TORONTO, Aug. 1, 2019 /CNW/ – Next week, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) will release findings on the potential impact of digital advancements in health care.

WHEN:

Thursday, August 8 via Canada Newswire (CNW)

WHAT: 

Future of Connected Health Care: Reporting on Canadians’ Perspective on the Health Care System
  • Results from a CMA-commissioned poll (June 2019) revealing Canadians are now ready for an Amazon-like online experience when it comes to the delivery of health care
  • The surprising number of Canadians who are ready to deal with Siri or Alexa for a virtual appointment – rather than showing up and being diagnosed at the doctors’ office 
  • How Canadians believe technology will create a system that gives them more control and create greater efficiencies – yet the system itself is far from ready 
  • The CMA will be hosting a two-day Health Summit focused on innovation and technology for a future of better health connections in Toronto (August 12-13)
