The Centre for Technology Adoption for Aging in the North at UNBC will use its connections across the region to introduce and validate innovative new technologies in healthcare aimed at advancing patient outcomes and equity in treatment.
Healthcare education, wound care education and screening tools have been historically developed for and from lighter skin tones, resulting in disproportionately poor outcomes for patients with darker skin tones. Digital, Canada’s Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies, announced a co-investment with Swift Medical, a global leader in digital wound care, to deploy three pioneering technology tools poised to transform patient care by offering better wound evaluations, reducing variability in treatment approaches and identifying risks more accurately.
“This research has the potential to significantly impact accessibility to treatment and patient outcomes in northern and rural communities,” Dr. Richard McAloney, the Centre’s director, said. “CTAAN is uniquely positioned to introduce these innovative new technologies to the region."
