Les Affaires names Azimut Medical among Quebec agetech solutions for seniors' residences

In an article on the financial health of private seniors' residences (RPAs), Les Affaires journalist Maxime Bilodeau looked at initiatives that help residences across Quebec through difficult times.

The article adds that the technology could act as an insurance policy for residences, especially category 1 and 2 residences, which offer fewer care services.
