Overview: Children with congenital heart disease face significant risks during hospital stays, with unplanned ICU readmissions occurring in 4-20% of pediatric cardiac patients, rates are substantially higher than the general pediatric population. These deterioration events lead to increased length of […]
Overview: Adolescents with congenital heart disease are at risk of decline in cardiac function that can follow unpredictable time courses, from sudden deterioration to gradual progression. Current clinical scheduling relies on fixed intervals with minimal individualization, leading to suboptimal timing […]
Overview: Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, with potentially devastating cardiac consequences including coronary artery aneurysms. The disease presents significant clinical challenges: delayed diagnosis is common due to non-specific early symptoms, treatment response is […]
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people face systemic discrimination that increases their risk of mental illness and psychiatric hospitalization. Our previous research using Ontario health administrative data (at ICES) found that TGD patients were less likely to follow up with […]
Advanced diabetes technologies like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring devices are the most effective tools to help people manage life with type 1 diabetes. These technologies prevent life-limiting and expensive complications and should be readily accessible to all who […]
This collaboration with the Ontario Ministry of Health (MOH) relies on using real-time administrative data and cutting-edge quasi-experimental and econometric/causal inference methods to identify the effects of health policies on health outcomes for Ontarians, and to suggest alternative policies to […]
This research leverages structured and free-text data in electronic health records to develop natural language processing and machine learning models that will help develop outcome prediction models and tailored interventions in our health system.
GEMINI is an initiative that leverages patient data across hospitals to study how care is delivered, ultimately improving practices. GEMINI uses tools like artificial intelligence to help doctors, researchers, and leaders make better decisions and improve patient outcomes.
Imagine a university student experiencing severe anxiety before an exam. They fail—not for lack of effort, but because help took too long to arrive. Now imagine that same student accessing Care4Mind, completing a self-guided intake, and being matched within 24 […]
The Centre for Digital Therapeutics is a research and development group focused on building novel digital therapeutics for chronic disease management to support patients in living well beyond chronic illness.
