Vieillissement démographiquethumb|350px|Évaluation de la part des plus de 65 ans dans la population mondiale. Le vieillissement démographique est la situation dans laquelle se trouve une société dont l'âge moyen ou le pourcentage de personnes âgées dans la population croît. On associe souvent à tort le phénomène du «vieillissement» uniquement aux pays développés à faible fécondité, mais presque tous les pays sont affectés, car il suffit d'un allongement de l'espérance de vie ou d'une diminution de la fécondité pour qu'il y ait vieillissement démographique.
RejuvenationRejuvenation is a medical discipline focused on the practical reversal of the aging process. Rejuvenation is distinct from life extension. Life extension strategies often study the causes of aging and try to oppose those causes in order to slow aging. Rejuvenation is the reversal of aging and thus requires a different strategy, namely repair of the damage that is associated with aging or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue. Rejuvenation can be a means of life extension, but most life extension strategies do not involve rejuvenation.
Prolongation de la durée de vie humaineLa science du prolongement de la durée de vie humaine, parfois aussi appelée médecine anti-âge est l'étude du ralentissement, de l'arrêt ou de l'inversion des processus de vieillissement pour prolonger la durée de vie maximale et moyenne chez l'homme. En 2018, un essai clinique a révélé que des médicaments anti-vieillissement expérimentaux peuvent protéger les personnes âgées contre des infections respiratoires potentiellement mortelles en rajeunissant leur système immunitaire.
Anti-aging movementThe anti-aging movement is a social movement devoted to eliminating or reversing aging, or reducing the effects of it. A substantial portion of the attention of the movement is on the possibilities for life extension, but there is also interest in techniques such as cosmetic surgery which ameliorate the effects of aging rather than delay or defeat it. There are many scientists of this movement with different approaches.
Aging-associated diseasesAn aging-associated disease (commonly termed age-related disease, ARD) is a disease that is most often seen with increasing frequency with increasing senescence. They are essentially complications of senescence, distinguished from the aging process itself because all adult animals age (with rare exceptions) but not all adult animals experience all age-associated diseases. The term does not refer to age-specific diseases, such as the childhood diseases chicken pox and measles, only diseases of the elderly.
Intelligence artificiellevignette|redresse=0.8|Les assistants personnels intelligents sont l'une des applications concrètes de l'intelligence artificielle dans les années 2010. L'intelligence artificielle (IA) est un ensemble de théories et de techniques visant à réaliser des machines capables de simuler l'intelligence humaine. Souvent classée dans le groupe des mathématiques et des sciences cognitives, elle fait appel à la neurobiologie computationnelle (particulièrement aux réseaux neuronaux) et à la logique mathématique (partie des mathématiques et de la philosophie).
Drug discoveryIn the fields of medicine, biotechnology and pharmacology, drug discovery is the process by which new candidate medications are discovered. Historically, drugs were discovered by identifying the active ingredient from traditional remedies or by serendipitous discovery, as with penicillin. More recently, chemical libraries of synthetic small molecules, natural products or extracts were screened in intact cells or whole organisms to identify substances that had a desirable therapeutic effect in a process known as classical pharmacology.
Marketing researchMarketing research is the systematic gathering, recording, and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data about issues relating to marketing products and services. The goal is to identify and assess how changing elements of the marketing mix impacts customer behavior. This involves specifying the data required to address these issues, then designing the method for collecting information, managing and implementing the data collection process.
Human population planningHuman population planning is the practice of managing the growth rate of a human population. The practice, traditionally referred to as population control, had historically been implemented mainly with the goal of increasing population growth, though from the 1950s to the 1980s, concerns about overpopulation and its effects on poverty, the environment and political stability led to efforts to reduce population growth rates in many countries.
Intelligence artificielle distribuéeL'Intelligence Artificielle Distribuée (IAD) est une branche de l'Intelligence artificielle. On distinguera : le principe d'adapter les approches de l'Intelligence Artificielle classique sur une architecture distribuée (par exemple avec une parallélisation des programmes) les approches où l'Intelligence Artificielle est conceptuellement répartie sur un certain nombre d'entités (réseaux de neurones artificiels, systèmes multi-agents) de façon similaire à une Intelligence distribuée.
