DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPersons with spinal cord injury and dysfunction (SCI/D) often experience multimorbidity and secondary complications. Pharmacological treatments are often used to manage these conditions and complications. Funded by the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation\, we used mixed methods to better understand medication management for persons with spinal cord injury and dysfunction (SCI/D). Using administrative health data\, we described the prevalence and risk factors associated with polypharmacy and opioid use for persons with traumatic spinal cord injuries and non-traumatic spinal cord dysfunction. Using qualitative semi-structured interviews\, we explored the experiences of healthcare and service providers and persons with SCI/D with medication (self-) management. We will discuss the findings and implications for research\, practice/everyday life\, and policy. \nAbout the Speakers\n \nDr. Sara Guilcher is an Assistant Professor at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy\, and cross-appointed with the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute (RSI)\, University of Toronto. Dr. Guilcher is also an Adjunct Scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences\, and an Affiliate Scientist at the Centre for Urban Health Solutions\, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute\, St. Michael’s Hospital. As a physical therapist and clinical epidemiologist\, Dr. Guilcher’s research vision is to improve health service delivery and quality of care across the continuum\, specifically for marginalized populations with complex health and social needs. Dr. Guilcher holds a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Embedded Clinician Salary Award working with Health Quality Ontario to optimize transitions of care among persons with complex needs.\nOften using multi-methods (e.g.\, administrative health claims\, qualitative methods\, survey research)\, Dr. Guilcher’s research relates to clinical/social epidemiology\, health equity\, disability and multimorbidity. \n  \n \nLauren Cadel (MSc) is a Research Coordinator at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy and a Research Associate at the Institute for Better Health at Trillium Health Partners. In 2019\, Lauren completed her Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Sara Guilcher. Her thesis focused on exploring the attitudes\, beliefs and experiences of persons with spinal cord injury/ dysfunction pertaining to the management of prescribed and unprescribed medications. \n  \n \nAmanda Everall (MSc) is a Research Coordinator at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy. She completed her Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Toronto in 2018. Her thesis research used a multi-case study approach to describe the community pharmacy enablers (structures and processes) that supported best practice adherence-focused medication review services. Her research resulted in the development of a conceptual definition \n  \n  \n  URL:https://reltoronto.ca/index.php/lecture/dr-sara-guilcher-university-of-toronto/ LOCATION:Lyndhurst Center – Lecture Rooms A & B\, 520 Sutherland Drive\, Toronto\, Ontario\, M4G3V9\, Canada CATEGORIES:Season 11 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://reltoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/S-Guilcher-e1573233236986.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200109T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200109T130000 DTSTAMP:20260504T013753 CREATED:20190918T170742Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200106T191448Z UID:1680-1578571200-1578574800@reltoronto.ca SUMMARY:Dr. Cathy Craven\, KITE-UHN DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n1.

Wearable cameras and computer vision methods have recently emerged as technological solutions to extract objective outcome measures that reflect hand function in a natural context\, overcoming the limitations of accelerometer-based devices. However\, previous studies conducted in a highly controlled environment may not be indicative of the actual hand use of individuals with cSCI living in the community. Thus\, the validation of this technology in a home environment is necessary. This presentation will focus on the first results obtained in an uncontrolled environment\, where participants with cSCI recorded videos at home during their normal daily activities. Moreover\, particular attention will be given to the pitfalls of using this technology at home. \nBiography\nDr. Bandini received his PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Bologna (Italy) in 2016. He has been a postdoctoral research fellow at KITE @ University Health Network since September 2016\, working with the Communication and NET teams. His research aims to develop novel and objective tools for the assessment and rehabilitation of motor signs associated with neurological disorders (spinal cord injury\, stroke\, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis\, and Parkinson’s disease)\, by using computer vision and machine learning techniques. In the last three years\, he has been awarded two postdoctoral grants (Heart and Stroke Foundation – Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery and Age Well NCE) for his research on video-based face tracking in patients post-stroke.

Prior to that her background was in both pharmaceutical marketing to consumers\, and bioethics. At TRI her focus has been on delivering an innovative program called Centralized Recruitment along with Dr. Craven. This program enables patients to engage with research in a voluntary and equitable manner\, and enables researchers to identify and recruit patients to become participants in research. This research matching service began at TRI Lyndhurst Centre with spinal cord injured patients\, and she led the implementation across all TRI inpatient clinics to all researchers. She is also the site coordinator for the Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry at TRI –Lyndhurst\, the largest site contributing to this national database about traumatic SCI. Outside of TRI\, she is an active board member of the Veritas REB (12 years) and prior to that a member of the Sick Kids Hospital REB for 10 years\, as well as a member of the CIHR Research Integrity Committee for 4 years.
