Analyzing Public Google Search Interest in Measles Within Canada: Identifying Key Moments for Targeted Risk Communication

Analyzing Public Google Search Interest in Measles Within Canada: Identifying Key Moments for Targeted Risk Communication

Canada saw a sharp rise in cases—from 12 in 2023 to 2429 by May 2025—that was mostly linked to international travel [2]. Despite a highly effective vaccine, immunization rates remain below the 95% herd immunity threshold, with regional disparities [1,3]. Infodemiology helps with tracking public health information trends, identifying misinformation, and guiding risk communication [4,5].

Exploring the Barriers and Facilitators to Implementing a Smartphone App for Physicians to Improve the Management of Acute Myocardial Infarctions: Multicenter, Mixed Methods, Observational Study

The current process for STEMI activation for many centers in Canada relies on a variety of technologies that are poorly integrated or inefficient. For example, STEMI activation at the Hamilton General Hospital, a high-volume quaternary cardiac care hospital in Ontario, Canada, used fax for ECG transmission, which is secure but slow, inconvenient, and sometimes unavailable.

Sleep, Health Care–Seeking Behaviors, and Perceptions Associated With the Use of Sleep Wearables in Canada: Results From a Nationally Representative Survey

Results from a national survey investigating the self-tracking of physical activity in Canada showed that 1 in 4 Canadians reported using a wearable or smart medical device, and over half of those engaged in self-tracking regularly [11]. Groups who were identified as more likely to engage in self-tracking included young and middle-aged adults (aged 18‐34 years), and those who were healthy, employed, had a university education, and had an annual family income of over CAD $80,000 (US $63,600).

Low Earth Orbit Communication Satellites: A Positively Disruptive Technology That Could Change the Delivery of Health Care in Rural and Northern Canada

Low Earth Orbit Communication Satellites: A Positively Disruptive Technology That Could Change the Delivery of Health Care in Rural and Northern Canada

Unfortunately, in Canada, the emergency department can be 2000 km away, and when the transported patient arrives, very little acute or longitudinal medical data are available. Canada is a progressive nation that endeavors to provide comprehensive, universal, and portable health care to all its citizens. This is a challenge for a country with a population of 40 million living within 10 million km2 and where 18% live in rural or highly remote locations [1].

Mobile App–Delivered Motivational Interviewing for Women on Eating Disorder Treatment Waitlists (MI-Coach: ED): Protocol for an App Development and Pilot Evaluation

For instance, wait times exceeding 12 months for ED-specific services have been reported in Ontario, Canada, and nonprofit organizations have observed a 2-fold increase in requests for peer-support services following the COVID-19 pandemic [7]. In this regard, several treatment barriers have been identified limiting access to ED treatments and services.
