AVISÉ Program Concludes Its Call by Funding Nine New Collaborative Projects, including IRIS-Ainés, presented by Nosotech

The third and final round of the AVISÉ program, supported by MEDTEQ+, brings the total number of projects funded this year to 24. Among them, four SMEs (including Nosotech), whose projects are supported by envisAGE, are continuing to validate solutions that address the realities and needs associated with aging.

IRIS-Aînés: Proactive Management of Respiratory Virus Outbreaks in Senior Living Facilities for the Benefit of Residents and the Health Care System

The IRIS-Aînés project, presented by Nosotech, relies on a real-time electronic alert and geolocation solution to accelerate the detection of respiratory virus cases and support more proactive outbreak management in senior living facilities. By facilitating the transmission and tracking of information between facilities and infection prevention and control teams, the solution could help reduce the spread of infections and their resulting consequences. The OROT team—Santé Québec Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal – Universitaire—will evaluate the effects of IRIS-Aînés on outbreak management, hospital transfers, attack rates, and case fatality rates. The project will thus document the potential benefits of this approach for residents, staff, and the healthcare system.
