MASC Members:
We are partnering with Rehabilitation Services, University of Manitoba. We are hoping that you will want to join us.....
Dr. Amine Choukou, an Associate Professor in the College of Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Manitoba, needs your participation in a research study entitled:
Creating a research roadmap for ambient assistive living (AAL) in Manitoba.
The intention is to draw a roadmap to drive ambient assistive living (AAL) research and implementation in Manitoba and to enable older adults (OAs) to remain independently and safely in their homes, along with boosting the implementation of AAL technology in older adults (OAs) homes.
The study involves your participation in two three-hour discussions about AAL held at the Health Sciences Center (Winnipeg). Lunch and soft drinks will be available for you at no cost. The researcher will arrange the schedules and escort you from HSC main entrance on 810 Sherbrooke Street in Winnipeg.
Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw from the study at any time. If you would like to participate in the study please let me know by direct response to this email so I can share your email and name with Amine Choukou.
Your participation in the research will be of great importance in building a road map that ensures that older Manitobans and their families will reinforce the meaningful engagement of OAs in research and implementation projects and their contribution to a successful AAL research agenda in Manitoba.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Connie Newman, Executive Director
