STAR has received funding from AGE-WELL since 2022 to lead AGE-WELL’s Challenge Area on Healthy Lifestyles and Wellness with the key objective to develop a community of practice around the challenge area. An environmental scan of AgeTech in this sector was carried out and a book within AGE-WELL and Springer's AgeTech book series is being developed by Dr Sixsmith and other SFU researchers. The short book will cover transformative technologies for health, wellness, and independent living and will be written in accessible language appropriate to a multidisciplinary and worldwide readership. Stay tuned for a book publication date in 2024!
