Lisa Cranley, an associate professor in the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, has been awarded a 2024 Compassion and Artificial Intelligence Fellowship by AMS Healthcare.

The fellowship recognizes researchers for showcasing compassionate leadership in health care through visionary projects that aim to help care providers navigate a complex and rapidly evolving health-care landscape.

Cranley's research involves the co-development of a high-fidelity prototype of a digital app that will support compassionate, person-centred care for residents of long-term care homes by supporting them and their family caregivers in developing care plans that give them a sense of autonomy and voice in their care provision.

“Person-centred care is compassionate care, and for me this means ensuring that my research will advance compassionate care delivery in an innovative way while being relevant and useful to the populations that it will serve," Cranley said.

Lindsay Jibb, a scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and assistant professor at the University of Toronto's Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, has received a 2024 Council of Ontario Universities Programs in Nursing (COUPN) Scholarship Into Practice Award.

The award celebrates excellence in nursing research and further recognizes the contributions of the recipients to nursing education and the broader nursing community.

Jibb, who holds the Signy Hildur Eaton Chair in Pediatric Nursing Research, was recognized for her innovative program of research which explores digital solutions to pediatric cancer pain and quality of life for children and their caregivers. Her work seeks to better understand the pain and stress of children and adolescents with cancer and co-design digital solutions to help them and their families self-manage pain.

“My goal is to help alleviate the burden of cancer pain on children and their families, helping them receive quality pain management that improves their well-being,” says Jibb. “It is an honour to be given this award and have the important work that nursing researchers do be recognized.”

Kelly Metcalfe, associate dean of research and external relations at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, says Jibb is “an expert in the field of child health, and her research working to directly impact and improve the lives of children with cancer makes her an exceptional model nursing scholarship, and well-deserving of this award.”
