If technologies (especially robotics, AI, digital technologies) can help the autonomy of older adults (OA), theyalso 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 ofINNOVCARE is to try to overcome these limitations by working on a better synthesis of social and individual
needs and the contributions of technologies. The project aims to define 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; andpreserving and enhancing social ties. Based on interdisciplinarity within the SSH (central and driving forces inthe project) and between SSH, medicine and engineering, it also offers a comparative perspective between
France and 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 of care at
the heart of the analysis of innovation, which leads us to focus not on individual users but on inter-individualand social relations, with their material and affective dimensions.
This third annual forum represents the beginning of a new step for the project following the selection ofINNOVCARE for a funding by the Priority Research Programme (France 2030) “Autonomy” (2024-2028). It will
focus on Japanese partners and early career researchers affiliated to the project. We will also further discuss
the research agenda of INNOVCARE for the next five years.
