Keynote Speaker: Connor Atchison

Connor Atchison is the Founder of Wisedocs and a 12-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. His military service included leadership over combat arms and healthcare operations units, and he has a Masters in Health Policy and continued education in Computer Science and Accounting. Prior to Wisedocs, Connor led the healthcare operation for New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, controlling $35m CAD in spending and management. There he experienced firsthand the many challenges health administrators face processing and reviewing medical files. Millions of dollars a year can be wasted due to a lack of solutions to help medical evaluators quickly understand large medical documents.

At Wisedocs, Connor has developed proprietary algorithms to solve this painful process, working with Dr. Wei Sun at the University of Waterloo to create patented technology that can review and analyse large amounts of medical data in as little as 30 minutes. Wisedocs now holds multiple patents on this technology and has reviewed over 7.5 million medical documents to date.

Session is open to U of G students, faculty, staff and affiliates.
