              lang="EN-US">“Healthy and Secure People” (HSP) is an
              inter-disciplinary research area, that will focus on five
              main key areas, which is focused on using scientific
              models, methodologies and technologies for enhancing human
              quality of life. In the next seven years 25% of EU
              citizens will be over the age of 60. An aging population
              opens a considerable sort of concerns, namely:
              understanding health, wellbeing and disease; preventing
              and diagnosing disease; treating and managing disease;
              active ageing and self-management of health; methods and
              knowledge; health care provision and integrated care.<br>
              Following a person-centered approach, it deals directly
              with individuals and groups of individuals. The main goal
              of this workshop is contribute to the development of new
              approaches and enabling technologies that will enhance
              human quality of life, leading to healthier, innovation
              and secure societies.<br>
