A PAN-CANADIAN NETWORK 

Creating the future
of image-guided therapy

Image-guided therapy (IGT) is the practice of using medical imaging to plan, perform, and evaluate medical interventions. Such therapies not only make procedures more precise and less invasive for patients, but also generate rich streams of data for clinicians. Given the advances in processing power and artificial intelligence, there is immense potential to leverage this data to improve clinical outcomes. The INOVAIT network was founded by the Sunnybrook Research Institute in order to unlock the power of IGT data by facilitating the integration of AI data handling into the industry’s most promising ventures.

We are INOVAIT

INOVAIT is a membership based national network with a strong industry focus that harnesses breakthroughs in image-guided therapy (IGT) and the power of digital systems, enhanced analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to advance medical imaging, diagnostics and deliver precision treatments.

By providing a platform to connect, educate, and invest in the sector’s brightest minds and most promising ventures, INOVAIT will grow Canada’s image-guided therapy industry into a global leader, ultimately improving patient outcomes and fueling economic development.

Cohesic flips the script on incorporating AI into healthcare

Jordan Engbers, Chief Science Officer of Cohesic, a data scientist who spent years in clinical research, is painfully aware of the chasm between the promise and reality of AI in healthcare. While an AI model might work within a study where researchers systematically gather, clean up, and standardize the data, real-world healthcare data is often too messy and unreliable to use for clinical decisions.

Seeing beneath the surface: How MIMOSA is transforming wound care

Dr. Karen Cross, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and CEO of MIMOSA Diagnostics, saw countless patients with diabetes and chronic wounds in her clinic. People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing pressure wounds due to complications like poor circulation and nerve damage. Many of her patients came into her clinic too late to prevent complications and ultimately had lower extremity amputations to prevent fatal infections.
