Welcome to the newly-launched MiLHS Lab. MiLHS stands for “Modeling Infrastructures to Facilitate the Creation, Implementation and Management of Learning Health Systems”.

Lab members pursue cutting-edge research contributing to real-life implementations of Learning Health Systems. Specifically, the lab is a hub for interdisciplinary research focused on creating novel models, methods, and prototypes that facilitates real-life implementations of Learning Health Systems in Canada.

Examples of current projects include a scoping review of the type and role of digital technologies in learning health systems and the identification of requirements for a digital Platform supporting innovation and learning in health organizations.

We are currently in the process of speaking with potential research partners and planning for our formal public launch. As we increase the lab’s research capacity, we aim at becoming a renowned interdisciplinary and partnered research center facilitating the digital transformation of Canadian health systems.

We are also recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow.
