On September 20 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, there will be a Special Edition of the Circle Revive & Thrive discussion with Goldie Nejat, PhD, and Cristina Getson, BASc, as they discuss the adoption of socially assistive robots in long-term, private, and hospital care. Moderated by Shelley McClure, Circle Facilitator, the event will feature a discussion of new research in this area and outline some surprising findings of a new AGE-WELL study, the first exploratory Human-Robot Interaction study of its kind, in a long-term care home. Practical examples will be offered about how health leaders can use this information in their own environment.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
