Enter CABHI. CABHI provides funding and support to innovators for the development, testing and dissemination of new ideas and technologies that address unmet brain health and seniors' care needs, with a specific focus on dementia. It brings together partners in the health care, science, industry, not-for-profit and government sectors with a clear aim to help improve quality of life for the Canadian and global aging population. One of its most important goals is to provide older adults the opportunity to age and thrive safely - and with dignity - in the setting of their choice while maintaining their cognitive, emotional and physical well-being. In the five short years since its inception, CABHI has developed a global reputation as the go-to organization that innovators seek out to advance their work in the seniors' health and residential care sector. CABHI has substantially raised Ontario and Canada's global profile in the seniors' innovations sector. It continues to partner with international innovation consortia and high-profile innovators, including an increasing number from Silicon Valley, the Israeli tech incubators and other innovation hot spots. In short, it has taken less than half a decade to bring the best aging tech solutions from around the world to Canadians, while helping Canadian innovators reach global markets. The innovations supported by CABHI have brought many sought-after solutions to the Canadian healthcare system by accelerating new models of care and technological solutions to improve health outcomes and quality of life for seniors and their families. All the while, they have created greater efficiencies and unlocked potential savings for the provincial healthcare systems, in addition to stimulating economic opportunities nationally. However, there is more to do. 2020 BAYCREST IMPACT 19 (continued)
