HPI-Kolloquium: "Digital Health: What can we learn from Canada?"

Abstract
Precision health means the right treatment, for the right person, at the right time, in the right place. It requires a learning health system framework, one that digitally integrates and conceptually aligns medicine with science, economic viablitity, distinct social and physical enviroments, cultural diversity and patient preferences to deliver data-driven healthcare that empowers patients to improve and maintain their health and wellbeing. Electronic access to population-wide health and other data of all 4.51 million citizens, a diverse team od basic, social, clinical and computing scientists, support from patient ad-vocates and citizen groups embedded within a national strategy create a unique environ-ment to realize the opportunities and overcome the challenges of precision health.
