This symposium, to be held virtually at Université Laval on May 10, 2022, is open to contributions from individuals in all health fields with an interest in digital health.
Digital innovations are increasingly recognized as essential elements in meeting the multiple challenges health systems face in improving access, continuity, quality, and cost of care, and in making health systems more efficient and equitable. COVID-19 has been a catalyst for digital health and the many uses to which it may be put to maintain and strengthen the health ecosystem.
This symposium offers an opportunity to bring together experts with complementary knowledge about the different aspects of applying digital health innovations. Our cross-cutting analytical vision of digital health innovations presents an opportunity to foster exchange and the sharing of experiences, knowledge, and research in this field, as well as to identify lessons learned and discuss opportunities for optimizing the digital health transformation in a friendly and dynamic atmosphere.
The following individuals are invited to submit a proposal for a paper on technological innovations in different health fields (e.g., dentistry, rehabilitation, medicine, nursing, etc.):
- Researchers (national or international)
- Students or post-doctoral fellows
- Clinicians/Managers
- Partners (community, industry, municipal, etc.)
