Implementation Pillars

Our four main pillars coordinate multiple research initiatives that are translating research into practice.

Pillar

Transformative technologies, artificial intelligence, virtual care, and adapted living environments

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.

Pillar

Big data and predictive analytics

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.

Pillar

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.

Pillar

Autonomy, mobility and independance

Supporting autonomy, mobility, and independence is essential for enhancing quality of life and promoting active aging. This involves deploying 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.
