Topol is a world-renowned cardiologist, geneticist and author of the book The Patient Will See You Now. Goldman is a highly-regarded Toronto emergency room physician, author of the book The Secret Language of Doctors and host of the CBC Radio program "White Coat, Black Art". 

Explore the landscape of digital health care in Canada with government and industry leaders, learn about the research undertaken by SEAMO's Clinician Scientists and discover the cutting-edge work done by SEAMO Innovation Fund winners from the past three years. 

The 2018 SEAMO Research & Innovation Showcase features keynote presentations, panel discussions, Clinician Scientist engagement, a Health Care Innovation Hackathon facilitated by Joule Inc., research poster displays, networking opportunities and a wine and cheese reception. 

This full-day event is structured for participation in one of two interest streams: 

OPTION 1: Clinician Scientist Engagement

OPTION 2: Health Care Innovation Hackathon

OPTION 1: Clinician Scientist Engagement

Those choosing the Clinician Scientist Engagement stream will participate in two 85-minute sessions to learn about ground-breaking research conducted by SEAMO's Clinician Scientists and discover new opportunities for collaboration. 

Interactive morning and afternoon sessions are grouped by theme, with each researcher delivering a 10-minute presentation about their investigations, followed by a question and answer period. 

If you would like to participate in the Clinician Scientist Engagement stream of the 2018 SEAMO Research & Innovation Showcase, please select ticket Option 1 during registration. 

OPTION 2: Health Care Innovation Hackathon, facilitated by Joule Inc., a Canadian Medical Association company

Channel your creative energy and innovative spirit into improving health care in Ontario. Working with a team of like-minded physicians, health care professionals and entrepreneurs, you will have three hours to come up with a tangible solution to a front-line problem. 

A panel of esteemed judges will select the winning team, which will present its idea to foremost experts in the field of digital health care, during the closing ceremonies of the 2018 SEAMO Research & Innovation Showcase. 

Teams will be assigned the day of the event and questions focused on digital health innovation will be provided at the outset of the hackathon. Each team will be asked to conceptualize and develop a solution to one of two possible questions. 

Please note, any intellectual property (i.e. ideas, products, software, etc.) generated during the hackathon remain the property of individual participants. Event organizers and sponsors expressly disavow any claim to ownership of, and any compulsory license to, inventions made in the course of the hackathon.
