The AGE-WELL (Aging Gracefully across Environments using Technology to Support Wellness, Engagement and Long Life) Network of Centres of Excellence Inc. is a national research network in technology and aging whose aim is to help older Canadians to maintain their independence, health and quality of life through accessible technologies that increase their safety and security, support their independent living, and enhance their social participation. AGE-WELL aims to jump-start the growth of innovative technologies that can assist older people and their families by improving their safety, helping them cope with dementia and other conditions, facilitating social contacts and easing the burden of caregivers. This presentation will provide an overview of the AGE-WELL network including new opportunities for researchers, trainees, and partners to become involved.
