How to think globally and act locally for health path, and elders’ autonomy with ehealth and gerontechnology ?
Résumé
Due to the ageing transition, citizens all over the world have to cope with two problems: the growing care burden [per capita], and the increasing organisational complexity of the health and care system1. Frail older adults are peculiarly threatened by this tendency. Besides, the growing development of robotics and ICT-based technology more and more supports the perspective of a transfer of care tasks to robots and remote monitoring by machine intelligence with ‘big data’ based decision-making2. Strong ethical issues are raised by this transfer3. The project InnoServ (2012–2016) (‘Innovative Societies’ programme of the French National Agency for Research) aims to model a durable, optimized, and ethical organization of homecare and health path of frail people.
