At the Silvered International Festival 2025, a standing-room audience gathered for \u201cTelecare without borders: AI, sensors & human-centered innovation for ageing at home,\u201d a discussion that explored how connected technologies are reshaping support for older adults. Moderated by Jessilyn Forigo, Managing Director of Global Partnerships at the International Federation on Ageing (IFA), the panel brought together three leaders in European telecare innovation: Jill Mulder, CEO of Genus Care (Netherlands); I\u00f1aki Bartolom\u00e9, CEO of Kwido (Spain); and Aur\u00e9lien Poisson, Director France of Legrand Care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Across 40 minutes, the group painted a picture of a care ecosystem under pressure\u2014aging populations, workforce shortages, evolving family structures\u2014and the role that technology, thoughtfully deployed, might play in reshaping what \u201ccare at home\u201d means in the coming decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telecare : A Sector Under Strain\u2014and in Transition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jessilyn Forigo<\/strong> opened with a reminder that societies are rethinking care itself. People want to age at home with independence and dignity, while the workforce needed to support them is shrinking. Technology, she said, \u201cdoes not replace human care but extends and enhances it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each panelist echoed that sentiment. Jill Mulder<\/strong> highlighted the \u201cdouble aging effect\u201d\u2014more older adults, fewer caregivers\u2014and argued that solving it requires three pillars: technology to bridge distance, involvement of families and friends, and predictive tools that can reduce unplanned interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aur\u00e9lien Poisson<\/strong> pointed to safety as the leading driver behind connected care adoption. For Legrand Care<\/a><\/strong>, with more than three million users in Europe, ensuring reliable links between older adults and caregivers is paramount. But the shift from social care toward more clinically oriented support at home is accelerating quickly, he said, transforming how industrial players must innovate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u00f1aki Bartolom\u00e9<\/strong>, meanwhile, offered a more sober note: \u201cWe are not attracting talent\u2026 to this sector or any sector,\u201d he said. Changing family structures and increasing social isolation compound the challenge. Technology, he argued, is quickly becoming the \u201conly ally\u201d capable of helping systems keep pace with demographic realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
