Centre for Global eHealth Innovation

They are a group of people who share the Centre's vision to improve health for all through information and communication technologies (ICTs). They view ICTs as enablers to the acceleration of the transformation of the health system worldwide. Supporting the University Health Network (UHN)'s vision of global impact and exemplary patient care, we work in a collaborative style that emphasizes creativity and centredness on people. The Centre is a joint effort of UHN and the University of Toronto and was built with funds from the Canadian government, through the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and the Ontario Innovation Trust. It is a place where human, physical and virtual resources come together to develop and evaluate eHealth innovations, using the expertise of leaders in the social sciences, technology and health fields. Using the Centre's state-of-the-art facilities and resources, we are able to engage in collaborative, transdisciplinary efforts, crossing institutional, political, cultural and geographic boundaries.
