3RD EDITION – WINTER 2022

Welcome to the TNG

Welcome to the winter edition of Power Up! the ACRM Technology Networking Group newsletter. If you were able to join all of us (virtually) at the Annual ACRM Conference in September, I hope you enjoyed all the phenomenal content. This edition of Power Up! features the winners of LaunchPad, our technology competition held at the Conference. Read on to hear about all the amazing progress in the field of technology for rehabilitation. The Technology Networking Group is very grateful to our judging panel that featured:

• Member Spotlight: Dr. Rosalie Wang, PhD, OT Reg. (Ont.)
• LaunchPad Spotlight: Pooja Viswanathan, PhD

Content from the Conference is available online until March 2022. This issue of Power Up! also includes updates from our Task Forces, including our newly formed Telehealth Task Force. If you are interested in joining a task force, please email me or the Task Force chairs. Lastly, I am very pleased to introduce Lauren Sheehan as Co-Chair Elect of the Technology Networking Group. Lauren was instrumental in forming the Clinician and Industry Collaborative Task Force and I can’t wait to see her contributions as Chair. I hope to see all of you all at the Annual ACRM Conference November 2022. Stay safe and healthy!
