When we began our strategic planning efforts for the next five years of TRANSFORM HF, we knew the diverse perspectives and experiences of our network were integral. Over the last nine months, we tapped into our most valuable resource – you! – to ensure our next steps are reflective of the interests, needs, and priorities of our community. Here’s a look at our findings and next steps.
Join us on November 28th for an exciting morning of research presentations and networking with our multidisciplinary community.
TRANSFORM HF’s 2023 Seed Grant recipients Dr. Alex Mariakakis and Ken Christofferson want to make blood pressure estimation more accessible to all. Their research looks at leveraging everyday technology – like smartphones and wearables – for this purpose. In this case, it’s using the interior microphone inside the everyday earbud.
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.
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.
Catch local and international perspectives on the latest topics in digital health innovation, from sustainability to designing for equity.
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.
TRANSFORM Heart Failure and the Collaborative Centre for Climate, Health & Sustainable Care are proud to support a Cardiology Rounds featuring Dr. Gabby Samuel! Join us to learn what the digital transformation in cardiology means for the environment.
