Symposium on “Health, Architecture, and Urban Space – Digital Environments”

Friday, October 20, 2017, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Montpellier National School of Architecture (ENSAM), Lecture Hall 1

Conference open to healthcare professionals, architecture and urban planning professionals, IT specialists, local government officials, and users involved in or interested in issues related to the digital environment, living spaces, architecture, and health.
E-health and connected cities are part of what can be called "augmented humans" thanks to digital technology, robotics, home automation, and artificial intelligence. The development of different living spaces using digital technologies for all ages, activities, and life constraints affects us all globally, but also as individuals.
New adaptations are emerging in response to changes in lifestyles, living spaces, and land use planning. In these new living environments, particularly in healthcare, where telemedicine is not the only digital technology, and in architecture and urban spaces, where home automation is not the only digital technology, individuals, or "augmented humans," are constantly exposed to data flows in which they participate voluntarily or involuntarily, more or less consciously.
The aim of the conference is to bring together all these perspectives in order to better understand their implications and the best way to address them in terms of health in our living environments and over time.
Registration is free but mandatory.
