Made in Canada. Built for the World
Canada builds world-class health technology. The question has never been whether we can invent it. It is whether we will buy it, adopt it and scale it here first. When we do, the same dollar improves care for Canadian patients and builds companies proven at home and ready for the world. That is the advantage, and it is ours to take

Discover what makes the CAN Health Network different and how we’re helping Canada lead the new health care economy.
The CAN Health Network’s primary goals are to create economic prosperity by scaling Canadian technology companies and stimulate the creation of domestic Canadian jobs by helping companies overcome the structural barriers to doing this on their own. As a result of the Network, health systems are able to joint-problem solve with companies to provide innovative solutions resulting in better tools, cost savings and a more efficient health care system.

Companies are provided access to health care sites where they can demonstrate the value of their technology and gain valuable insights from their customers.

See the power of CAN Health in action
A national network reaching every corner of the health system
The CAN Health Network is fully operational from coast to coast to coast, with Edges across nine provinces and one territory, and we continue to build the Network and form new connections with health care operators across the country. The Network is organized across the North, West, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic, Indigenous and private partner Edges, allowing us to work across regional boundaries to identify shared problems, priorities and potential solutions, and to connect health care operators interested in similar technology solutions.
CAN Health is not just about hospitals. Our Edges span the full care continuum: health systems and authorities, primary and community care, specialists and clinics, acute care, long-term care, pharmacy, and lab and diagnostics. Together they serve 85 percent of Canada’s population and hold roughly half of the country’s health care buying power.
Each Edge within the CAN Health Network regions represents a health region/authority or a group of health care organizations that function as a co-op style placement site. Mid-to-late stage ventures embed themselves into that Edge for up to a year, working on key market-ready challenges faced by that Edge and other similar organizations across the Network. Successful products are adopted within that Edge and can then be scaled across the rest of the CAN Health Network using innovative procurement models based on market demand. Our Edge model creates an ecosystem of globally competitive companies, boosting GDP and creating quality employment opportunities here in Canada.
