This year’s theme, Powering Possibility: Data as the Catalyst of Tomorrow’s Health System, explores how data is transforming the way we understand, design, and deliver care. From advancing AI governance and applying cutting-edge tools for analysis and research, to supporting aging in place and delivering services where people live, the forum will highlight how innovation is turning insight into action.
The day will bring together researchers, analysts, policy partners, and collaborators from across the ICES Ontario community to share new perspectives, showcase impactful work, and spark conversations about what’s next in population health research. Attendees will gain insights into emerging approaches, real-world applications, and the collaborative efforts driving meaningful change across the health system.
More program details will be announced soon, so stay tuned to this space! Below is a draft outline of the day’s schedule:
