PhD contract offer 2024-2027

Supporting in-home care for older people in France and Japan: How can we reconcile the preference for homecare with the implementation of a homecare policy? of economically, socially and ethically sustainable solutions in the digital age?

This PhD research project is part of INNOVCARE ( https://innovcare.hypotheses.org/ ): Care-led innovation - the case of eldercare in Japan and in France.
It aims at addressing the challenges of aging and dependency, particularly focusing on the preference for home care over nursing homes. It wants to highlight issues such as access to care, social isolation, and the potential role of digital technologies in mitigating these challenges. The main objective is to promote innovation that allows older individuals to maintain autonomy while receiving quality care at home, while also adhering to ethical and legal guidelines regarding health data. The research hypotheses emphasize the importance of empowering older people, ensuring their ability to move freely, make decisions, and engage socially. The methodology involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining ethnographic observations with systemic analysis, and includes a comparison between France and Japan to explore different approaches to aging, healthcare, and digital innovation.
