@healthcareandy Agreed! Blood self-collection is most efficient/cost effective (no phlebotomist), but the current devices need to be validated across a broad spectrum of lab-based tests (e.g. drawing enough blood) and integrated into centralized lab processing (robotics at scale).

Wow - new @McKinsey data shows telehealth is still up 38X compared to pre-pandemic usage, showing a sustained boost to virtual care and strong momentum for #DigitalHealth. https://t.co/7Atc9m2mED

31 years ago today, a gunman shot and killed 14 female engineering students in Montreal, separating them out in the classroom, declaring that he was fighting feminism. Today, I remember their lives and amplify the urgent call to eliminate misogyny and violence against women.

So much to learn & do in being a better ally in dismantling systemic racism, thanks to #ReadingforRace for an insightful discussion: "We will not know what needs to be done if we are not willing to talk about it." (Ijeoma Oluo) @Jen_Newsted @KayWillLive @atnguyen

Love that my Dad sent this to me!

"My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter. My mother got to see Mr. Yoho's disrespect on the floor of this House towards me on television. I am here because I have to show my parents that...that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men."

Great meeting with UK’s @BabylonHealth. We discussed their expansion into Ontario and their success in providing consultations w/ doctors and health care professionals. Ontario has the 2nd largest IT cluster in North America, and our exceptional talent keeps attracting companies!

Game changing approach to fully leveraging existing medical datasets using AI, by the Babylon Health team!

Our scientists have used artificial intelligence to spot when #correlation really does mean #causation across different medical datasets. The peer-reviewed research means yesterday’s #data could solve today’s medical mysteries

A call to action for increasing access to primary care in Canada.

Home hospital model reduces costs by 38%, improves care, study says - includes nurse or physician visits, intravenous medication, remote monitoring, video communication, and point of care testing https://t.co/H9C5GYShX2 via @Harvard

[Seniors Strategy Now @NSS_Now]

Have your say: @RyersonNIA & @DrSamirSinha is developing an updated #NationalSeniorsStrategy and wants to hear YOUR thoughts. Provide direction to the federal government on how to support older Canadians, their unpaid caregivers and care providers. https://t.co/kQIbWoJYDf #elxn43

[Jen Flexman @JenniferFlexman]

10% of our population of older adults account for 30% of all health care spending in Ontario ($20B). And yet our current environment and health infrastructure wasn’t designed for aging in a way most people want: home and community care. @OntarioCofC #aging

Canada needs to use the fact that we are a “get along” nation to bring our leaders together, share data and compete on the global AI stage - Ed Clark #ElevateTechFest #ArtificialIntelligence

Deep Genomics announces first AI discovered therapeutic candidate - finds targets 500x faster than a team of 100 molecular biologists. A new era begins! #ElevateTechFest #ArtificialIntelligence #Genomics

[Jen Flexman @JenniferFlexman]

I often think about this in the context of health care. What won’t change with all the technology in the world is the need for human compassion and empathy, and trust.

When will we consider it unethical to NOT use AI in medicine?

Artificial intelligence (#AI) appears to detect diseases from medical imaging with similar levels of accuracy as health-care professionals: finding from the first systematic review and meta-analysis @LancetDigitalH https://t.co/yFDgGIaTES

Speed trumps being right - speed is learning. Lessons from #ElevateTechFest Day 1!
