June 21, 2023 | Toronto, ON <\/strong>\u2013 INOVAIT, the pan-Canadian network for image-guided therapy (IGT) hosted by Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI) and funded by the Government of Canada\u2019s Strategic Innovation Fund, is pleased to announce 14 awarded projects that are part of the third round of its Pilot Fund.<\/p>\n

The Pilot Fund projects focus on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into IGT technologies to tackle various diseases and illnesses, using different imaging modality techniques and therapies. Through these advancements, the network aims to bolster Canada\u2019s medtech sector as a global leader and to improve the health outcomes of Canadians. The awardees of the Pilot Fund are eligible to receive up to $125,000 for their projects.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to continue growing the most innovative IGT projects in Canada to promote commercial translation of research,” says Dr. Kullervo Hynynen, INOVAIT co-executive director and vice president of research and innovation at SRI. “Through this round of INOVAIT Pilot Fund projects, we are allocating over $1.6 million towards these 14 new projects to advance Canada’s image-guided therapy sector.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A total of $6.3 million combined investment from public and private sources will support these 14 new projects. To date, INOVAIT has provided funding for 61 projects across the IGT sector in Canada. These projects involve collaborations between small- and medium-sized enterprises, hospital research centres, and academic institutions throughout Canada.<\/p>\n

Pilot Fund projects were selected by INOVAIT\u2019s expert review committee based on their scientific merit, potential for commercialization, economic impact, and benefit to healthcare. Awardees included NZ Technologies in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Tenomix in London, Ontario.<\/p>\n
