Rapid progress in health research has led to generation of new
knowledge and innovative practices in management of illness. This
has resulted in a significant challenge for health professionals:
if today we discovered a new therapy through research, when will
this discovery be regularly prescribed or utilized to treat all
patients suffering from this condition? Knowledge translation is
the non-linear and often complicated process of translating
knowledge into routine health practices. Technology enabled
knowledge translation (TEKT) is the use of information and
communication technologies (ICT) to accelerate knowledge
translation. With the ubiquity of the internet, the proliferation
of different approaches in communication and social networking, and
the continuously improving technologies from netbooks to
smartphones, there are rich opportunities for TEKT in health
education, service delivery, and research.
