This proposed research program addresses the current Canadian healthcare challenges and closely aligns our efforts and initiatives with the leading health technology trends. In response to the demand from our industry partners, we aim to develop tools and solutions for safe health technology applications that will result in valuable products and services for their patients and clients. Three of Sheridan's research centers will join forces in this research program; the Centre for Mobile Innovation (CMI), the Centre for Elder Research (CER), and the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies (CAMDT). We will combine Information and Communications Technology (ICT), health and wellness, and manufacturing expertise from our leading healthcare researchers and practitioners to focus on two research themes: Mobile Health (mHealth), and Health and Machine Learning (ML). These themes reflect the needs of existing, new and forthcoming partners who are part of Sheridan's research network and have the potential to significantly impact local, provincial and Canadian economic recovery. Through this program, we will leverage advanced technologies, including intelligent and immersive software platforms and sophisticated manufacturing tools as part of mHealth product and app development workflow. We will work with our partners and support them to better identify, understand and interact with their target users through structured testing, implementation and usability studies. Up to 70 students will be trained on using state-of-the-art technologies, tools and methodologies. This program will support job creation through HQP training for the Canadian workforce. Furthermore, we will capitalize on our strong relationship with local and regional Economic Development Offices in the Sheridan area (Oakville, Mississauga, and Brampton). This research program is expected to improve production pipeline applications for the healthcare industries from concept to delivery. The key economic benefits include: 1)?cost savings to Canadian healthcare systems; 2) supporting the growth of our business partners through job creation and increasing their market share; and 3)?contributing to advanced student training.

这一拟议的研究计划解决了加拿大当前的医疗挑战，并使我们的努力和倡议与领先的医疗技术趋势紧密结合。为了响应行业合作伙伴的需求，我们致力于为安全健康技术应用开发工具和解决方案，为他们的患者和客户提供有价值的产品和服务。谢里登的三个研究中心将联手参与这一研究计划：移动创新中心(CMI)、老年人研究中心(CER)和先进制造与设计技术中心(CAMDT)。我们将结合我们领先的医疗研究人员和从业者的信息和通信技术(ICT)、健康与健康以及制造专业知识，专注于两个研究主题：移动健康(MHealth)和健康与机器学习(ML)。这些主题反映了现有的、新的和即将到来的合作伙伴的需求，这些合作伙伴是谢里登研究网络的一部分，有可能对当地、省和加拿大的经济复苏产生重大影响。通过该计划，我们将利用先进的技术，包括智能和身临其境的软件平台和复杂的制造工具，作为mHealth产品和应用程序开发工作流程的一部分。我们将与我们的合作伙伴合作，并支持他们通过结构化测试、实施和可用性研究更好地识别、理解他们的目标用户并与其互动。多达70名学生将接受使用最先进的技术、工具和方法的培训。该计划将通过为加拿大劳动力提供HQP培训来支持创造就业机会。此外，我们将利用我们与谢里丹地区(奥克维尔、密西索加和布兰普顿)的当地和地区经济发展办事处的牢固关系。这项研究计划有望改善医疗保健行业从概念到交付的生产线应用。主要的经济效益包括：1)？为加拿大医疗保健系统节省成本；2)通过创造就业机会和增加其市场份额来支持我们的商业伙伴的增长；以及3)？为高级学生培训做出贡献。
