In 2019 we launched Women’s Virtual, Canada’s first virtual hospital, as part of our mandate to address issues and find systemic solutions to improve population health, and in 2021 we became the home for Ontario’s first and only Centre for Digital Health Evaluation, which brings together a world class, multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, patients, health policy makers, and engineers from across Ontario, to provide a single access point for all digital health evaluation needs across the province.
