   Reimagining Aging: Innovation That Helps Older Adults Thrive

   In this episode of Advancing Health Care Through Simulation, host Lisa George welcomes Jocelyn Rempel, Chair in Older Adult Health at Mount Royal University, Founding Director of the Centre for Health and Innovation in Aging, gerontology nurse, educator and researcher, and co-founder of Rise Care, a health innovation company dedicated to improving care for older adults. Jocelyn shares how education, simulation, virtual care and emerging health technologies are helping older adults maintain their independence while preparing healthcare professionals to deliver compassionate, person-centered care across hospitals, communities and home settings. The conversation explores why older adults should be active partners in designing healthcare innovations, how wearable technologies could help reduce falls, and the growing role of remote monitoring and virtual care in supporting healthier aging. Jocelyn also discusses how simulation can help organizations test new technologies before implementation and explains why collaboration across healthcare, industry and education is essential to improving care. In this episode, you'll learn: Why healthcare education must prepare learners for care across hospitals, homes and communities Why older adults should help design the technologies intended for them How wearable vestibular stimulation technology could improve balance and reduce falls The growing impact of virtual care and remote patient monitoring How simulation can safely test new technologies, workflows and models of care Why collaboration is essential to improving care for an aging population What gives Jocelyn optimism about the future of healthy aging and healthcare innovation Whether you're a healthcare professional, educator, researcher, student or innovator, this episode offers practical insights into building more accessible, person-centered care for an aging population while embracing new technologies that support independence and quality of life.

   Building Healthcare Around Real Lives

   In this episode of Advancing Health Care Through Simulation, host Lisa George sits down with David Campbell, an internal medicine specialist, endocrinologist, and health services researcher whose work focuses on diabetes, chronic disease management, health equity, and improving care for socially disadvantaged populations. Dr. Campbell explores the growing pressures facing healthcare systems, from workforce shortages and rising chronic disease rates to increasing social inequities that directly impact health outcomes. He explains why effective healthcare extends far beyond clinical visits and why factors such as housing, income, food security, racism, trauma, and access to social supports play a critical role in determining patient outcomes. The conversation also examines the importance of integrated care teams, patient-oriented research, pragmatic clinical trials, health informatics, and the future role of evidence-based decision-making in healthcare systems. Topics discussed include: The growing burden of chronic disease in modern healthcare How poverty and cost-of-living pressures impact diabetes care Why healthcare systems struggle to address social determinants of health The value of integrated, team-based healthcare models Lessons from healthcare systems in the United Kingdom and Ontario Why patient voices must be included in healthcare innovation Pragmatic trials and real-world healthcare research The Calgary Diabetes Mobile Clinic initiative The role of health data, AI, and learning health systems Why empathy, trust, and human connection remain essential in healthcare The future of healthcare innovation and evidence-based policy Dr. Campbell offers a powerful reminder that improving healthcare outcomes requires more than better treatments. It requires understanding the realities of people's lives and designing systems that work for everyone.

   High Impact, Low Tech: A Creative Approach to Healthcare Simulation

   In this episode of Advancing Healthcare Through Simulation, host Lisa George welcomes Dr. Anthony Seto, Clinical Associate Professor at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, emergency physician, educator and one of Canada's most creative innovators in simulation-based education. Anthony's unique career combines emergency medicine with filmmaking, DJing, event medicine and lifeguard training to create memorable learning experiences that emphasize teamwork, communication and learner engagement. His innovative approaches include Draw & Doodle Sim, TeamSIM, Beep Beep Sim, escape room style learning and low fidelity simulations that demonstrate impactful education doesn't require expensive technology. Throughout the conversation, Anthony explains why creativity often matters more than realism, how gamification improves teamwork, and why educators should not let limited budgets prevent them from creating meaningful simulation experiences. In this episode you'll learn: How filmmaking and DJing shaped Anthony's approach to simulation design Why low fidelity simulations can be just as effective as high-tech simulation labs The story behind Draw & Doodle Sim and the research that validated the concept How event medicine teams use simulation to prepare for unpredictable emergencies Why TeamSIM separates teamwork from medical content to improve learning How escape room concepts became Beep Beep Sim for on-call emergency training Practical ideas educators can implement with little or no budget Emerging trends including AI, virtual reality, tele-simulation and psychological safety Why creativity and learner engagement remain at the heart of effective simulation Whether you're new to simulation or an experienced educator, this episode offers practical ideas for creating engaging learning experiences regardless of your available technology or resources.
