IVADO joins envisAGE, a pan-Canadian initiative dedicated to ensuring quality aging, as an Innovation Hub.

IVADO will act as an Innovation Hub in the envisAGE ecosystem, a pan-Canadian initiative that promotes quality aging through innovation.

In this role, IVADO will enable the ecosystem to increase its knowledge and capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence in healthcare and AgeTech, alongside small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Beachhead envisAGE (centers measuring benefits and impacts) and Community Labs (organizations working with seniors and family caregivers to implement technological solutions).

By 2035, more than 25 per cent of Canadians will be over the age of 65. Most older Canadians believe technological advances can help them maintain relationships with family and friends, manage health, and stay safe, independent and active as they age.

The mission of envisAGE is to catalyze Canada’s AgeTech ecosystem by helping innovators grow and scale their enterprises and deliver technology solutions that will change the lives of Canadians.

The unique collaborative model of envisAGE brings together key players in the ecosystem to ensure solutions meet market needs to address challenges of aging. In this important role, IVADO will leverage the knowledge and capabilities to enable the adoption of new technologies in different settings across Canada, benefiting older adults, caregivers, and service providers.

Co-led by MEDTEQ+ and AGE-WELL, envisAGE is funded through the Government of Canada’s Strategic Innovation Fund, with additional contributions from the Government of Quebec, industry, non-profits, and other partners.
