44. Thus, from the WHO
• ICD (10) fits with the traditional medical model,
the disease-treatment model
• ICF (1) fits with the new functioning model
45. 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.
46. 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
47. 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, ….
48. 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.
49. 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.
50. 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 ?
