Get involved

We welcome older adults who may wish to take part in studies, and clinicians or organizations interested in collaboration — whether you bring domain expertise, deployment partnerships, or new evaluation ideas.

Participate as an older adult or caregiver

Try the voice-and-avatar companion in a guided session, share your experience, and help shape features that matter to real users. Sessions are typically 30–60 minutes, conducted remotely or on campus.

Partner as a clinician or organization

If you run a clinic, home-care agency, or senior-living community and are interested in piloting CompanionCare, we can discuss co-design, deployment, and evaluation partnerships.

How to reach us

Email deilamse@mcmaster.ca to discuss participation, partnerships, or collaboration.

If you were invited to a study, you can also use the contact details from your invitation. We are based at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
