How AgeTech Can Help Promote Healthy Lifestyles and Wellness
06/06/2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging. Only 1 in 3 older Canadians gets the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week.i Almost 1 in 5 Canadian seniors has experienced emotional distress in the past year, which they found difficult to cope with on their own.ii Innovative AgeTech solutions can help address these challenges by offering a way to track, monitor and improve physical and mental health, while empowering older adults to take control of their well-being.
Webinar participants will learn about:
- Technologies and services that can help people develop and maintain healthy behaviours
- Important factors that contribute to health outcomes
- Wearables, apps and other innovative solutions that are in the pipeline – or already on the market
WHEN: Tuesday, June 6, 2023 at 2:00 PM EDT – 3:00 PM EDT
