At TRANSFORM HF, we require the help of people with lived experience (PWLE) to plan the best research projects, test new technologies, and explore how heart failure care can and should be improved. However, it isn’t always a straightforward process for researchers looking to involve patient partners in their research projects or for PWLE who would like to be engaged. We reflect on how our Foundations course is helping to bridge the gap.
TRANSFORM HF was launched in 2020 in response to the grand challenge of inequity in heart failure care. With our 5th anniversary on the horizon, we sat down with Dr. Craig Simmons, TRANSFORM HF Co-Lead, to discuss the power of collaboration, how the engineering landscape has evolved, and what he hopes to see in the future of heart failure care.
Designed to spark new partnerships, our Collaboration Starter Grants provide crucial early-stage funding for research and project proposals. Say hello to our 2025 Recipients who are working to advance equitable heart failure care.
TRANSFORM HF made quite an impact in 2024, from funded research to new programs and models of care. Take a look at our year-in-review.
On November 8, 2024, 80+ clinicians, researchers, trainees, people with lived experience, and industry partners joined us for our 7th bi-annual meeting. In addition to fostering potential collaborations, this event clarified some best practices for digital health innovation.
Collaboration Starter Grant recipients Kimberly Crasta and Ellis Gao want to improve clinic workflow efficiency in outpatient settings. Read how they’re working with a team of collaborators to make it happen.
Situated within Canada’s largest hospital network, the Digital Hub facilitates access to cutting edge resources, world class expertise, and diverse patient populations. We understand the unique needs of patients, clinicians, and the healthcare system – and what’s required for your innovation to succeed.
Collaboration Starter Grant recipient Dr. Ibukun Abejirinde wants to ensure our approach to remote patient monitoring is person-centred and equity promoting.
TRANSFORM HF is pleased to announce the recipients of their 2024 Trainee Awards! Learn more about the heart failure trainees and their projects.
