Abstract

Dependency care is a real public health issue. The lengthening of life expectancy and the increase in polypathologies require health policies that are as close as possible to the needs of the elderly. The World Health Organisation has set up a program to encourage healthy ageing. Based on this program, the Toulouse gerontopôle has developed digital tools for the prevention, evaluation, monitoring and management of ageing in order to detect and monitor 200,000 elderly people in Occitania within five years.

Keywords: ageing; care management; dependency; digital; dépendance; numérique; prevention; prise en charge; prévention; vieillissement.
