Application to support research collaboration

WE-Spark Health Institute has developed a customized mobile and web app to support collaborative research projects across Windsor-Essex.

The app seamlessly connects clinicians and researchers from across its four partner institutions — the University of Windsor, Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, St. Clair College, and Windsor Regional Hospital — to share ideas, spark collaboration, and provide quick access to tools, resources, and events.

“At WE-Spark, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do,” says executive director Lisa Porter. “Windsor-Essex has all the expertise we need to drive discovery and solutions, and this new tool in our toolbox will make it faster and easier for our research community to find each other to make it happen.”

Future iterations will include expanding the tool so students and the Windsor-Essex community can learn about and participate in local medical research studies.
