AGE-WELL has officially opened the AGE-WELL Innovation Studio—an immersive space that brings to life the role of technology and thoughtfully designed environments in enabling people to age in place. Modelled after a typical one-bedroom apartment, the studio integrates smart-home systems, health monitoring devices, voice integrated personal aides and other cutting-edge technologies to show how they can seamlessly support daily activities and health needs.
More than just a demonstration space, the studio serves as a hub for startups, larger companies, researchers, senior living and home care organizations, older adults, caregivers, investors and other partners. It also enables practical testing of AgeTech solutions in a realistic environment, allowing researchers and developers to collect user feedback and refine their products.
Located at 800 Bay Street in Toronto, the AGE-WELL Innovation Studio was created by AGE-WELL with support from the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering at the University of Toronto and in partnership with IKEA Toronto Downtown, which provided the furniture; and AGE-WELL startups.
The AGE-WELL Innovation Studio gives you a unique platform to connect with the full aging and care ecosystem:
• Older adults & caregivers
• Senior living, LTC, and home care organizations
• Health professionals (OTs, PTs, PSWs and more)
• Researchers and thought leaders in aging & technology
• Investors and funders
• International & government delegations
