[HospiSenior: the prototype of a hospital room for the elderly].

Abstract

HospiSenior is an innovative design approach for co-designing and testing a hospital room adapted to the needs of the elderly. It has been developed by the Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire (GCS) des Hôpitaux Universitaires du Grand Ouest (Hugo) as a result of collaborative work between the hospital teams of Hugo's five university hospital centers (CHU) (CHU Angers, CHU Brest, CHU Rennes, CHU Nantes and CHU Tours) and close partnerships. As a result, there are a number of exciting developments in store for the user evaluation, a clinical study is underway and a new Hugo geriatrics and gerontology research network has been set up!
