Serenity: pilot phase completed at nursing home

The Serenity project reaches a decisive milestone: the awareness phase at "Le Village" nursing home by Groupe Arpavie has come to an end. It is time to take stock of this field immersion.

Looking Back at the Pilot Phase

Since the project's launch in October 2023, the Serenity team has worked as close to the field as possible, within a real facility, with real residents and real caregivers. The goal of this first phase was not to immediately deploy the technological solution, but to raise awareness among staff about the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence.

This progressive approach is essential in the healthcare sector, where technology acceptance by professionals is a key success factor.

Key Takeaways

The pilot phase confirmed several hypotheses:

• Care teams are open to innovation, provided it serves their daily work and is not an additional burden.
• The demand for real-time information on residents' health status is strong, both from families and professionals.
• AI must be a decision-support tool, not a substitute for human judgment.

What's Next

Building on these insights, the Serenity team is now entering a new development phase. The partnership with IBM, announced in April, will accelerate the development of the continuous monitoring AI, leveraging the concrete feedback gathered in the field.

The ambition remains intact: providing healthcare facilities with a reliable, ethical and high-performing tool to improve elderly care.
