TNO is an independent research organization in the Netherlands that conducts applied research to stimulate independent living for elderly persons. It has over 3,000 employees and works on themes related to health, infrastructure, and security. TNO's mission is to connect people and knowledge to create innovations that boost sustainability and well-being. One of its focuses is addressing the challenges of demographic aging, such as chronic conditions, lack of healthcare professionals, and financial unsustainability of care systems. TNO is developing a Community Dashboard tool to provide insight into relevant indicators across different policy domains and visualize data to support policymakers in predicting outcomes of various policy scenarios.
