Accelerating Innovations in Advanced Health Technologies

这项拟议的研究计划解决了目前加拿大医疗保健的挑战，并密切配合我们的努力和举措与领先的健康技术趋势。为了满足行业合作伙伴的需求，我们的目标是开发安全健康技术应用的工具和解决方案，为患者和客户提供有价值的产品和服务。谢里丹的三个研究中心将加入这项研究计划;移动的创新中心（CMI），老年人研究中心（CER）和先进制造和设计技术中心（CAMDT）。我们将结合联合收割机信息和通信技术（ICT），健康和保健，以及我们领先的医疗保健研究人员和从业者的制造专业知识，专注于两个研究主题：移动的健康（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谁是谢里丹的研究网络的一部分，并有可能显着影响地方，省和加拿大的经济复苏的需求。 通过该计划，我们将利用先进的技术，包括智能和沉浸式软件平台和复杂的制造工具，作为移动健康产品和应用程序开发工作流程的一部分。我们将与合作伙伴合作，通过结构化测试、实施和可用性研究，支持他们更好地识别、理解目标用户并与之互动。 多达70名学生将接受使用最先进技术、工具和方法的培训。该计划将通过对加拿大劳动力的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）地方和区域经济发展办公室的牢固关系。 该研究计划预计将改善医疗保健行业从概念到交付的生产管道应用。主要经济效益包括：1）？节省加拿大医疗保健系统的成本; 2）通过创造就业机会和增加市场份额来支持我们的商业伙伴的增长; 3）？为先进的学生培训做出贡献。

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.
