BIO

Dr. Abejirinde is an Assistant Profesor at University of Toronto and leading the development of a pan-Canadian framework for digital health evaluations at the Canadian Network for Digital Health Evaluation (CNDHE). Accompanied by an interactive toolkit, the aim is to inform a standardized approach to evaluating a wide array of digital health interventions with a health equity focus and the Quadruple aims as core health impact outcomes. It is expected that this product suite will be adapted and tested as a quality improvement strategy in different Canadian contexts, and will evolve as its application becomes widespread.
