INNOVCARE LAUNCHING DAYS

Care-led innovation: The case ofelderly care in France and Japan
26-28 March 2024
Online and onsite
Contact: innovcare@ehess.fr
If technologies (especially robotics, AI, digital technologies) can help the autonomy of older adults(OA), they also have limitations (difficulties of use, disconnection between design and real needs,
ethical issues that may not be taken into consideration ...) identified by field actors and in the scientific
literature. The objective of INNOVCARE is to try to overcome these limitations by working on a bettersynthesis of social and individual needs and the contributions of technologies. The project aims todefine and implement a process of innovation led by care for the benefit of the autonomy of the OAs
with the following goals: securing the person's environment; ensuring his or her mobility; slowing
down/compensating for the loss of his or her cognitive abilities; and preserving and enhancing
social ties. Based on interdisciplinarity within the SSH (central and driving forces in the project) andbetween SSH, medicine and engineering, it also offers a comparative perspective between Franceand Japan. The originality of the project lies in two central features; first, we introduce a comparison
with innovation for younger individuals with a variety of disabilities. Second, we place the concept ofcare at the heart of the analysis of innovation, which leads us to focus not on individual users but oninter-individual and social relations, with their material and affective dimensions.
These launching days represents the beginning of a new step for the project following the selectionof INNOVCARE for a funding by the Priority Research Programme (France 2030) “Autonomy” (20242028). It will focus on the organisation of the project, including the research agendaof INNOVCARE
for the next five years.
