Technology for health care service and public input
UM Café Scientifique launches new season on February 22
Understanding patient experiences, perspectives, and outcomes is critical to improving healthcare services and how it is delivered. Today, new developments in technology have provided solutions that are becoming increasingly common since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are many examples of technology being used to collect input from individuals to inform more person-centered and accessible healthcare. Patients are also coming to rely on telehealth, computers, and telephones to interact with their healthcare providers.

About UM Café Scientifique
The UM Café Scientifique series brings together experts with non-researchers (you, me, neighbors and friends) in a relaxed atmosphere to learn about their research and the questions it raises. Cafés are scheduled throughout the academic year, on a weeknight, and encompass topics that reflect the breadth of research underway at the UM. They are hosted and organized by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International).
Research at the University of Manitoba is partially supported by funding from the Government of Canada Research Support Fund.
