L2M –SynapPlay

This project aims to help older adults and people with neurological conditions such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease stay independent longer by developing a tablet-based digital therapeutic tool called SynapPlay. The platform combines physical and cognitive tasks with real-time feedback to improve balance, thinking skills, and motor control, all from the comfort of home. Through interviews and co-design workshops with older adults, caregivers, and healthcare providers, the project will identify key features and accessibility needs. The goal is to create a simple and effective home-based rehabilitation solution that supports healthy aging, reduces the burden on clinics, and builds on Canadian research to improve lives and strengthen digital health innovation.
