The School of Public Health invites you to a Douglas R. Wilson Lecture: Healing the System: How our Digital Health Divide is Making us Sick.

Canada’s fragmented digital health systems are creating challenges across all levels of care. In this talk, Dr. Ewan Affleck will explore how health data is designed and used in Canada and how it is weakening both individual and population health, limiting access to care, and straining the sustainability of the health system. He will discuss the costs of this fragmentation, current policies and legislation, and how data and policy could be better reimagined.
