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.

INOVAIT publishes framework for responsibly unlocking Canadian health data for innovation and better patient care

Industry members in the INOVAIT Network are developing AI technologies that are revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of disease and improving patient outcomes while building the Canadian healthcare economy. The health data these companies need to create their technologies most often reside with Canadian healthcare institutions that are reluctant to share data with commercial partners due to caution stemming from a lack of clarity in privacy legislation and historical practices focused primarily on minimizing privacy and security risks.

INOVAIT opens Pilot Fund program to support Canadian image-guided therapy and artificial intelligence projects

INOVAIT, the Canadian image-guided therapy (IGT) and AI network, is opening a call for applications for its Pilot Fund. The INOVAIT Pilot Fund is a reimbursement-based funding program to support collaborative research and development (R&D) projects that apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, or big data to IGT technologies.
