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.
Set in the communities of Moosonee and Moose Factory, “Strengthening our Hearts through a River of Possibilities,” highlights key themes from community members’ stories about managing their heart health.
Data scientist Chris McIntosh and biomedical engineer Dan Franklin first met at a TRANSFORM HF networking event. Now they’re working together with their trainees Will Gao and Matthew Kenyon Lee to develop advanced wearable devices that use AI to produce cleaner data for more reliable insights into heart function.
Our Collaboration Starter Grants support members of our community working together by funding the initial activities of collaborative projects that align with the TRANSFORM HF mission. We are pleased to announce the recipients of our 2024 Collaboration Starter Grants.
TRANSFORM HF is pleased to present a 2024 Seed Grant to Drs. Dainty, Grunau, and their team for their proposal to build the first ever sensor to detect cardiac arrest – the ultimate heart failure.
Whether a cardiac arrest is witnessed or not is a key determinant of outcomes. Unfortunately, in over three-quarters of out-of-hospital events, no one is there to witness the event. In many cases, minutes, hours, or days pass before the emergency is recognized.
According to Drs. Katie Dainty and Brian Grunau, immediate recognition of sudden cardiac arrests could triple survival rates, saving more than 3,400 lives per year. They believe that this can be done through remote monitoring.
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.
