Le principal message à retenir : La technologie et l'innovation sont essentielles à tous les secteurs en Colombie-Britannique, soulignant le besoin continu de collaboration intersectorielle et interindustries pour stimuler une croissance économique durable et améliorer le bien-être des Colombiens-Britanniques.

ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 :  DIGITAL announces its largest investment to advance AI-powered technologies for the healthcare sector – Health Compass II

Today, we announced our largest investment with innovative Canadian health tech companies and researchers to advance the development and deployment of AI-powered technologies to better support healthcare providers and enhance patient outcomes.

Led by ORX in collaboration with a pan-Canadian team of Tali AI, HEALWELL AI, Phelix.ai, WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) and Simon Fraser University (SFU); DIGITAL’s investment in the Health Compass II project will introduce an innovative suite of four AI-driven modules to increase patient engagement, reduce administrative burnout, assist healthcare providers with documentation and enhance clinical decision-making. These modules will be integrated through an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)-agnostic mobile app to further advance patient engagement. 

Our investment of $15.3M to support the Health Compass II consortium is being leveraged by investments from the project partners into a total project value of $44M. This new commitment builds on our original $3.1M investment in 2022, which demonstrated the potential of an AI-powered ecosystem to transform Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) via WELL’s EMR leveraging ORX’s predictive AI technology and Tali AI’s AI Assistant.

"Artificial intelligence presents a transformative opportunity for healthcare professionals to innovate and enhance patient experiences, and Canada is at the forefront of this pivotal field. Our government is proud to champion the Digital Technology Cluster as it collaborates with industry partners and researchers to reshape the delivery of healthcare services for Canadians." - Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry.
