Panel Organized by: The Royal Society of Canada / University of Ottawa

The pandemic revealed significant problems in Canada; critically, one is health data.  We are in the midst of an explosion in the generation and application of digital data. These data can support real-time clinical decision-making, as well as the development and evaluation of health technologies and health system interventions. This panel will present examples and discuss the potentials for health data and learning health systems to improve health and address health inequities. We will identify barriers, which are not primarily technological, and the major changes needed, especially in governance, approaches to privacy, public and stakeholder engagement, and federal-provincial relations.
