Adapting new Digital Technology Solutions
to Deliver Smart Healthcare,
ubiquitous Mobile Connectivity,
enhanced patient-user experience
AND Community Wellness 

Following the success of last year’s inaugural Halton FUTURES Innovation Summit & Awards, this year’s 2nd annual Innovation Summit event will shed light on how smart, innovative  technology solutions are transforming the delivery of healthcare services from the hospital ER to the clinic, and addressing the key challenges in our healthcare system so as to enhance the patient experience and wellness outcomes. 

The future of socially driven innovation in healthcare is here, enabled by several advanced technologies such as mobile devices, cloud-based data analytics, internet-of-things (IoT), augmented and virtual reality imaging (AR/VR), 3D modeling and printing, and the emerging use of artificial intelligence (AI). These and other technologies are being leveraged at a remarkable pace to deliver smart, data-integrated solutions for enhanced patient-centered healthcare. Halton’s regional healthcare providers and physicians are seeking to deploy these solutions to patients and family members using mobile devices and real-time connectivity platforms such as telemedicine, with the goal of delivering exemplary patient care services in Halton Region, always. ​
