The Canadian Cancer Society estimates that every year, 1 in 8 women in Canada is diagnosed with breast cancer, and 1 in 34 will die from the disease. Early detection is key to improving health outcomes for women.

A revolutionary blood screening test can effectively detect breast cancer, even at the early stages, using a suite of proprietary biomarkers and AI-generated software.

Easy, convenient, accurate, and soon to be widely available, this blood test is now offered as a service in Canada through a CPSA-accredited laboratory in Calgary and is expanding to more countries through clinical studies around the world.

Learn how AI is driving innovation in breast cancer screening and how a new digital health platform is providing a critical foundation to administer rigorous clinical trials, ensure patient safety, and gather important real-world evidence (RWE).

Many data environments for research and education in medicine have restrictive data access controls to ensure compliance with laws governing protected health information (PHI). The Temerty Centre for AI Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM) team identified the need for a robust data environment, with a centralized data repository for accessible health data that researchers across the province (and beyond) could contribute to and benefit from. The Health Data Nexus aims to be the leading open health data and analytics platform in Canada powered by Google Cloud.

In this session, you’ll learn how SickKids and Google Cloud developed an extensive governance framework to build a secure platform that delivers transparency, enabling researchers to access data easily, securely, and with the greatest compliance measures in mind.

While telemedicine and telehealth have existed in Canada and around the world for several decades, the COVID-19 pandemic has really pushed the industry to the forefront of peoples’ minds and discussions. The world has seen an unprecedented surge in demand, and frankly need, for services and it is expected such demand will remain and only continue to grow as time goes on.

Through this presentation, we will look to build an understanding as to the makeup of the industry and what the insurance landscape looks like today. We will then review the specific impact of COVID-19 on the digital health industry and the changing landscape, including claims considerations and specific telemedicine claims examples. The presentation will conclude with a deeper dive into the privacy concerns and considerations faced by the digital health industry.
