Abstract

Today, many digital technical objects are introduced in geriatric care as part of non-medicinal interventions. This arrival generates both rejection and enthusiasm among caregivers. Moreover, many of these objects remain in the closet. It is therefore necessary to take into account a few elements in order to consider their appropriation.

Keywords: aménagement; appropriation; design; gerontechnology; gérontechnologie; intervention non médicamenteuse; non-drug intervention.
