Advances in new media are rapidly moving the healthcare sector towards a digital revolution. Games and interactive media are helping to promote health and fitness, rehabilitate patients, and reduce social isolation. Virtual reality and visualization are training doctors and informing patients. Online networks are providing cost-effective prevention and care at a distance. Research is making a difference in the wellbeing of Canadians and helping to transform established practices in healthcare.
