Panel on new technologies and adaptation to neurocognitive disorders (French) 

During COVID-19, seniors' participation decreased significantly due to their lack of knowledge of technology, excluding them from community life. The "Ainés branchés" project specifically targets the following objectives

• To support the social participation and inclusion of seniors
• To provide material computer assistance through a loan or a donation to seniors who cannot own their own computer

In addition to:

• Promote volunteerism among seniors and other generations (computer trainers).

By giving courses to seniors, we offer them direct technological support, but we also take the opportunity to explain and include the benefits of communication, through these trainings. We rely on the participatory dimension of the senior, not only at the time of the training, but also in the activities of the sector.

Inform participants of the cutting-edge technologies that are available for people with Alzheimer's disease. Valerie Larochelle, CEO of Eugeria will present technologies used in Europe and North America to improve the quality of life of people with Alzheimer's. From reducing the risk of wandering and falling to providing cognitive stimulation, these technologies help people remain in their homes. Properly designing products for people with cognitive disorders is a major challenge; Ms. Larochelle will explain the design elements of these products that make them successful.
