Description of research topic
The world population is living longer while there is a growing number of people relocating to new countries.

Consequently, one group is increasingly visible in modern societies—people who grow old in a new country or relocate countries as older individuals (ageing migrants).

There are unique characteristics that sets apart this group from populations of older people and migrants:
Ageing migrants are becoming old(er) while adapting to life in a new country.

The double jeopardy of ageing and being a migrant has consequences that are specific to this population which makes ageing migrants at a high risk of poor health.

Addressing the opportunities and obstacles to a long and healthy life in populations of migrants is one of the acute global challenges while the implementation of digital technologies is seen as a solution.
