9-B. Mobilizing Innovation to Improve the Lives of People Living with Cognitive Change

The Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI) is a unique collaboration of health care, science, industry, nonprofit, and government partners working to improve quality of life for the world’s aging population. Based in Toronto, the center helps global innovators gain access to key user groups so they can test, develop, validate, and accelerate the adoption of accessible solutions to address issues facing older adults living with cognitive change. During this session, CABHI leaders will describe their innovative work and explain the importance of seeking input from those with lived experience. They’ll also help you consider how your organization might develop the skills, capacity, and readiness required to identify, introduce, implement, and sustain innovations that enhance the quality of long-term services and supports.
