare Asia 2026 at Medical Fair Asia, this seminar provides decision-makers and innovators with the strategic framework, market data, and cross-sector perspectives needed to lead the next phase of Asia’s care economy.

Opening Keynote — Asia’s Longevity Dividend: Market Outlook for Healthy Living, Preventive Care, Rehabilitation, and Elder Care to 2033
Sets the strategic context for the seminar with a data-rich overview of Asia’s ageing demographic transformation and the market opportunities it is creating across three pillars — healthy living, preventive care, rehabilitation and aging in place. The metabolic diseases that impact quality of life from prime ages of life has been rising up to 1.7–3.7× over the past three decades. By 2030, one in four people across Asia will be over the age of 60. Thus, the burden of diseases doubles with a demographic challenge increasing focus on Asia’s Longevity Dividend: a generational opportunity for healthcare providers, technology companies, investors, and policymakers to co-create a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable care economy.
