March 18, 2020


Alex Mihailidis 2020TORONTO – Are you an entrepreneur or startup with a technology-based solution that can support the health and quality of life of seniors or their caregivers?

“AGE-WELL is propelling forward the technology and aging sector to ensure that technologies have an impact on people’s lives, and generate social and economic benefits for Canadians,” says Dr. Mihailidis.
