Aetonix Systems, which develops a platform that connects health-care professionals to patients and their families, is one of seven companies joining CTA Boston’s fall 2018 cohort.

Participants from across Canada in fields such as traditional ICT, health care, robotics and food tech receive office space in Cambridge, Mass., connections to local industry leaders and support from an individualized mentoring team.
