UbiLab - Ubiquitous Health Technology Lab

In July 2023, we had the immense pleasure of hosting a visiting research group of faculty, research associates, and post-graduate students from Glasgow, Scotland. Also in attendance were faculty from the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University, York University, University of Toronto, and the University of Waterloo.

For the past few years, the UbiLab - University of Waterloo led by Plinio Morita, PhD MSc PEng has been developing a strong partnership with Roma Maguire, Mark Dunlop, and Marilyn McGee-Lennon from the University of Strathclyde. Since hosting our Symposium on Digital Health in 2021 at the University of Strathclyde, this partnership has evolved into a collaboration on synthetic data, data fusion, AI in Public Health and Healthcare, and novel sensors. This visit facilitated some in-depth discussions about the future of our collaboration, and now...three cities, four days, and at least five project concepts later, we are excited to see what that future holds!

Our thanks go to the School of Public Health Sciences (University of Waterloo Faculty of Health), the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA), Velocity, Communitech, and the Centre for Digital Therapeutics for opening up their venues to host our networking events.
