Our Platforms
The Centre is dedicated to translating research into practice to improve the health, autonomy and quality of life of older by coordinating and implementing projects underpinned by four implementation latforms.
Our four main implementation platforms coordinate multiple research initiatives that are translating research into practice.
Platform 1
Transformative Technologies
Transformative technologies, artificial intelligence, virtual care, and adapted living environments leverage technological innovations to reimagine healthcare delivery and improve seniors’ quality of life. These approaches form part of the health sector’s digital transformation, enabling solutions that are more accessible, tailored, and effective.
Platform 2
Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
Big data and predictive analytics encompass large, complex datasets generated across the healthcare landscape—from electronic health records and connected devices to health apps and beyond. Exploiting these data in areas such as quality-indicator analysis, program evaluation, artificial intelligence, diagnostics, and biomarkers helps transform clinical practice, enhance patient outcomes, and drive medical innovation.
Platform 3
Community Liaison and Education
Communities of practice bring together a diverse range of stakeholders—healthcare professionals, researchers, patients, managers, community members, and others—who share a common interest in healthy aging. These groups foster knowledge exchange, collaborative learning, and innovation, ensuring that initiatives remain closely aligned with seniors’ specific needs
Platform 4
Autonomy, Mobility and Independance
Supporting autonomy, mobility, and independence is essential for enhancing quality of life and promoting active aging. This involves implementing proven programs and initiatives designed to preserve and strengthen these capacities, such as the DuraGyms initiative, exercise parks specially designed for seniors, online exercise programs, and tailored nutritional recommendations.
