On September 24, NodOn participated in a remarkable initiative: an intergenerational meeting organized by the Gérontopôle Centre-Val de Loire to rethink together the solutions of tomorrow to serve our elders.

The Gerontopoles: centers of excellence serving aging
The Gérontopôles are regional structures dedicated to research, innovation and improving the care of aging. As true centers of expertise, they bring together researchers, health professionals, businesses and public stakeholders around a common goal: developing innovative solutions to promote healthy aging.
The Gérontopôle Centre-Val de Loire, a partner of this day, perfectly illustrates this collaborative approach by bringing together regional players in the silver economy and promoting the emergence of concrete projects for the benefit of the elderly.
A unique intergenerational approach
The September 24 event, organized in partnership with FEHAP and FEHAP Centre-Val de Loire at the MAME premises in Tours, had a remarkable feature: bringing together children, seniors, start-uppers and professionals around the same discussion table.
This intergenerational approach allows for a cross-fertilization of perspectives and the emergence of innovative solutions based on the real needs expressed by those primarily concerned.

Four pillars for rethinking healthy aging
The discussions were structured around four essential themes:
🏠 Habitat
How can we adapt our homes and living arrangements to the changing needs of our elders?
🤝 Sociability
What solutions are there to combat isolation and maintain social ties?
🏙️ Urban planning and public space
How can our cities better welcome and include older people?
🩺 Health
What innovations are there for appropriate medical monitoring and maintaining autonomy?
NodOn: technological expertise in the service of home care
Aurélien Blaise, Sales Director of NodOn, represented our company during this day. His participation in the round table hosted by the Orléans Technopole enabled participants to enlighten themselves on the concrete contributions of new technologies in improving the daily lives of seniors.
His intervention focused particularly on two areas where NodOn is developing recognized expertise:
🏡 Smart home support
Our home automation solutions allow you to adapt your home to the specific needs of the elderly:
- Simplified control of heating and lighting
- Automatic incident detection (falls, doors left open)
- Remote control to reassure families
🏢 Connected residences
With numerous projects completed, NodOn supports managers of senior residences in the digitalization of their establishments:
- Energy optimization of buildings
- Improved comfort for residents
- Support tools for healthcare teams
- Non-intrusive monitoring solutions
A collective dynamic that promises a bright future
This meeting perfectly illustrates the importance of dialogue between technological innovation and human needs. As one senior participant pointed out: "Moments like this are better than a steak!" - a phrase that alone sums up the enthusiasm generated by these constructive exchanges.
The presence of companies like NodOn alongside associations, start-ups (Alter'Incub Centre-Val de Loire, SC2S, weplus, SMILE, Jeunesse et habitat) and public actors demonstrates that innovation in the service of healthy aging requires a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach.
Towards new projects
This edition confirms the relevance of the intergenerational approach initiated by the Gérontopôle Centre-Val de Loire. The ideas and synergies born from this day pave the way for new concrete projects to serve our elders.
At NodOn, we are convinced that technology, when designed with and for users, can significantly improve the quality of life of seniors. This participation reinforces our commitment to developing solutions that are increasingly adapted to the challenges of our aging society.
