Led by Graham Flick, PhD, Knowledge Broker at CABHI, the session explored the growing agetech ecosystem and the pathways available to transform research into real-world solutions. Participants learned about the CABHI programs and support available to help them move their research from lab to market, including the CABHI Science Collaborative (CSC), the NextGen Support Package, Ignite, and Fuel. The discussion also emphasized the power of collaboration, highlighting how connections between researchers, innovators, healthcare organizations, older persons, and caregivers can help drive change in aging and brain health.
In addition to spotlighting CABHI's Brain Base at Dalhousie University, attendees were encouraged to think beyond research publication and really consider how their work can create meaningful impacts on people's lives. Participants learned how discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, public health, aging, computer science, and other related fields can be transformed into products, policies and partnerships that support older persons, caregivers, and healthcare systems.
