- 3 UCalgary projects receive $20.3M in provincial innovation grants | Health Everywhere
We envision a vibrant eHealth and mHealth ecosystem, accelerating innovation, growth, and transforming healthcare through collaboration and partnerships. THEME 1: BRIDGING COMMUNITY AND ACUTE CARE Date Advancing eHealth Innovation to Enable Intelligent Patient Monitoring January 2024 Prevention of pressure injuries (PIs) is a priority for healthcare systems worldwide. Also referred to as pressure ulcers or bedsores, this condition is a skin and soft tissue injury that forms because of constant or prolonged pressure on the skin, typically occurring at bony areas on the body. Most prevalent in healthcare settings where the patient is unable to move frequently enough to relieve the pressure, PIs are painful for the patient and can lead to a deterioration in health, increased hospital stays, and even death. To address this issue, W21C partnered with XSENSOR Technology Corporation, a Calgary-based company that designs, manufactures, and sells advanced pressure-imaging systems for use in medical environments worldwide. With support from W21C’s research team, this led to the creation of a novel pressure sensing device - the ForeSite PT™ System. In late 2007, an opportunity arose for W21C to partner with XSENSOR in the development and testing of a health innovation. The main objectives of this initiative were to better understand the potential of innovative technology to support healthcare providers in caring for patients at risk of pressure injuries. W21C’s initial role was to collect and analyze focus group feedback from physicians, nurses, nursing assistants, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and pressure mapping experts. Over time this progressed to usability testing of a protype device in a simulated Intensive Care Unit. Each phase of W21C research was followed by a design cycle at XSENSOR that consisted of research on every aspect of the system, including overall architecture, transducer design, sensing electronics, software, mechanical design, and packaging. Through funding provided by Alberta Innovates ‘Accelerating Innovations into Care’ program, XSENSOR once again, approached W21C in 2023 to support the evaluation and impact on workflow of an updated system (referred to as ForeSite IS) in acute and long-term care, and to evaluate the device’s ability to predict skin breakdown of patients at elevated risk of PIs. This study is currently under way at Foothills Medical Centre and throughout several long-term care sites in the Calgary area.

- Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) Evaluation | Health Everywhere
Theme 1: Bridging Community and Acute Care Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) Evaluation A structured, team-based approach to discharge planning and post-discharge support. Lead: Michelle Grinman (Co-Principal Investigator) Project Lead: Karen Okrainec Collaborator: Sunita Chacko INNOVATION STAGE Implementation Integration Health Innovation Focus Chronic Disease; Health Promotion & Prevention Population and Setting Complex, frailty, vulnerable and/or elderly adults with or without co-morbidities Technology and Intervention — BENEFITS For Users Enhanced Support and Follow-Up: Patients receive ongoing guidance and assistance, improving their capacity to manage chronic conditions from home. Improved Continuity of Care: Structured follow-up and tailored care plans reduce disruptions in care, promoting better management of health at home and reducing readmissions. Greater Patient Autonomy: Patients are empowered to self-manage their conditions with accessible, ongoing support, enhancing their health outcomes and quality of life. For The System Reduced Length of Hospitalization, Readmission and ED visit Rates: By providing complex care planning upon admission and proactive post-discharge support, the ICP model aims to lower length of patient hospitalization, hospital readmissions and unnecessary ED visits, reducing associated healthcare costs. Improved Resource Efficiency: Effective discharge planning and case management alleviate strain on hospital resources, making care delivery more efficient. Long-Term Cost Savings: This proactive approach to managing complex cases reduces long-term expenses and supports the sustainability of healthcare services. Long-Term Cost Savings: This proactive approach to managing complex cases reduces long-term expenses and supports the sustainability of healthcare services. Project Theme Information Current State In Canada, adults with multiple chronic conditions frequently use healthcare services and experience poor health outcomes, with hospital admissions consuming 30% of healthcare spending. Readmissions are both common and costly, especially for vulnerable populations, underscoring the need for new models that promote continuity of care and reduce reliance on hospitals. Patients often experience fragmented care, moving between specialists and wards without consistent support, leading to repeated admissions and inadequate post-discharge care. Additionally, adults with multiple chronic conditions account for 30% of healthcare spending, with frequent, costly readmissions underscoring the need for models that reduce hospital reliance and promote better care continuity. The Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) aims to improve case management and continuity of care for complex inpatients in the Calgary Zone, thereby reducing length of hospitalization, risk of mortality and morbidity post-discharge, and ED visits and readmissions to hospital. Other Known Use Cases Partnerships with Xsensor and Baxter are undergoing to evaluate the impact of eHealth tools on patient outcomes. The specific focus will be on two products: 1) Xsensor’s ForeSite® Intelligent Surface, an