Thus, from the WHO

• ICD (10) fits with the traditional medical model,
  the disease-treatment model
• ICF (1) fits with the new functioning model
Unifying conceptual model that shared risk factors
 may lead to geriatric syndromes, then to frailty, with
 feedback mechanisms. Poor outcomes.




J Am Geriatr Soc 55:780–791, 2007.
Towards a new health paradigm

• Moving from the hippocratic classical paradigm:
  • acute disease, diagnostic, treatment, hospital, prim.
    prevention, medical power, pharmacy
• To a new functional paradigm:
  • case issues, personal functioning, chronical
    diseases, handicap, compensation, sec or tert.
    prevention, home care, shared power, technology
Needs for older people

• Environmental needs: housing, mobility,
  nutrition, inclusion,…
   Community, family, personal means, professionals,
    regions, EU,…
   good practices, quality of care
• Human rights needs: security, equity in
  accessibility, no discrimination, minimal income,
  health & aid,…
   State guaranty, European initiative, International
    Convention under United Nations auspices, ….
Conclusions

1. Technology is an example of domain
   addressing needs in a new functioning
   paradigm
2. Technology takes place beside biology and
   human sciences as a major field of research in
   geriatrics and gerontology
3. Gerontechnology concerns aging or elderly
   user, either healthy, frail or diseased.
Conclusions

4. Gerontechnology implies a common language
   between health professionals, methodologists,
   psycho-sociologists, technologists and a
   method to work together commonly practiced
   in gerontologic activities
5. In the future technology should efficiently
   contribute to prevention, assist aging
   physically and/or mentally handicapped
   persons, and contribute to reduce the burden
   of caregivers.
Take Home Messages

• Technologies & services face multiple needs
• There is a lack of caregivers in a close future
• Should the market for healthy aging be the
  same or different from the market for diseased
  and frail persons ?
• Who will pay in the routine ?
• Needs for a clinical gerontechnology ?

    Towards a newhealth paradigm • Moving from the hippocratic classical paradigm: • acute disease, diagnostic, treatment, hospital, prim. prevention, medical power, pharmacy • To a new functional paradigm: • case issues, personal functioning, chronical diseases, handicap, compensation, sec or tert. prevention, home care, shared power, technology

    Conclusions 1. Technology isan example of domain addressing needs in a new functioning paradigm 2. Technology takes place beside biology and human sciences as a major field of research in geriatrics and gerontology 3. Gerontechnology concerns aging or elderly user, either healthy, frail or diseased.
  • 49.
    Conclusions 4. Gerontechnology impliesa common language between health professionals, methodologists, psycho-sociologists, technologists and a method to work together commonly practiced in gerontologic activities 5. In the future technology should efficiently contribute to prevention, assist aging physically and/or mentally handicapped persons, and contribute to reduce the burden of caregivers.

    Take Home Messages •Technologies & services face multiple needs • There is a lack of caregivers in a close future • Should the market for healthy aging be the same or different from the market for diseased and frail persons ? • Who will pay in the routine ? • Needs for a clinical gerontechnology ?
