Connect1d Canada is a person-driven digital platform that enables those with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to easily learn about and access innovative treatments from across Canada while contributing to clinical research in the areas that matter most to them. Connect1d Canada also allows researchers to recruit and engage with patients with greater ease, thereby accelerating research and creating a more diverse and complete picture of Canadians living with type 1 diabetes. Working collaboratively with researchers and those living with the condition being studied, this platform was designed to meet the needs of both groups and support better overall health outcomes.
