From detection to understanding: How edge AI changes drone operations
Story Image courtesy Sightline Intelligence The next phase of artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge for defense applications will not be defined simply by whether a model can run onboard. It will be defined by whether detection, classification, and tracking can work together quickly and reliably enough to preserve understanding as the mission unfolds.
Defense A.I. needs to do more than detect the target Original
Modern tactical operations rarely fail due to a lack of data, but they often struggle under the weight of too much of it. ISR analysts are routinely inundated with simultaneous feeds including radar tracks, RF signals, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) streams, and a continuous cascade of AI detections. At the other extreme, an FPV pilot may have one poor analogue feed to fly one platform toward a high-value target. In both cases, the problem is not simply whether the system can detect something.

Spinning wheels: Are we failing to apply land manoeuvre lessons learnt over the last 100 years?
OPINION: Choosing the right uncrewed ground vehicle for the terrain is no different to picking a rifle from the armoury, but are we failing to apply land manoeuvre lessons learnt over the last 100 years? All too often, we hear the wheels-versus-tracks-versus-legs debate. After 100 years of land-based combat, there are pretty well-established clear roles for mobile infantry, mechanised infantry, and dismounted infantry.

The experiences and needs of unpaid family caregivers for persons living with dementia in rural settings: A qualitative systematic review
Loading metrics Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Abstract Purpose Unpaid family caregivers provide extensive support for community-dwelling persons living with dementia, impacting family caregivers’ health and wellbeing. Further, unpaid family caregiving in rural settings has additional challenges because of lower access to services.

How Do We Build the Human Capital for a True Learning Healthcare Syste
HealthcarePapers 20(3) April 2022 : 44-52.10.12927/hcpap.2022.26844 Abstract Our healthcare systems depend on human capital for effectiveness. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research – Institute of Health Services and Policy Research has prioritized building capacity for "solution-oriented research and evidence-informed health care system transformation" (CIHR IHSPR 2021a: 20) as a core strategic direction.
Modernizing our Doctoral and Postdoctoral Training Programs: Bold New
HealthcarePapers 16(Special Issue) September 2016 : 55-58.doi:10.12927/hcpap.2016.24727 Commentary Modernizing our Doctoral and Postdoctoral Training Programs: Bold New Initiatives Stephen Bornstein Abstract As Robyn Tamblyn and her colleagues (2016) note in this issue, the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) of CIHR has identified one of its key strategic goals for the 2015–2019 period as “the creation of learning health systems and the next generation of researchers...
Exploring Mentorship as a Strategy to Build Capacity and Optimize the Embedded Scientist Workforce
Abstract Background: Mentorship plays a significant role in career development in academic and applied settings, but little is documented about its role in the experiential learning of academic trainees embedded in health system organizations. The experiences of the first cohort of Canada's Health System Impact (HSI) Fellowship program can provide insights into how mentorship in this innovative type of training can work.
Training for Health System Improvement: Emerging Lessons from Canadian and US Approaches to Embedded Fellowships
Abstract The benefits of supporting experiential learning for improved health and societal outcomes have been recognized in many countries. A number of funding organizations have developed competitive funding opportunities to support experiential learning in health system organizations outside of the traditional university setting.
Training for Impact: PhD Modernization as a Key Resource for Learning Health Systems
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has articulated a vision of a learning health system (LHS) as one that provides the best care at lower costs and that constantly, systematically and seamlessly improves based on data and evidence (IOM 2013).
Training for Impact: PhD Modernization as a Key Resource for Learning Health Systems
Abstract The collection of papers in this special issue represents a response to a pan-Canadian consensus effort to modernize health services policy and research doctoral and post-doctoral training for greater health system impact.

Santé: le temps est venu de sortir la recherche des universités
Il existe un réel décalage entre la recherche de classe mondiale qui s'effectue au Canada sur les services et les politiques de santé et sa mise en application au sein de notre propre système de santé. Nos titulaires de doctorat comptent parmi les chercheurs les plus productifs et respectés dans les disciplines s'intéressant aux services, aux politiques et à l'économie en matière de santé. En effet, les universités canadiennes figurent souvent parmi les dix premières au monde dans ces domaines.
We Need To Change How We Educate Our Health Experts
Canada has a mismatch between the world class quality of research we produce on health every year and how that research is implemented into our health-care system. Canadians can be proud that our doctoral graduates are among the most productive and respected researchers in the fields of health services, health policy and health economics -- and Canadian universities are often in the global top 10 for these areas of study.
Time to move health research into the community | Toronto Star
It would be easy to point to health-care funding as the culprit, but it’s largely not the case. The Commonwealth Fund ranks comparable health systems around the world on a number of quality performance indicators and continually places Canada as one of the worst performers across a number of categories, such as timeliness, safety and efficiency of care. Only the United States routinely performs worse than Canada, sitting at last place in the rankings.
Lifting the Lid on Private Equity's Hidden Practices
Who knew what PE managers were hiding from their investors? Are private equity documents so opaque that even sophisticated investors couldn’t possibly figure out how much PE firms actually earn (or save) from their portfolio companies? Following Dodd-Frank, the agency has been examining hundreds of new PE registrants and has found serious disclosure violations regarding fund fees and expenses in more than half of the firms examined.
