Wearables that offer people with Parkinson's disease freedom of movement, smart glasses for people with a visual impairment, sensors that help caregivers to keep an eye on things. These are technological solutions that help residents to live longer and more pleasantly at home. Or tools that support informal carers and care providers in their daily work.  

The Hague is growing and aging and faces major social and economic challenges. Care is increasingly being transferred to people's homes. Technological innovations are necessary to organize care and support in a smarter way and to stimulate self-reliance. The municipality of The Hague is strongly committed to assisting startups in developing products and services that help residents to live longer and more pleasantly at home. 

To accelerate the implementation of healthcare innovation and help start-ups to understand the social domain, the municipality has set up special programs, accelerators and investment funds for start-ups in The Hague in collaboration with its partners.
