Care Anywhere is a new graduate training program funded under NSERC’s CREATE program that aims to train a multidisciplinary group of graduate students to develop, deploy, and evaluate the impact of smart biosensing technologies used to improve the quality of life for older adults & those with chronic diseases.
This program is open to graduate students from a wide variety of backgrounds – engineering, computer science, physical and occupational therapy, etc. We have admitted our first cohort of 9 students for September 2023 and the program will be funded through to August 2029.
