During my PhD
I focused on addressing the challenges presented by an aging population, particularly in facilitating the safe and independent living of older adults in their own homes. My research centered on identifying and managing risks in daily life, encompassing functional issues such as falls, risk of falls, medication management, and domestic accidents, as well as psychological and social concerns, including social isolation and loneliness. My primary objective for this thesis was to contribute to the design and evaluation of technological solutions aiming at supporting older adults at home. I am particularly interested in exploring the acceptability and adoption of these technologies.

I am particularly interested in exploring the acceptability and adoption of these technologies.
Through my work, I participated in two interdisciplinary research programs. In the first project, called BIRDS (Bio-Immersive Risk Detection System), I developed a connected device using artificial intelligence methods to detect functional risk situations within the homes of older adults. In this context, I conducted a comprehensive literature review and identified the barriers to the adoption of such devices by the aging population. Concurrently, I contributed to the development of a taxonomy of risk situations.

The second project, SOBEEZY, focused on a connected device incorporating a voice assistant, designed through an integrated and person-centered approach to address psychological and social risks, such as isolation and loneliness, among older adults living at home. This work aimed to assess the acceptability of the device in a sample of 109 older adults living at home in four pilot cities (Pessac, St-Jean-de-Luz, St-Yrieix-la-Perche, Langon).My research evaluated the acceptability of this technology among older adults living at home. This research was conducted during the COVID-19 crisis when older adults were particularly vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation due to sanitary restrictions.

In parallel to these projects, I conducted research on the Alzheimer's Village, a “Friendly” initiative for older adults with cognitive impairment. In this research, I focused on the impact of such initiatives on the public's perception of Alzheimer's disease.

In summary, my research interests revolve around enhancing the well-being of older adults by leveraging technology to mitigate risks and promote independent living. I am committed to exploring the acceptability and adoption of these technologies to ensure their real-world effectiveness.

In my current post-doctoral position, I am collaborating Pierre-Yves Oudeyer and Hélène Sauzéon. In the continuation of my research, I am exploring a technology based on the attentional training aimed at promoting or sustaining the cognitive well-being of individuals. This kind of device contribute to successful aging and home maintenance in an interconnected manner and also to the cognitive rehabilitation program. Thus, my post-doctoral research now focuses on the concepts of motivation, the learning process, and cognitive functioning.
