The IDEA Lab brings diverse people together to contribute to Innovation in DEmentia care and Aging. We are an intergenerational community with shared values who innovate together towards improving dementia and older people care.
We do Patient-Oriented Research (POR) for all our projects. It’s citizen science where everyone does their part to contribute and make the world a better place. Our projects with patient and family partners are potent tools for students, at all levels, to gain practical skills in knowledge translation (KT), academic and professional advancement. We learn from each other and support each other’s growth. Our productivity outcomes matter and we intend to share through papers, presentations, our website and by elevating voices for greater visibility.
We are curious and seek to understand how technologies can be best used for humanity. We engage in democratic collaboration in scientific research for social good and justice.
Our research team values:
I: Inclusion
D: Diversity
E: Equity
A: Accessibility
Everyone is valued in our lab. Relationships are our foundation.
