CIHR Pre-Conference workshop

Powering the next generation of patient centered ehealth innovations with science: Lessons learned from innovation communities

 Join the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to learn from our National experience on the creation of collaborations between innovation communities (researchers, academics, clinicians, policy makers) and the technology industry - a main component of the recent eHealth Innovations Partnership Program (eHIPP).

Participants will hear about how these groups can work together toward the common goal of developing innovative, effective and sustainable patient-centered eHealth solutions in the context of youth mental health and seniors with complex care needs.

This unique and interactive half-day event, to be held Sunday May 31st from 1:30pm to 4:00pm, will be of interest to researchers, academics, care providers, policy makers and health technology industries interested in working around patient centered solutions.
