EDMONTON, Canada – On Monday, March 27, 2023, ITEA (Innovation and Technology for European Advancement) announced 20 successful project labels that involved the culmination of 2751 person-years and 348 organizations from 22 different countries. One of the successful project labels is the TREAT Consortium, a collaboration of over 25 partner organizations from Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Turkiye, and Canada, led by Canadian entrepreneur Ms. Loreen Wales and her company My Viva Inc.
The TREAT Consortium will aim to help solve the management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and transform the market value chain for managing NCDs through the development of an integrated platform.
