Current digital tools and records often fail to meet their needs, creating delays and inequities. This study introduces a pragmatic, digitally enabled model that improves coordination and equity by leveraging existing infrastructure. Using a human-centered, multi-method approach, stakeholders shaped the design through interviews, thematic analysis, and a House of Quality framework. The model unifies trusted youth resources into a single-entry point, enables secure school-clinic referrals, and enhances provincial portals via lightweight interoperability. A novel Early Detection Layer complements these functions by integrating micro-screeners, referral-signal extraction, and an orchestrated triage pathway, enabling earlier identification of emerging concerns. Regional pilots prioritize youth consent, privacy, and equitable access. This approach provides a scalable, context-sensitive blueprint for building connected, proactive, and sustainable adolescent mental health ecosystems in federated health systems worldwide.","PeriodicalId":94357,"journal":{"name":"Studies in health technology and informatics","volume":"334 ","pages":"47-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146183937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Personalized Assessment Tool (PAT) project aims to create a standardized intake that collects patient-generated risk information and reuses it across different healthcare settings. PAT Phase 1 examined 43,011 records and narrowed them down through screenings to identify 31 appropriate self-administered instruments across 15 health-related domains for universal intake and targeted follow-up. A dual-index framework evaluated the readiness and suitability of these tools, leading to three outcomes: some instruments were ready for immediate use, others needed to be adapted, and a few required Canadian validation before implementation. By establishing standardized processes for risk assessment, PAT aligns with Canada Health Infoway's vision and operationalizes the FHLIP 2026 theme, promoting personalized prevention in primary care.","PeriodicalId":94357,"journal":{"name":"Studies in health technology and informatics","volume":"334 ","pages":"14-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146184006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a minimal viable design for a Canadian primary care intervention that adapts familiar social media features and aligns them to Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Feeds support autonomy with user-controlled topics, pacing, and plain-language \"why you saw this\" rationales. Timelines support competence through short lessons, tiny practice steps, light data entry, and brief coach feedback. Groups support relatedness via moderated, goal-aligned peer exchanges. At population scale, a predictive service classifies patients as at-risk for diabetes within an 8-year horizon. Clinicians then enroll eligible patients by placing a preventive-care prescription in the electronic record. Clinicians receive a monthly patient population-level report that lists actionable cohorts, aggregate SDT signals, safety metrics, and equity views. The existing literature supports mapping of social-media features to health apps and several authors have successfully implemented these features in various clinical settings. To adapt these insights for the Canadian context, we consulted a variety of stakeholders (N=13) who validated and refined the design and produced measurable acceptance criteria for implementation. These included managing privacy and governance, misinformation controls, engagement ethics, platform independence, peer matching, prediction, and reporting. Next steps are architecture finalization, broader co-design, and a single-system feasibility pilot.","PeriodicalId":94357,"journal":{"name":"Studies in health technology and informatics","volume":"334 ","pages":"19-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146184043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the absence of a pan-Canadian view, Digital Health Canada's CHIEF Executive Forum convened the AI in Action Working Group, a national collaborative created to advance shared learning, interoperability, and responsible clinical adoption of AI. As Stage One of this initiative, the Working Group conducted the first structured environmental scan of clinical AI deployments across Canada to create a national baseline and inform future interoperable scaling. Using publicly available sources and a standardized taxonomy, 152 initiatives were identified across provinces and territories. For each entry, data elements (including venue, function, technology type, deployment stage, partnerships, and outcomes) were independently verified using a common coding framework. This taxonomy enabled semantic and analytic interoperability by allowing consistent comparison across jurisdictions and maturity levels. Four signals emerged: (1) workflow-embedded applications show the strongest adoption; (2) equity and interoperability gaps persist, with primary care, long-term care, community health, and Indigenous/remote settings underrepresented; (3) evidence reporting is minimal, hindering evaluative and organizational interoperability; and (4) large language models and robotics represent emerging clinical frontiers. This national scan demonstrates that Canada's clinical AI landscape is diverse but constrained by gaps in semantic, workflow, organizational, and evaluative interoperability. By establishing a shared national taxonomy and baseline dataset, this work creates foundational infrastructure to support coordinated, equitable, and interoperable adoption.","PeriodicalId":94357,"journal":{"name":"Studies in health technology and informatics","volume":"334 ","pages":"103-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146183953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This project explores how Ontario can responsibly navigate health data privatization to support research and private-sector collaboration while maintaining public trust. The project engages key stakeholders to identify enablers and risks in developing a unified framework for responsible data access. Grounded in the foundational principles of the Ontario Health Data Council, the work examines current data-sharing pathways, legal constraints under PHIPA, governance gaps, and comparative international models such as the UK's Trusted Research Environments and Finland's Findata authority. The project aims to produce actionable recommendations for a policy framework that balances innovation with ethical stewardship, enabling privacy-protected access to data that advances patient care, population health, and economic growth. Through this research, Ontario's health data can be responsibly unlocked to foster public-private partnerships, accelerate discovery, and strengthen its position as a leader in digital health and life sciences.","PeriodicalId":94357,"journal":{"name":"Studies in health technology and informatics","volume":"334 ","pages":"125-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146183903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
