CANADIAN HEALTH DATA LICENSING

Data Mobilization

INOVAIT’s Data Mobilization framework is a guide for healthcare institutions to confidently and responsibly engaging in health data licensing in support of health innovation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has opened the door to innovations that are transforming healthcare in Canada. INOVAIT’s proposed Principles for Safe, Ethical, and Trustworthy Canadian Health Data Licensing are a framework for healthcare institutions to confidently and responsibly engage in health data licensing in support of health innovation. These principles recognize the value of health data for bettering the health and well-being of Canadians while being grounded in transparency, ethical and responsible practices, patient and public representation, well-defined governance and oversight, and Indigenous data sovereignty rights and engagement. This framework is an initiative of INOVAIT’s Health Data Sharing & Governance Working Group and was created with the input of experts from across Canada.
