Speaker
Dr. Lillian Hung - Founder and Head, IDEA Lab; Assistant Professor, UBC
Nazia Ahmed - Lab Manager, IDEA Lab
At the beginning of the pandemic, stay-at-home orders highlighted the importance of social connection; and technology became paramount in filling the gap in bringing people together virtually. The use of technology in long term care settings continued to grow too, including using telepresence robots as part of delivering care. In this webinar, our speakers will share how to leverage technology to involve patient partners and stakeholders in knowledge translation. They will also discuss challenges and practical strategies to overcome them. You will also have the opportunity to hear more about the future directions for care delivery from Dr. Lillian Hung and Nazia Ahmed.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the process of innovating with patient partners and stakeholders to advance the use of telepresence robots in dementia care.
- Identify benefits and challenges in engaging with patient partners and stakeholders in implementation research during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Consider facilitators and barriers to implementing virtual care in aged care settings.
- Describe future directions for supporting technology adoption in aged care settings.

Leveraging arts-based methods in research dissemination: Partnering with community and using film to address HIV stigma
Leveraging arts-based methods such as film can be utilized for research dissemination. In this webinar, Dr. Angela Kaida, Juno Roche, and Azra Bhanji will discuss how they are using their film HIV Made Me Fabulous to help share HIV science to reduce stigma and discrimination.
HIV Made Me Fabulous is a 10-minute film that tells the personal story of Juno Roche, a writer, activist and trans woman, who has been living with HIV for over 25 years. Grounded in HIV science, the film examines issues related to HIV, intersectionality, and sexual health equity, and delivers these themes through embodied storytelling.
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, the audience will be able to:
- Understand the use of arts-based methods in research dissemination
- Understand the methods used to develop a dissemination strategy and measure its reach
- Understand the impacts of film as a knowledge translation tool to affect change
