Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

Collecting and tracking accurate and reliable information from heart failure patients and patients at risk of heart*failure is a continuous challenge, and a burden on our healthcare system as the process is typically resource*intensive. Currently, during a patient visit information is gathered and entered into an Electronic Medical Record*(EMR), which is sporadic and typically not analyzed. In many cases, this becomes a missed opportunity to provide*the patient with the patient-centered care and custom health required to improve their health outcomes.*Asclepios Cardiology Corporation, located in Ottawa Ontario, is a clinical healthcare practice encompassing*experienced, regulated Ontarian Cardiologists and Nurse Practitioner providing high quality, timely, cardiac*services to Ontario patients. Asclepios is proposing the development of Heart Failure, a mobile app that will*enable patients to record symptoms, input experiences and autonomously input other data using the technology*of heart functions with details such as weight, blood flow, heart rate and descriptions, etc. A mobile app, would*allow for continuous feeds in real live tracking, providing positive patient outcomes such as reduced hospital*admissions, hospitalizations predictions, improved quality of care and preventing the onsite of disease.*Asclepios is looking to collaborate with Lambton Colleges Information Technology & Communication Research*Centre to explore, research and develop the novel mobile app, Heart Failure. The research team, that will include*two research technicians and one research student, will work closely with the Asclepios team to develop the*mobile app using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
