Escalating unhealth harms individuals and societies significantly

Healthcare today faces unprecedented challenges due to an aging population and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Altea is dedicated to addressing these issues by investing in preventive care and health innovation.

Increasing unhealth and related cost in society

Healthcare expenses are surging due to an aging population and an increase in chronic diseases.

Decreased workforce participation & productivity loss

Chronic disease and increasing mental unhealth drive sick leave and fewer years in working age.

Status quo leads to huge funding gap

Aging populations and low birth rates cause challenges in funding growing healthcare costs.

The challenge we are addressing

Escalating unhealth is a growing global challenge. Chronic diseases, driven by lifestyle factors and an older population, now account for <70% of global deaths. While healthcare systems excel at treating acute illness, they struggle with prevention and long-term care, leading to declining population health and rising pressure on society.

This trend is driving a widening funding gap in Europe. Healthcare costs are set to rise by >70% over the next 20 years in Europe, while the working-age population will shrink considerably. With fewer contributors and growing demand, the system is heading toward a health and cost cliff that threatens long-term sustainability.

The solution

Prevention is key to address the escalating burden of unhealth. Healthcare must shift from treating ill (reactive care) towards maintaining health (prevention). Up to 80% of many chronic conditions could be prevented through lifestyle changes and early intervention.

Prevention yields strong returns - yet remains significantly underfunded. The EU economies currently spend only around 3% of healthcare budgets on prevention, despite the fact that each euro invested can generate up to 14x ROI. By shifting more of spending towards prevention, there is an enormous wellbeing dividend to be unlocked in the form of reducing healthcare cost and improving productivity. Public spending is expected to shift slowly, while the private sector, reaping similar ROI benefits, is moving at a much higher pace.

ALTEA is supporting the transition by investing in and supporting companies advancing and facilitating the prolonging of healthy, productive and enjoyable life, i.e. extending Healthspan. Creating lasting value for individuals, society and investors
