Careteam Technologies Inc. is leading a project that aims to deliver remote monitoring and virtual care to help seniors, those with underlying health conditions and other vulnerable patients get access to care from their homes and avoid hospitals during the pandemic.
Led by CEO Alexandra Greenhill, the company and its partners have received funding from B.C.’s Digital Technology Supercluster to support the project.
Curatio Networks Inc. has also received funding from the supercluster’s $60 million investment to fight COVID-19.
