Daniel is the President of Shift Health Paradigms, a healthcare startup that brings the patient voice into clinical care. As a teenager, he was a competitive athlete representing Canada in ski racing. A series of injuries, operations and a significant concussion led him to experience the challenges of patient-provider communication. With the completion of a combined Arts and Science degree at McMaster University, Daniel grasped that effective communication and Knowledge Translation activities are fundamental in bridging the gap between subject-matter experts and the average person. The development of TickiT, an interactive survey platform, brought together his interests in improving patient-provider communications by leveraging an innovative IT platform.
