About
Dr. Sandrine Sourdet is a leading geriatrician whose work centers on healthy aging, frailty prevention, and integrated care models for older adults. Her most impactful contribution is the pioneering implementation of the WHO’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) program in France’s Occitania region. Her landmark paper on the INSPIRE ICOPE-CARE framework (105 citations) details how this community-based approach systematically screens for declines in intrinsic capacity—such as cognition, mobility, and nutrition—and delivers personalized interventions to maintain independence. Dr. Sourdet’s research demonstrates that proactive, person-centered care can reduce the burden of dependency, a critical challenge for aging populations worldwide. Her work bridges global health policy with local, actionable strategies, making her a key figure in translating the WHO’s vision into real-world practice. For students and researchers, Dr. Sourdet exemplifies how clinical geriatrics, public health, and implementation science converge to reshape the future of aging—proving that with the right framework, we can extend not just lifespan, but healthspan.
