For Americans w/ severe spinal cord injuries, uninsured patients are more likely to withdraw from life-supporting treatment than insured patients, suggests research by Drs Husain Shakil and Witiw, (Christopher Witiw), at St. Michael's Hospital. U.S. News Health usnews.com/news/health-ne…

Traumatic brain injuries are the leading cause of death in young people, but only 1 in 5 cases needs surgery. Drs. Christopher Witiw & Alun Ackery have developed an AI tool to help doctors triage urgent cases. On Oct. 17, they’ll pitch their game-changing innovation at #AngelsDen

#CritiCallOntario’s Christopher Witiw & Alun Ackery are winding up their pitch to #AngelsDen to compete for vital research funding. They created an AI tool trained on brain scans of #TBI patients to help doctors identify who needs surgery. More here: angelsden.ca St. Michael's Hospital Foundation

We quantified the impact of traumatic brain injury on personal income loss and unemployment for affected Canadians. Lost work earnings in the 3 years after brain injury culminated to over half a billion dollars incurred nationally over the study period.
