This fall, the University of Waterloo’s Health Initiatives team launched the Graham Seed Fund (GSF) and invited researchers to submit their proposals for innovative health-care solutions. The GSF strengthens the University’s health system partnerships by providing resources for collaborating directly with a full range of health providers and clinicians. Ten research proposals have been selected from the 34 that were received.

Abstract

The basic principles and experimental set-ups for Edge Illumination and Beam Tracking X-ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) are introduced, along with examples on key applications where phase-based imaging complements and advances the more conventional attenuation-based X-ray imaging. X-ray dark-field techniques are also discussed with an emphasis on the most recent developments on tomography and directional imaging.

Innovation at the Ottawa Hospital with Dr. Alan Forster

Dr. Forster will describe the motivations for change in healthcare and describe how the Ottawa Hospital is supporting transformation using three related concepts: learning systems, data democratization, and open innovation. At the foundation of these concepts is a need for strong leadership and trust to support the meaningful collaborations required to achieve meaningful impacts.

Stanford University recently published a comprehensive list identifying the top 2% of scientists worldwide. The list provides a ranking of 100,000 top scientists using citation metrics to determine the relevance and importance of a given research topic.
