The intersection of health care and technology is transforming our world, with engineers playing a crucial role in this evolution. The University of Waterloo’s Global Futures framework highlights the significance of health tech in shaping our future. As health care systems face challenges such as rising costs and limited access, engineers are poised to make a meaningful impact.
A live event in Toronto will bring together a panel of engineers, researchers, and health tech entrepreneurs to explore how engineering can advance health care through technology. The discussion will focus on innovative research, strategies for retaining health tech startups in Canada, and proposing actionable solutions to foster a thriving health tech ecosystem.

The conversation will delve into how engineers can work towards optimal health care solutions, addressing challenges and opportunities in the field. By leveraging technology, engineers can help redesign health care systems, innovate solutions, and develop new problem-solving approaches that benefit society as a whole.
