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.
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.

TRANSFORM HF researcher Dr. Sahr Wali (Scientific Associate, Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research) has received a CIHR Health System Impact Embedded Early Career (ECR) Researcher Award. Sahr is one of only 12 awardees across Canada.
Sahr will be working in partnership with rural and urban community organizations to develop a care pathway that provides community-first cardiac care services.
Megh Rathod is a PhD Candidate in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. He’s passionate about advancing medicine and quality of care through device innovation, and is currently working on developing a skin-tone invariant pulse oximeter in the form of a wearable.
Megh wanted to explore career paths and test his perceptions of entrepreneurship, so he applied to ECHO Discovery – a foundational education program that explores ideation, research translation, and entrepreneurship for cardiovascular health. Here’s what Megh had to say about his experience…
