In-person Summit | Vancouver, BC
June 25, 2024, 7:30 a.m -2:00 p.m PT
BC and Canada can leverage new investments in health data platforms, hospitals and research to build the world’s leading health science ecosystem.
But it all starts with quality data.
On June 25, The Data Effect returns to Vancouver to explore how new approaches in health data stewardship and AI – in combination with innovations in health campus design and life science research – can drive better health services in Canada and build our global profile.
This is a unique opportunity to explore the convergence of physical space and AI-led digital innovation that’s the future of health. Join an audience of leading health and life-science executives, researchers and technology leaders from Vancouver and across Canada.
Each event ticket includes:
a light breakfast with coffee, admission to all keynote and panel discussions, networking opportunities, a live Q&A session, and lunch.

Opening Presentation
Presentation:
Panel: Data Integration and Data Access
Several projects are underway in BC to build and link provincial data sets for the benefit of researchers and health science. What principles of data stewardship should guide their design, so that we can improve digital services in the healthcare system?
Presentation: Solving the Trust Equation: Governing Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
With increasing cyber-attacks and AI-related issues, concerns about data management are at an all-time high. Our healthcare system is in crisis, and we need a new data governance model like data trusts to address these challenges and foster AI development.
Break #1
Panel: Data Interoperability – A Collective Impact Call to Action
An emerging national dialogue is building momentum around better tools for data interoperability. This panel will explore the national discussion, and how to advance interoperability in BC.
Presentation:
Panel: Drivers of Health Innovation
Vancouver’s new health campus is just part of a multi-pronged approach to accelerating health innovation, much of it built on health data and integration. This session will address how to accelerate health innovation, deliver improved health services, and position Vancouver’s global health science leadership.
Lunch
Presentation:
