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.

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，医疗费用占该省预算的70%。通过应用卫生技术实现医疗保健服务数字化被认为是在应对成本上升的同时改善患者结局的关键战略。自2011年以来，NSERC为医疗保健管理和健康研究与促进研究项目的技术解决方案提供的BUILD-IE资金使百年学院能够成功地支持安大略省的中小企业克服应用研究、技术开发和商业化方面的挑战，这些领域包括用于患者教育的软件编程、模拟和游戏应用程序，以及慢性病的自我管理。到目前为止，百年团队已经完成了130多个项目，90多个行业合作伙伴创造了138项新的健康技术，其中120多项已成功商业化。安大略省医疗技术部门的持续增长，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、机械工程和生物医学工程等领域扩大应用研究和技术开发支持的日益增长的需求，意味着百年学院现在寻求NSERC Extended-IE资金，以更新其医疗保健管理和健康研究与促进研究项目的技术解决方案。NSERC Extended-IE的投资将使该学院能够帮助公司克服与卫生技术设计、开发和商业化相关的重大科学和技术挑战，并提高它们开发能够在全球卫生保健市场上竞争的产品的能力。
