This conference brings together people who design, develop, prescribe, research and use technology to enhance the functional capacity and quality of life of older adults. It’s the perfect venue to learn about cutting-edge innovations in this rapidly developing field including: smart homes and smart materials, robotics, mobile and wireless communication systems, online goods and services, computer games, and applications of new technologies in health and social care.

This year the French-speaking countries' Congress will focus on three major themes: «Mediterranean sea is a crossroad for gerontology», «Therapeutics in geriatrics», and «Gerontechnology helps homecare». Communications will give emphasis on the interactions between the many different fields, practices and cultures leading the way to modern Gerontology and Geriatrics.
