Aviesan-Inserm invited to participate in the 1st Scientific Meeting of the African academy for sciences and arts (July 19th- 21st, 2016)
Almost two hundreds African scientists were invited to present their research programmes dealing with health, environment and agriculture. Aviesan-Inserm took this opportunity to speak of the new technologies developed in the industrial countries to help elderlies and incapacitated persons to stay home longer. The presentation highlighted the use of these technologies but also the ethical tensions they raised (the loss of privacy for example). During the debate with the audience, it turns out that these technologies will soon respond to the challenge of the growing aging population leaving now in the big urban centers of the middle income countries.
