The aim of this proposal consists in answering to the research question: how to improve the well-being of the elderly, in a context where the pandemic has revealed the limits of existing measures and institutions. In such a perspective, the project is based on two main phases; first a benchmark of existing international initiatives and identification of the best practices in the domain, and second the implementation of such best practices in a local context: the city of Laval (Québec).

The main objective is to identify innovative solutions to improve the well-being of the elderly as one of the major societal problems of today economy. After a careful benchmark of the initiatives developed in this domain in different countries, the study aims at testing and implementing the best practices in the Canadian city of Laval. A related objective is to assess the use and the limits of advanced technologies such as AI to contribute to the main objective.
