The McMaster Institute for Research on Aging (MIRA) is thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration with Vyta—Powered by Bayshore HealthCare, aimed at empowering older adults and their caregivers. Connecting dynamic, relevant evidence-based research of the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal with the Vyta website, this partnership aims to create a convenient, accessible pathway for older adults and their caregivers to support aging-in-pace and inform decision-making on aging well.
Enhancing Access to Trusted Information
The collaboration will integrate nearly 1,000 pieces of evidence-based content, including blog posts, “Hitting the Headlines” posts, and video posts from the Optimal Aging Portal, into the Vyta platform. This strategic initiative will also include new content generated within the licensing term, with an average of 6-8 new blog-type articles per month. This vast library of resources will simplify care management and provide a convenient, one-stop resource for aging well.
