Ana Aslan International Foundation

What Ana Aslan International Foundation does

Ana Aslan International Foundation is a Romanian non-profit foundation headquartered in Bucharest that operates at the intersection of clinical geriatrics, longevity medicine, and European healthy-aging research. Its flagship operating unit, the ISO-certified Centrul de Excelență pentru Boli de Memorie și Medicina Longevității (Center of Excellence for Memory Diseases and Longevity Medicine), delivers in-person and telemedicine consultations in geriatrics, gerontology, geronto-psychiatry, and internal medicine — including CASMB-reimbursed standard visits and extended Premium consultations (1.5–2 hours). The foundation also runs a publishing and continuing-medical-education arm anchored by the AETERNUS treatise (700 RON/copy) and the recurring Stress Congress, plus a B2B corporate stress-management consulting line and a family-doctor distribution channel for patient-education guides.

The foundation is simultaneously a research consortium participant and, in some cases, coordinator, having been active across more than 30 EU and Romanian-funded projects since 2006 (K4CARE, Brainaging, AAL4All, iCan, ReMember-Me, SMART BEAR, COMFORTAGE, EMA_FRAILTY, Net4Brain, Team2Share, GoodBrother, NET4AGE-FRIENDLY). It coordinates the Romanian national research network for the GoodBrother COST Action and holds founding-membership status in EADC, EPMA, AgeingWell, E-NO FALLS, and CONFIDENCE. Its technology stack is largely consortium-built: ambient-sensor smart-home systems with ML-based anomaly detection (AAL4All), big-data platforms for healthy independent living (SMART BEAR), and personalised dementia/frailty recommendation engines (COMFORTAGE), deployed through partnerships rather than as standalone commercial products.

The revenue model is hybrid and not commercial-equity-backed: it combines CASMB-decontated and Premium clinical fees, telemedicine, professional services (AETERNUS sales, Stress Congress registrations, corporate stress consulting), donations/sponsorships, and — most materially — EU and Romanian public research grants (FP6/FP7, Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, AAL, Erasmus+, COST, POSDRU). Customer base spans seniors and memory-disorder patients, informal caregivers, doctors, family physicians, corporate HR/leadership, municipal partners, and European research stakeholders. The Ana Aslan / Prof. Dr. Luiza Spiru personal brand is a central asset, evidenced by the foundation's need to issue an official deepfake-fraud warning in February 2026.
