        What if we approached digital health tools not just as technologies, but as members of our care team? As Canada deepens its commitment to team-based primary care and integrated care delivery, we need digital solutions that do more than store information—they must contribute meaningfully to shared decision-making, communication, and continuity of care. This webinar invites participants to reimagine digital tools as collaborators in the care process: helping clinicians coordinate more effectively, supporting patients and caregivers as empowered team members, and bridging gaps across organizational and sectoral boundaries. Drawing on insights from implementation science and over a decade of research in digital health design, implementation, and evaluation, this webinar explores how we can position digital tools as enablers of trust, shared accountability, and relational care. Participants will learn how to move beyond adoption checklists toward more thoughtful, context-sensitive implementation strategies that treat digital tools as part of the care team—supporting both providers and patients. Through practical examples and frameworks, we’ll explore how to embed these tools into the everyday work of care in ways that are equitable, sustainable, and system-aligned.

        Learning Objectives:

        1. Reframe digital health tools as active partners in team-based and person-centred care.
        2. Apply implementation science principles to guide the co-design, adoption, and scaling of digital innovations across diverse care contexts.
        3. Explore system-level enablers that foster meaningful integration of digital tools across the continuum of care.

                The Challenge:

                The healthcare sector faces significant challenges:

                • Growing demand for healthcare professionals, with a projected 16% increase from 2020 to 2030.

                • Canada/The United States are facing a potential shortage of 500,000 physicians and nurses.

                • Clinicians spend on average 40% of their time on administrative tasks, contributing to burnout.

                The Solution: Agentic AI Agents

                AI Agents can be used as intelligent assistants designed to automate administrative tasks, streamline workflows, and improve clinician efficiency in healthcare settings.

                Case Study Highlights (sample client results):

                • Patient Scheduling: AI-driven appointment workflows achieve high automation rates (up to 96%) and significant time savings (e.g., 1,740 hours saved annually);

                • Oncology Program: AI assistants streamline processes, achieving automation rates of up to 98.3% and saving up to 2,145 hours annually;

                • Pulmonology: AI agents automate tasks with automation rates of 99% and time savings of 2,300 hours annually;

                • Surgery Clinical Visit Prep: AI agents save 1,488 hours annually and provide extra capacity.

                The presentation would include seeing the AI Agents in action.

                  This project is about using point of care ultrasound with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) to help early screen arthritis (inflammation of the joints) in children. Arthritis is the most common chronic disease in Canada placing a tremendous burden to the health system. From the 6 million Canadians living with arthritis, around 700.000 are in the province of Alberta. It affects 1 in every 1,000 Canadian children. In this disease, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is almost always the first joint involved. This joint connects the lower jaw to the skull, allowing the mouth to open and close. TMJ arthritis in children can cause devastating facial deformities compromising daily activities such as speaking and chewing. Since there is no cure for the damage caused, it is important to detect and treat this condition early to prevent lifelong jaw problems.

                  Accessible, cheaper and safer imaging is needed to diagnose and treat TMJ arthritis early to avoid the costs, delays and need for sedation related to MRI images, which is used to diagnose this condition. Ultrasound is safer, more comfortable for children and cheaper for the health system. Not to mention, its portability that allows its use in diverse health care facilities, including rural communities and remote areas. However, the challenge is that US requires significant training and expertise to interpret the images. Therefore, we want to develop an artificial intelligence-assisted image analysis tool to be integrated to a portable handheld ultrasound to help screening TMJ arthritis in children. For this, we will scan the joint of children diagnosed with arthritis in the main children`s hospital of Alberta. These images will then be used to develop the AI assisted image-analysis tool. This innovative tool will overcome existing barriers and improve health by advancing digital health.

                    Fabiana Almeida is a clinical researcher and Assistant Professor at the School of Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. She completed her dental degree and specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in Brazil, alongside an MSc and PhD in Health Sciences—Oral Diagnosis. 

                    Her research focuses on imaging and new technologies—particularly Ultrasound and Artificial Intelligence—in the diagnosis process in Dentistry. She started working with Ultrasound in 2017 during her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alberta, where she investigated the potential of Ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in Dentistry—particularly for assessing jaw joint disorders and the tissues supporting teeth. Dr Almeida was part of a multidisciplinary team that developed an innovative intraoral ultrasound device for chairside diagnostic use in Dentistry. In addition, she has led the development of an AI model to assist in identifying jaw joint disorders in MRI scans. Her work aims to improve the diagnosis process through the integration of emerging technologies in imaging.
