the data effect vancouver:
Our Health Data Opportunity
IN PERSON SUMMIT June 21, 2023 | 8:30AM - 1:30PM PT
Building the future of modern health care
British Columbia is a global leader in health discovery, life sciences and applied healthcare innovation.
The next step is to build on this success with important new data-sharing initiatives that can help build a world leading health cluster.
Using the potential of health data, BC researchers – and their partners in government and technology – are already improving patient care and outcomes at home, while driving exciting scientific breakthroughs to benefit the world.
Now we need to accelerate our data sharing, take what’s working in pilot projects and early testing and scale it to broad application across B.C. ‘s — and Canada’s — healthcare ecosystem.
Join us at The Data Effect in Vancouver this June to meet and collaborate with the people and companies building the future of modern health care.
