The Committee was pleased to be invited to the inaugural launch of the Vancouver Chapter of Aging 2.0, a local network of innovators who harness technology and innovation to improve aging and the senior care sector. The event was supported by Telus, who graciously provided space for this event at their Innovation Centre in downtown Vancouver.
SAC member Eddy Elmer took the opportunity to discuss some findings from the Committee’s report on social isolation and loneliness, focusing on technology-related innovations to help reduce and prevent these problems among older adults and their families.
This was an informative and enjoyable event and we look forward to learning more from Aging 2.0 about the role of innovation in improving seniors’ health and well-being.
