The Data Effect: Vancouver - Our Health Data Opportunity

British Columbia is a global leader in health discovery and applied healthcare innovation.

The next step is to build on this success with important new data-sharing initiatives. 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.

Themes of discussion will include:

• Data platforms: how to drive timely access to high-quality health data that fuels innovation and improved services

• Data governance models: so that AI/ML can be applied to accelerate research, and that data can be shared among research and clinical use cases

• The data + AI opportunity: in genomics and other fast emerging sectors

• Indigenous approaches to data sovereignty and data sharing: and their importance and application to our health system

• Data partnerships: across major research institutions and government

• Proactive Preparedness: Strategies to help prepare for a quick response to future pandemics
