Schedule for: 20w5109 - Use of Wearable and Implantable Devices in Health Research

A buffet dinner is served daily between 5:30pm and 7:30pm in the Vistas Dining Room, the top floor of the Sally Borden Building.

Breakfast is served daily between 7 and 9am in the Vistas Dining Room, the top floor of the Sally Borden Building.

A brief introduction to BIRS with important logistical information, technology instruction, and opportunity for participants to ask questions.

Lunch is served daily between 11:30am and 1:30pm in the Vistas Dining Room, the top floor of the Sally Borden Building.

Meet in the Corbett Hall Lounge for a guided tour of The Banff Centre campus.

Meet in foyer of TCPL to participate in the BIRS group photo. The photograph will be taken outdoors, so dress appropriately for the weather. Please don't be late, or you might not be in the official group photo!

During joint group activities, we pursue the following goals: 1. Creative brainstorming. The discussion will provide an opportunity for experts working on different aspects of the theory and application of wearable and implantable technology to exchange ideas, leading to fresh insights and new developments. 2. Initiating inter-institutional, cross-disciplinary research groups dedicated to specific scientific questions. To ensure success some of the groups will be seeded with experienced data analysts and scientific investigators who have a long track of successful and mutual collaboration. Other groups will form spontaneously under the mentorship of a senior investigator. 3. Exploring ideas for future funding from federal agencies as well as from industry to sustain the momentum of the initial research groups.
