About

Justine de Kerimel is a leading researcher in geriatric care and public health, whose work is reshaping how healthcare systems support aging populations. Her primary research focuses on the implementation of the World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) programme, a pioneering framework designed to prevent and manage functional decline in older adults. De Kerimel’s major contributions include leading the INSPIRE ICOPE-CARE programme, a large-scale initiative in France’s Occitania region that translates the WHO’s ICOPE guidelines into real-world clinical practice. Her most-cited paper, a 2022 prospective study on implementing the ICOPE programme, has garnered 185 citations, demonstrating its profound impact on the field. This work, alongside her 2021 framework paper (105 citations), provides a practical roadmap for healthcare providers to screen for intrinsic capacity declines and deliver person-centered care. By demonstrating the feasibility of integrating ICOPE into routine care, de Kerimel is helping to address the global challenge of aging populations, reducing dependency and improving quality of life. Her research is essential reading for anyone interested in gerontology, health systems strengthening, or the translation of global health policies into actionable, community-based interventions.
