UOIT’s ongoing research collaboration with IBM and The Hospital for Sick Children was profiled in an August 12 feature story in the Globe and Mail entitled Technology detects infections before doctors know preemies are sick.

UOIT’s lead researcher Dr. Carolyn McGregor, Canada Research Chair in Health Informatics, is quoted in the story about the Artemis Project, whose goal is to develop new technology to track the medical data of premature babies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and find new ways to alert doctors about a potential life-threatening infection before the infant even shows signs of illness.

Edward Pugh, clinical program fellow in neonatology at the The Hospital for Sick Children (who will begin his Master of Health Science degree studies at UOIT this fall under Dr. McGregor’s supervision).
