Programme NERVE (Neurotech Entrepreneurship to Validate Emerging Innovations)

Trexo Robotics, an Ontario Brain Institute portfolio company, creates mobility devices that help children with disabilities remain upright for longer periods and repeat movements to learn how to walk with a healthy gait pattern. The Trexo gait trainer is a long-awaited dream come true for many families.

It was in that moment that he decided to take matters into his own hands – someone had to fundamentally transform mental health treatments – and it had to be him.

Dans les relations les plus enrichissantes, chaque personne apporte sa contribution. Lorsque l’IOC s’associe à d’autres organisations, nous considérons les façons dont chaque partie peut jouer un rôle utile dans l’atteinte d’un objectif commun.

La plateforme Welbi en est un parfait exemple. Innovation d’une entreprise en démarrage innovante d’Ottawa, Welbi aide les résidences pour personnes âgées à réduire l’isolement social et agit comme un assistant personnel automatisant les tâches administratives, fournissant des alertes et faisant des recommandations au personnel afin qu’il puisse mieux adapter ses services aux besoins de sa communauté.
