Two Hamilton innovators win national Arthritis Ideator Awards
Two Hamiltonians were among 4 winners (and eight finalists) in a national competition which provides funding for innovative projects that help people suffering from arthritis.
The Arthritis Ideator Program — run by the Arthritis Society — received 21 submissions from innovators, entrepreneurs, and startups across Canada working on solutions to help improve the lives of people with the disease. Lianna Genovese and Matthew Rosato invented devices to assist those suffering from arthritis. Two of the winning the awards were Guided Hands by ImaginAble Solutions and WithinStride by PROVA Innovations, both from Hamilton, Ontario.
The Arthritis Ideator Program is awarding a total of $200,000 — with the top three projects receiving a $50,000 prize, as well as a People’s Choice Award of $50,000 based on popular votes.
