As we launch into 2007, our fifth issue of Health Technology Update brings you information on several new health technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Update also introduces an innovative system that follows up with patients after they go home from hospital.

For this issue, we’ve enlisted help from Dr. William Freeland, a British-trained family physician who served as Health Canada’s Chief of the Device Evaluation Division in the Bureau of Medical Devices from 1992 until his recent retirement. Dr. Freeland has prepared a primer article for us on how medical devices are regulated in Canada. We are very fortunate to be able to benefit from Dr. Freeland’s expertise in this area.

We hope that you find this issue of the Health Technology Update informative and useful. And from all of us at CADTH, we wish you a happy, healthy and fulfilling New Year!
