The number of Ontarioans aged 65 years or older is expected to double by 2035, contributing to healthcare costs consuming 70% of the provincial budget by 2024. Digitizing healthcare delivery through the application of health technologies is recognized as a key strategy to improving patient outcomes while addressing rising costs. Since 2011, NSERC Build-IE funding for the Technology Solutions for Healthcare Management and Health Research and Promotion research program has enabled Centennial College to successfully support Ontario's health technology sector's small- and medium-sized enterprises overcome applied research, technology development and commercialization challenges in the areas of software programming, simulation and gaming applications for patient education, and self-management of chronic conditions. To date, the Centennial team has completed over 130 projects with 90+ industry partners creating 138 novel health technology technologies, of which over 120 have been successfully commercialized. The continued growth of Ontario's health technology sector, and companies' increasing demand for expanded applied research and technology development support in areas such as machine learning, data analytics, natural language processing, image processing, signal processing, robotics, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, means that Centennial College now seeks NSERC Extend-IE funding to renew its Technology Solutions for Healthcare Management and Health Research and Promotion research program . NSERC Extend-IE investment will enable the College to help companies overcome significant scientific and technical challenges related to health technology design, development and commercialization and increase their ability to develop products that can compete in the global healthcare market.

预计到 2035 年，65 岁或以上的安大略省人口数量将增加一倍，到 2024 年，医疗保健费用将占全省预算的 70%。通过应用卫生技术实现医疗保健服务数字化被认为是改善患者治疗结果的关键战略，同时解决成本上升的问题。自 2011 年以来，NSERC Build-IE 为医疗保健管理技术解决方案和健康研究与推广研究计划提供的资金使 Centennial College 能够成功支持安大略省卫生技术部门的中小企业克服应用研究、技术开发和商业化挑战用于患者教育和慢性病自我管理的软件编程、模拟和游戏应用程序领域。迄今为止，Centennial团队已与90多个行业合作伙伴完成了130多个项目，创造了138项新型健康技术，其中120多项已成功商业化。安大略省健康技术行业的持续增长，以及企业对机器学习、数据分析、自然语言处理、图像处理、信号处理、机器人、机械工程和生物医学工程等领域扩大应用研究和技术开发支持的需求不断增加，意味着 Centennial College 现在正在寻求 NSERC Extend-IE 资助，以更新其医疗管理技术解决方案以及健康研究和促进研究计划。 NSERC Extend-IE 投资将使学院能够帮助公司克服与健康技术设计、开发和商业化相关的重大科学和技术挑战，并提高其开发可在全球医疗保健市场竞争的产品的能力。
