Co-creation by and for seniors of a single window in mobility to optimize their autonomy

By facilitating the mobility of seniors, it is a whole area of social integration and the health of seniors that is improving. The goal of the MOBILAÎNÉS one-stop shop project is to develop a tool adapted to the reality of seniors to help them identify the mode of transportation that meets their needs and preferences.

Users and actors from the mobility sector will be united in a co-creation activity, by and for seniors, of a one-stop shop that will enable people to move where, when and how they want.This collaboration, which focuses on the sharing of knowledge and experience of representatives of several sectors such as public services, community organizations, citizen-seniors and research, will be organized around three main stages. As a first step, the existing tools will have to be analyzed to see the relevant operations and thus better determine the format and content of an optimal window. Then, a prototype of this "bespoke" window will be created and it will include, for example, an interactive website and 24-hour hotline. Various activities organized with seniors and local stakeholders will anticipate user journeys to highlight the pitfalls and facilitators that will be used to develop and improve the MOBILAÎNÉS one-stop shop. In addition, the one-stop shop will also be evaluated according to criteria determined by the team. Finally, changes in mobility through single window use will be documented by and with seniors.

The one-stop shop MOBILAÎNÉS will therefore bring together in one place the various accessible transportation options to enhance their use, while offering convenience and ease of use in order to help seniors identify the mode of transportation that suits them best.
In parallel with this project, the interactions between the members of the intersectoral team will be considered and studied to identify, then share with other teams, the best practices to be implemented during co-creation activities in a living laboratory context.

This research project is initiated by the Laboratory for Innovations by and for Seniors (LIPPA) of the Center for Research on Aging (CdRV). For more information on this one, see the project page MOBILAÎNÉS on their website.
