Webinar

Maintaining human connections in the virtual world

June 16, 2021


Daniel Martz enewsDr Dominik Nowak enewsZayna Khayat enewsTORONTO – Canada is going through a virtual healthcare revolution. We have recently seen a significant rise in the number of people using digital services for a wide range of health and wellness needs. And while these technologies fill some of the gaps in Canada’s health system, health authorities and leaders need to take a closer look at the efficacy of virtual care and address some important questions.

Importantly, how do we ensure that virtual encounters provide the same level of care as in-person interactions? Will this technology eliminate the benefits and comforts of the traditional in-person appointment?

There is much to be considered as virtual care becomes ubiquitous in the coming years, and as a leader in this space, TELUS Health is facilitating these critical discussions.

On June 30, digital health expert Daniel Martz (pictured on left); family physician Dr. Dominik Nowak (pictured in centre); and Dr. Zayna Khaya (pictured on right), a Future Strategist with SE Health, will discuss the evolution of virtual care technology and the importance of maintaining the human element in our increasingly digitized world. Through personal and professional experience, they will address the latest advancements of digital health technology. And they will discuss the need for tools that promote human interaction, empathy, and compassion when it comes to all patient interactions.

Join this webinar to learn:

  • How to provide the most effective virtual health supports;
  • Why human connection is, and will continue to be, critical in virtual care;
  • How do we ensure that virtual care maintains the human element; and
  • Virtual tools that integrate human connection every step of the healthcare journey to help Canadians manage their health and wellness needs.
