This project aims to co-develop, with partners, in a city-wide Living Lab. The City of Côte Saint-Luc is a model of support around intelligent environments to optimize the identification and use of community resources by frail and isolated older adults. These resources include services from the city, the health and social services system, and community organizations, combined with support from families and community volunteers. This digital ecosystem aims to enable older adults to live at home as long as possible.
