We aim at filling the most relevant knowledge gaps on mental and physical resilience in a clinical perspective.
We will study measuring Resilience and develop and validate a resilience measurement framework taking.
We will study how to best manage, monitor and improve physical and mental resilience.

- How are systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales involved in the emergence of resilience of aging humans against health stressors?
- How does resilience come about?
- How are human systemic resilience and subsystem resiliencies related?
- How do physical and cognitive resilience relate?
- How do resilienc(ies) in different organ systems and the person as a whole change across the aging life span?
- What is the relation of resilience with type, intensity and timing of stressors?
- How to quantify the intensity of a stressor?
- How is the resilience of the older individual related to the resilience of the social system (family)?
- Is lack of resilience a valid marker of closeness of dying and can it be used to add value in palliative care.
- Stressor (type and intensity)
- Outcome (trajectory): multidimensional
- Predictors
- Multidimensional
- Structure of system: static indicators of resilience, e.g., frailty
- Process/function operated by system: dynamic indicators of resilience
- What are valid bio-, psycho- and system markers of high and low resilience, which may be valid in clinical decision making?
- Triage & clinical decision support systems
- Actively support resource (recruitment) available for resilience
- Integrate with prehabilitation and (geriatric) rehabilitation support programmes for better targeting
- Teaching and training programmes for a sustainable and resilient healthcare system

About Geriatric medicine

We focus on resilience as the ability to resist, recover from and adapt to stressors. Monitoring, predicting and improving both mental and physical resilience is crucial as a patient with too little resilience will not have good outcomes, regardless of the quality of treatment of the disease.
