Sunnybrook & Women's College Health Sciences Centre

Sunnybrook & Women's College Health Sciences Centre

We are a research and development laboratory operating in a
university teaching hospital. We conduct basic research that is
funded by government research agencies. However, we also perform
a significant amount of contract research for industry and we
have a track record of developing and transferring to the
marketplace innovative products to assist the population of
elderly and disabled people.

Industries come to us to license new products that have been
developed within our laboratories or to seek assistance in
developing or improving their own products. We have also
provided clinical evaluation services.

We are unusual because our work extends from very fundamental
research through to supporting the marketing efforts of companies
that have licensed our products. We have experience with
organizing trade shows, trade show presentations and with other
selling efforts in the United States, Japan and Europe.

Our basic research is focused primarily on balance control and
the prevention of falls in the elderly population and on
understanding and treating dementia and strokes. Our products
include bathtub, toileting aids, grad bars, walking aids, powered
wheelchairs, patient lifting and moving systems, infection
control devices and electronic monitoring systems.