artificial intelligence-powered continuous skin monitoring... What is the Innovation The Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) model is a structured, team-based approach to discharge planning and post-discharge support. It focuses on high-risk patients, providing continuity of care, intensive case management, and tailored support to help patients transition from hospital to home while managing their chronic conditions more effectively. Patients are anchored to an Integrated Care Lead (ICL) who quarterbacks complex discharge planning, centralizes communication between hospital and home, plans and connects patients to relevant home and community supports, and follows patients for up to 90 days post-discharge. With the acute post-discharge period retaining the highest risk of return to the ED, readmission, or rapid decompensation, the ICL regularly phones the patient for the first 1-2 weeks to rapidly medically pivot if necessary. Additionally, a 24/7 line in collaboration with HealthLink is available for patients for up to 90 days. How it Works The ICP model assigns a dedicated team member to support patients from their hospitalization through to post-discharge. This includes comprehensive discharge planning and community-based support for up to 90 days post-discharge, along with 24/7 phone support and personalized care plans documented in the electronic medical record (EMR) to ensure continuity. Other Known Cases: University Health Network in Toronto. University Health Network (UHN) adapted the successful pathway from this initiative to create the Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) (Appendix 1) in Toronto with the following services for >4000 individuals enrolled in the pathway since 2018: 1) Access to one care team: including connection to an Integrated Care lead during admission to hospital to create a complex transitional care plan that links with community services and primary care. 2) Access to one point of contact for support via a 24/7 phone line. 3) One shared electronic health record across acute care and home and community care. 4) Benefit from a flexible approach to funding that allows care to be personalized- this includes remote care monitoring and virtual care (where applicable). 5) Coordination of primary care, home and community-care and is supported by one funding source which follows the patient following discharge from hospital for up to 90 days (depending on patient need).

- Pressure Wound Staging App | Health Everywhere
Theme 1: Bridging Community and Acute Care Pressure Wound Staging App — Lead: Chester Ho . . INNOVATION STAGE Proof of Concept Health Innovation Focus Acute Illness & Injury Population and Setting Adults Technology and Intervention Data Modelling, Platform and Dashboard Visualization BENEFITS For Users For healthcare providers, the AI app offers a reliable and consistent tool for pressure injury assessment, which minimizes subjective interpretation and the potential for staging inaccuracies. By reducing the pressure on nurses to perform manual evaluations, the app empowers providers with specialized insights and enhances their confidence in assessment accuracy. Remote consultation capabilities also improve access to specialist input, especially in settings with limited wound care expertise. For The System For the healthcare system, the app can lead to more efficient wound management processes, reducing the incidence of severe pressure injuries and associated complications. This efficiency can help decrease preventable hospitalizations and associated healthcare costs. Additionally, by enabling better documentation and standardized assessments, the app supports quality improvement in patient care, with potential to reduce wait times and resource strain in acute care and emergency settings. Project Theme Information Current State An audit of Alberta’s acute care sites revealed that about one in six patients had a hospital-acquired pressure injury. These injuries cause painful, rapidly progressing sores that can lead to severe complications and even death. Pressure injuries are seen as an important indicator of healthcare Other Known Use Cases Partnerships with Xsensor and Baxter are undergoing to evaluate the impact of eHealth tools on patient outcomes. The specific focus will be on two products: 1) Xsensor’s ForeSite® Intelligent Surface, an artificial intelligence-powered continuous skin monitoring... What is the Innovation The proposed intervention is an AI-powered app designed for wound imaging, specifically for pressure injury assessment. This app would integrate digital photography with automated staging software to provide a more consistent, accurate, and efficient approach to assessing and managing pressure injuries. How it Works The AI app allows healthcare providers to capture images of pressure injuries on mobile devices and upload them directly to ConnectCare. The app’s automated staging software analyzes the wound characteristics—such as size, depth, color, and tissue health—and classifies the injury into stages (from Stage 1 to Stage 4) based on established criteria. This system not only aids in staging but also facilitates remote assessment and consultation, enabling healthcare providers to make timely and informed decisions. Other Known Cases: An audit of acute care sites in Alberta showed that approximately one of every six acute care patient had a pressure injury. Pressure injuries cause extremely painful sores that can lead to serious complications and even death. The number of pressure injuries in a clinical environment is a gauge of quality of care because it is preventable. Accurate staging and assessments are crucial in wound care as they ensure the right treatment plan is applied, which is vital for effective healing and avoiding further complications.
