I also strongly believe that technology can play an important role in the delivery and education of medical cannabis leading improved patient outcomes. The Cannvas.me online platform will have global reach and be able to provide patients and doctors with knowledge and education on an international basis. I look forward to working with the Cannvas team on this important project.”

He is a valuable addition to the advisory board and I look forward to collaborating with Dr. Patel to bring advanced technology to the medical cannabis space.”

Dr. Patel is an engineer-turned-clinician with a passion for neurology, psychiatry, immunology, pharmacology, pharmacogenomics, and electronic healthcare delivery. For the past three years he has been working as a Neuropsychiatric Intake Specialist and Counselor for a private psychosomatic psychiatry clinic located in Toronto, Ontario. He also works as the medical advisor for My Natural Living Life, a concierge medical cannabis clinic and most recently took on a concurrent role as the Medical Advisor for health informatics & measurement-based care with Trendlines Health Inc., a company specializing in remote data acquisition from wearable health devices for data consolidation and analysis.
