New technology in combination with good care aims to improve the quality of life for the elderly

We must be at the forefront technologically, while at the same time retaining the important care for the ever-growing group of elderly people who will be living at home in the future, says the head of a new research center in Bergen, Professor Bettina Husebø. The Trond Mohn Foundation joins forces with the University of Bergen to fund this center with a total of NOK 52 million over the next five years.

New research center at Helse Bergen will find out why patients with serious psychotic disorders have a life expectancy that is 15-20 years less than ordinary people

Psychotic disorders, which include schizophrenia and bipolar disorders, affect between 1-2 percent of the population, and at least 30,000 people currently live with such disorders in Norway. The disorders lead to a significantly reduced quality of life and 15-20 years shortened average lifespan due to both natural and unnatural causes of death. Today's treatment methods have proven to be insufficient for a large subgroup of patients, which requires new research and a rethinking of treatment options in the field.

Congratulations on completing your TMS Starting Grant, Konrad Tywoniuk!

Why do we get sick? Researchers in Bergen will find out more about this.

Norwegian researchers have unique access to data that can provide new knowledge about the causes of various diseases, but the gathering of new insights from the extensive national registers and biobanks requires collaboration across different disciplines. The Trond Mohn Foundation supports this research in a newly established research center for translational epidemiology with three new projects.
