Technology Solutions for Healthcare Management and Health Research and Promotion

预计到2035年，安大略省65岁或以上的人口数量将翻一番，到2024年，医疗保健费用将占省预算的70%。通过应用卫生技术实现医疗服务数字化被认为是改善患者治疗效果同时解决成本上升问题的关键战略。自2011年以来，NSERC Build-IE为医疗保健管理和健康研究与推广研究计划的技术解决方案提供资金，使百年学院能够成功支持安大略的健康技术部门的中小型企业克服应用研究，技术开发和商业化挑战，在软件编程，模拟和游戏应用领域的患者教育，和慢性病的自我管理。迄今为止，百年团队已与90多个行业合作伙伴完成了130多个项目，创造了138项新颖的健康技术，其中120多项已成功商业化。安大略卫生技术行业的持续增长，以及公司对机器学习、数据分析、自然语言处理、图像处理、信号处理、机器人等领域扩大应用研究和技术开发支持的日益增长的需求，机械工程和生物医学工程，这意味着百年纪念学院现在寻求NSERC扩展IE资金，以更新其医疗保健管理和健康研究与促进研究计划的技术解决方案。NSERC Extend-IE投资将使学院能够帮助公司克服与健康技术设计，开发和商业化相关的重大科学和技术挑战，并提高他们开发能够在全球医疗保健市场竞争的产品的能力。

The number of Ontarioans aged 65 years or older is expected to double by 2035, contributing to healthcare costs consuming 70% of the provincial budget by 2024. Digitizing healthcare delivery through the application of health technologies is recognized as a key strategy to improving patient outcomes while addressing rising costs. Since 2011, NSERC Build-IE funding for the Technology Solutions for Healthcare Management and Health Research and Promotion research program has enabled Centennial College to successfully support Ontario's health technology sector's small- and medium-sized enterprises overcome applied research, technology development and commercialization challenges in the areas of software programming, simulation and gaming applications for patient education, and self-management of chronic conditions. To date, the Centennial team has completed over 130 projects with 90+ industry partners creating 138 novel health technology technologies, of which over 120 have been successfully commercialized. The continued growth of Ontario's health technology sector, and companies' increasing demand for expanded applied research and technology development support in areas such as machine learning, data analytics, natural language processing, image processing, signal processing, robotics, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, means that Centennial College now seeks NSERC Extend-IE funding to renew its Technology Solutions for Healthcare Management and Health Research and Promotion research program . NSERC Extend-IE investment will enable the College to help companies overcome significant scientific and technical challenges related to health technology design, development and commercialization and increase their ability to develop products that can compete in the global healthcare market.
