The LSI is proud to announce our next guest at the Entrepreneurial Speaker Series, Dr. Brendan Byrne, Chief Innovation Officer at TELUS Health.
Dr. Byrne studied Neurobiology at Yale and got his medical degree from McGill. As a family physician, Dr. Byrne recognized an opportunity to improve operations in physician offices and medical clinics. He built Wolf Medical – an electronic medical record (EMR) solution that automated many of recurring time-consuming the tasks, including billing, scheduling, workflow planning, clinical practice and chronic disease management. Dr. Byrne directed the evolution of Wolf from its inception in 1998 to becoming one of the fastest growing EMR companies in Canada, prior to its acquisition by TELUS Health in 2012.
Dr. Byrne is recognized throughout North America as a leading physician and computing expert. At this event he will share with us his entrepreneurial journey and his vision for how information, communications and technology (ICT) can transform healthcare for Canadians.
