Dr. Mike Evans is founder of the Health Design Lab at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, an Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Toronto, and a staff physician at St. Michael's Hospital.

Interview with Dr. Michael Evans
NXNE Interactive speaker Dr. Michael Evans is a leading light in "patient engagement", which is attempting to fuse the way we deliver health care with the new (and old) ways we personally solve our health problems. He is Director and founder of the Health Design Lab, which is redefining "interdisciplinary" in medicine by bringing together filmmakers, patients, technologists, designers, and marketers and combining them with clinicians and researchers to illuminate new pathways for evidence-based decisions. He is an inner city physician at St Michael's hospital, a scientist at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, and an Associate Professor in Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Evans is most interested in how quality information gets dispersed. Whether through traditional means as Chief Editor of the top selling Canadian primary care textbook of medicine or his columns in the Globe & Mail, to more innovative mediums such as founding of the Mini Med School for the public at the University of Toronto, his "Evidence-Based Radio" program on CBC's Fresh Air, digital storytelling series "The Truth of It" for those immersed in the cancer journey, or "The Adventures of Medical Man" his recently released kids book.
