HIT Mission Statement

For decades, Canadian healthcare professionals have operated within a challenging, rapidly changing, and fragmented healthcare system. Today, this environment is even more complex as sweeping healthcare reform and market forces transform the way healthcare is delivered and managed. This profound shift is multi directional involving the structure, policies, logistics, ethics and the culture of work. New alliances and unlikely partnerships are beginning to emerge. Belief systems, values, and attitudes are shifting. There are various thought leaders who believe that we going to see a major change in healthcare because of the ongoing AI revolution, the integration of natural intelligence and the need for convergence sciences. The main focus of the HIT is to promote communication and cooperation among core professionals in Biology, Nursing, Medicine, Psychology, Health Sciences, Bioinformatics, Cognitive Sciences, Language and Technology experts along with Computer Science towards enhancing the healthcare system.
