Digital Health Support at WHRI

We are here to support your digital health research project.

The WHRI can help by:

  • Providing advice on digital health research and evaluation methodology.
  • Supporting user testing of digital technologies.
  • Seeking to understand your digital health needs and connect you with vendors, innovators, and other digital health experts.
  • Connecting research teams with WHRI’s knowledge translation and communications resources and providing access to WHRI’s digital audiences for participant recruitment and research promotion.
  • Recommending trusted vendors and helping to manage vendor relationships.
  • Providing guidance for members interested in implementing research projects at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre.
  • Being a link to privacy and research ethics, guiding members to the appropriate resources and departments.

If you are a WHRI researcher and are currently working on or thinking about starting a project focused on improving health using a digital tool, connect with Beth Payne, Digital Health Research Program Manager.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
