Utilizing Canadian digital technology to prevent and manage diabetes, obesity, and heart disease in patients living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) – A pilot study

50% of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are at risk for having Metabolic Syndrome (Mets). While COPD is incurable, MetS can be reduced by diet and exercise. Yet, the evidence shows that lifestyle interventions with the self-management of health at home are low. Thus, The CHANGE program and My Viva Plan® (MVP) were […]

Natural Asset valuation for Municipal ecosystem services

Edmonton’s natural assets (its forests, wetlands, grasslands, rivers and streams) provide core service functions such as water treatment, rainwater management, flood protection, recreation, habitat, and pollination. The presence and health of such natural assets influence the levels of service that can be provided or supported by a Municipality, ultimately influencing the overall well-being and livability […]
