Description:
AGE-WELL, Canada’s AgeTech network, is dedicated to the creation of technologies and services that benefit older adults and caregivers. Our mission is to help older Canadians maintain their independence, health and quality of life through technologies, programs and services that increase their safety, support their independent living, and enhance their social participation.
AGE-WELL has identified 8 Challenge Areas – difficult and complex problem areas found through extensive public consultation – that demand innovation and deployment of real-world solutions. EPIC Conference (2025) provides a unique platform for AGE-WELL and EPIC-AT students, postdoctoral fellows, research staff and ECRs to present their research alongside their stakeholder partners. It is an opportunity to showcase the potential impact of this work while connecting with colleagues from around the world. Each session will also feature a segment called Moving the Dial that highlights how AGE-WELL partners and supported startups are improving quality of life for older adults and caregivers across Canada.
