Halifax senior monitoring startup Tenera Care is among the companies accepted into the Creative Destruction Lab’s Recovery accelerator program.
The COVID-19 inspired course is a joint project with Montreal-based artificial intelligence hub Scale AI. It aims to rapidly commercialize innovations that could help protect public health or accelerate the economic recovery.
Tenera uses wearable devices to track the physical locations of seniors’ home residents, staff and visitors to within six inches. The technology has potential applications in contact tracing and social distancing enforcement.
