While technological innovation offers tremendous new opportunities, there are challenges related to policy, regulation and decision-making in the care of older persons. It is also important to understand how different sectors and stakeholders can work together to develop innovative solutions. The research conducted in POLICY-TECH centres around understanding the current policy and regulatory landscape in Canada related to health technologies for seniors’ health, developing recommendations for how policy frameworks and collaborative partnerships might evolve to support development and appropriate adoption of health technology innovations, and understanding how technological innovations, such as those that yield 'big data', can be used to inform health system decision-making. POLICY-TECH will deliver in-depth information that will be crucial for AGE-WELL partners as they attempt to bring new technologies and tools to the market. The research will also drive new healthcare policies.
