Discover the speakers of the plenary session!

The Silver economy covers many products and services using technologies (home automation, sensors, connected objects…) to cover the needs and demands of seniors over 50.
The sector deals with the heterogeneous and difference of consumption between working retirees and dependent older people and evolves within a complex financing ecosystem that does not facilitate a clear definition of the sector stakeholders relationships.

Can we predict that the Silver economy will become a fully-fledged sector of activity where companies currently involved, would feel included, despite the diversity of their activities?
What are the current initiatives to make the Silver economy a clearly established economic and industrial sector?
What will be the future initiatives to make this sector clearly economic and industrial?

That is a subject as delicate as it is interesting, that we will be happy to debate with the plenary session dream team on 6th February from 11.30 am to 1.00 pm.

Moderator: Astrid Stuckelberger, President, Geneva International Network on Ageing (CH)

Alain Legros, General Manager, Balder SPRL (BE)

Jean-Michel Lheureux, Director Statistics and Methods, AViQ (BE)

Americans may be warming up to the idea of using unmanned aerial vehicles — or drones — to deliver Amazon packages or take pictures of unreachable places like remote mountain ranges or hurricane-decimated landscapes.

But what about using indoor drones to help older people get their hands on a bottle of medicine that’s in another room?
Sound like an outlandish idea? Naira Hovakimyan, a roboticist at the University of Illinois, isn’t laughing.

Hovakimyan recently received a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to explore the possibility of using small drones to perform simple household chores.

NSF picked the right person.

Hovakimyan recently told The New York Times that she believes drones will become an everyday fixture — as ubiquitous as cell phones — in the homes of older people. Within a decade or two, she says, indoor drones will be reaching under the table to grab an object, cleaning chandeliers, and weeding the lawn.

New facial recognition technology developed in Australia will help medical staff manage the pain of dementia patients who struggle to communicate.
The PainChek app runs on smartphones or tablets and uses artificial intelligence to analyse facial expressions to assess pain levels.
The software captures the information it needs in just three seconds and uses standardised pain scales but can be tailored to include patient-specific information such as medication.

 

AgeingFit is delighted to host the IGAM congress for two half-days during the 2018 edition.
The congress theme will focus on “What’s new in geriatrics and gerontology ? News from the sector” and will take the form of conferences, round tables and posters.

More information soon.

AgeingFit Steering Committee gathered last week to design a brand new conference programme for its 2018 edition. Always aiming at fulfilling our audience’s expectations and fit at best its concerns, our experts rethought the overall organisation and topics of the sessions.

AgeingFit 2018 programme will be organised around the following axis:

 

  • Track 1: From Needs to Ideas

  • Track 2: From Ideas to Innovation

  • Track 3: From Innovation to Market
