managing an ostomy is complex physically and mentally. You need to keep your wits about you to keep on top of it.
Our guest speaker Lia Tsotsos, Director of the Centre for Elder Research (CER) at Sheridan College in Oakville, will share highlights
of research from CER exploring ways that technology use, participation in the arts, and diverse community engagement can promote cognitive health among older adults.
Cognitive health is the ability to clearly think, learn, and remember, all key to performing everyday activities.
Since its founding in 2003, The Centre for Elder Research has become known for practical innovative research, community engagement and creative interdisciplinary partnerships all focused on improving the lives of older Canadians. For example, how technology, design and community innovation can help older adults stay safe and sound in their own homes longer.
Lia Tsotsos was appointed Director of the Centre in January 2018 after nearly 7 years on its team. She holds a phD in neuroscience from mcmaster University and an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and Health Science from York University. Since joining CER, she has contributed significantly to its national recognition and helped design new apps, launch innovative online platforms and develop evidence- based services for community and industry use.
