On April 20th, four Canadian innovators received the prestigious Arthritis Ideator Award™ from Arthritis Society Canada at its second annual pitch-style competition event held in Toronto. The Arthritis Ideator Awards™ recognizes the best innovations aimed at improving the lives of people living with arthritis.

“Arthritis is not well understood and there are so many myths about it,” says Trish Barbato, president & CEO of Arthritis Society Canada. “The Arthritis Ideator Awards™ are part of our bold Innovation Strategy. We are excited to showcase innovations that will allow us to put a spotlight on this group of chronic, debilitating diseases, by supporting solutions to help the six million Canadians who manage these conditions daily."
