Presentation 

Rising life expectancy and ageing populations are a major challenge for our societies. A key issue is how to deliver care for older adults experiencing a loss of autonomy. While the contribution of technology in this field (especially robotics, AI, and information and communication technology) is recognised as a solution, this contribution is also defined by certain limitations, now partly revealed by the COVID-19 crisis.

INNOVCARE’s hypothesis is that this is a structural problem related to the partial disconnect between social needs and technological solutions, itself tied to the dominant paradigm of innovation. The goal is to develop an alternative concept called care-led innovation. Thanks to a multidisciplinary French- Japanese - German collaboration, Innovcare analyzes the policies and practices veiwing well-being as their core objective.

This 2^nd annual meeting will focus on our research’s social impact and the valorization of its deliverables, both in France and in Japan.
