AMS Healthcare Announces New Podcast Series

We are announcing the launch of our new podcast series Good Tech, Compassionate Healthcare, that will explore the convergence of technology and compassion in healthcare today.

We host conversations between leading researchers, scientists, and healthcare providers as they confront the challenges in our healthcare system, especially in the face of the pandemic.

Join us as they discuss the opportunities for digital health to innovate all aspects of our healthcare system. They will share their hope for technology, and they will share some cautionary tales from the field. We hope to foster open and frank discussions about how they think we should integrate technology into the health-care system in a way that enhances – and does not diminish – compassionate care.  Because ultimately, we want these discussions to help us all advance the cause of better healthcare for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers everywhere.

The first four episodes were dropped on June 8^th and include:

Episode 1: In our inaugural conversation, Morag Paton, a researcher in higher education at the University of Toronto, and physician and medical educator Ayelet Kuper discuss “Compassion, Equity and Moral Courage, Reflecting on Lessons from COVID”.

Episode 2: In this conversation, Nursing Professor Claire Mallette, Medical Educator Tina Martimianakis, psychiatric resident Erene Stergiopoulos and nursing student Ola Thomas Obewu reflect on the challenges of “Teaching Compassion in this Age of Digital Learning”.

Episode 3: Focusing on how “Digital Interventions in Mental Health During COVID” impacted the way we deliver compassionate care, this episode features David Wiljer from the University Health Network, as well as Gillian Strudwick and Allison Crawford from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

Episode 4: “Exploring Technologies and their Impact on Compassionate Digital Care” features a conversation between Laura Desveaux, a behavioural scientist at Trillium Health Partners, and physician and scientist Amol Verma, from St Michael’s Hospital.
