Research in Progress Series: Ethan Grooby

We invite you to attend our Research in Progress Series, a monthly interactive forum designed to share ongoing and emerging Global Health research, discuss methodological approaches, and foster scientific dialogue, cross-disciplinary exchange, and collaboration across the research community. These sessions provide an opportunity to engage with research at various stages of the research lifecycle through brief presentations followed by discussion-focused conversation.

Date: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 | 12:00 PM PT | Virtual (Zoom)

Presentation:

Ethan Grooby (Postdoctoral Fellow, Wiens Lab) will present on the Development of At-Home Physiological Signal and Vital Sign Monitoring System for Identification of Illness in Children after Hospitalisation: Opportunities in Wearable Technologies.

About the Research Group:

This work is from the Wiens Lab, led by Matthew Wiens. His research has centered on developing tools to identify children at highest risk of post-discharge mortality and implementing the “Smart Discharges” approach, which combines risk-guided follow-up care with caregiver counselling and education. His work includes extensive experience conducting research and implementation work in East Africa.

If you are interested in presenting at a future Research in Progress session, please email Charly Huxford (charly.huxford@bcchr.ca).
