Digital Health

The UdeS and CIUSSS de l’Estrie - CHUS: The heart of Quebec’s digital health ecosystem

In Estrie, we do more than simply talk about digital health. Our local scientific medical communities are working hand in hand to advance research and make a significant improvement in data access to benefit patients.

All research is geared toward improving care for the population, from prevention to recovery, from drug discovery to enhanced quality and safety of care. Analysis of environmental and genetic health determinants is intended to personalize medical care.
