We developed a tool to support climate-conscious inhaler prescribing & shared decision-making: lungtoolkit.com/en/eco
Read our publication in @journal_CHEST to learn more about how we co-developed this tool with patients & family doctors: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nw3I…
A solution: Our inhaler conversation aids 🌎🫁 allow you to easily compare inhalers by carbon footprint and cost, engage in shared decision-making, and promote #planetaryhealth
Available in English & French at: lungtoolkit.com/en/eco
Key takeaway: Patients are highly receptive to #sustainability in healthcare but need to be equipped with information and engaged in making treatment decisions
Only 20% of inhaler users were aware that some inhaler devices (e.g. metered-dose inhalers) have higher carbon footprints than other devices 🧠
But 92% of MDI users were willing to switch to an inhaler with a lower carbon footprint 💪
Inhaler users are concerned about #climatechange & its health impacts 🌎
1 in 3 Canadian inhaler users have already experienced health changes related to climate change 🫁
Hot off the press! Our national survey of ~350 Canadian #inhaler users is published in @BMJOpen_Resp

450,000+ people die from asthma annually. Most of these deaths are preventable. This #WorldAsthmaDay, we’re calling on stakeholders to ensure access to ICS in all countries and biologics for severe cases. Learn more: gaapp.org/asthmaday2026

🌍This #EarthDay let’s talk about inhalers & their environmental impact. Check out lungtoolkit.com/eco to view conversation aids that compare inhaler carbon footprints, reflect patient priorities & support climate-conscious prescribing: 🌱 #PlanetaryHealth #Asthma #COPD
Feeling honoured to have had my work recognized twice at #CRC2026 🌎🫁
Took a long break from this platform but I am back to share some recent work!
Interested in how Generative AI 🤖can be used as a teaching and learning tool🎓 in higher education? Check out our roundtable discussion for the TA Table podcast on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4ze…
Check out my latest article in Healthcare Quarterly discussing the implications of my thesis work 🫁 Can we leverage technology to simultaneously screen for COPD & lung cancer? 🤔
#Lungcancer & #COPD have many shared risk factors and not surprisingly, the two diseases often coexist. @ICESOntario highlights the burden of #COPD among patients with lung cancer in ON & explores opportunities to enhance lung cancer screening programs.

Welcome to Dunn House — a prescription for change that has been years in the making. Housing is health. And this is the power of partnership.
51 UHN patients with no fixed address comprised over 4,000 emergency department visits in the past year. This is driven by the pathologies of poverty.
For the 51 individuals moving in, this is more than housing—it's good health care. With primary care, Indigenous-led support, harm reduction and addiction treatment services, we’re redefining compassionate care for people experiencing homelessness.
The work isn't done until tenants are settled in—and won’t feel real until I’m seeing patients in the clinic room right onsite. While a month in hospital costs over $30,000, supportive housing costs just $4,000, promoting human dignity and sound health economics.
Grateful to our entire team, all partners and the advocacy of the Parkdale community for making this possible. This is just the beginning of showing the world that housing is healthcare.

I am thrilled to share that I successfully defended my PhD thesis last week 🙌 It was a long & winding road but I am grateful for the support & the memories. Here is 5 years of hard work summarized in one slide 🫶
