Technology will improve access to health care resources for physicians and patients<\/b><\/p>\n

Friday, June 14, 2024 (Miramichi, NB)<\/b> \u2013 Horizon Health Network is launching a new, innovative project that will explore the use of PolyUnity Tech Inc.\u2019s Additive-Manufacturing-as-a Service (AMaaS) solution to enhance patient care.<\/p>\n

This impactful partnership, announced today in Miramichi during Horizon\u2019s regular Board meeting, will establish Horizon as the preferred printing and distribution partner for PolyUnity on the mainland of Atlantic Canada, which will result in significantly increased 3D printing capacity.<\/p>\n

The solution will be instrumental in the launch of Horizons new Imaging Enhancement Center (IEC) at Horizon\u2019s Saint John Regional Hospital (SJRH).<\/p>\n

The 3D printing process involves converting medical imaging data into detailed, accurate 3D models, allowing surgeons to have a better understanding of complex anatomical structures. This helps to reduce surgical risks and allow for clear and concise treatment explanations for patients and their families.<\/p>\n

PolyUnity\u2019s AMaaS solution is a fully managed product design, digital inventory and 3D printing manufacturing solution that enables health care providers to design, access and produce what they need on demand.<\/p>\n

The solution has been proven to reduce the cost, time, and complexity of traditional health care procurement, resulting in more efficient and better-quality patient care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis work is another significant step for PolyUnity and its impact across Atlantic Canada,\u201d said Jennifer Sheils, Horizon\u2019s Vice President Strategy, Transformation and Chief Innovation Officer (CIO). \u201cPolyUnity continues to be a fantastic partner in helping organizations like Horizon move forward to build supply chain resilience, decrease procurement costs, and enhance patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n

A unique feature of this Canadian technology is its digital library that lets users see what other health care organizations across the country are designing and printing. The result is a catalogue of innovation that can be leveraged by health care providers, regardless of location.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur healthcare organizations are continuously asked to do more with less. This is why innovation becomes critical to delivering value-based healthcare services. We\u2019re excited that Horizon Health Network recognizes the transformational impact of 3D printing,\u201d said Jacqueline Lee, CEO, PolyUnity Tech Inc.<\/p>\n

This project is being supported by the Coordinated Accessible National (CAN) Health Network \u2013 a federally funded organization that works with Canadian health care operators (called Edges), to identify their biggest challenges and match them with Canadian-made technology solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership is another example of how the CAN Health Network is empowering the innovation and health care sectors to come together and use their technology in a way that will benefit all Canadians. Horizon Health Network\u2019s project with PolyUnity will use 3D printing to transform medical imaging into accurate 3D models, which will help surgeons better understand their patients,\u201d said the Honourable Rechie Valdez, Minister of Small Business. \u201cThis partnership will not only reduce surgical risks and procurement costs but also improve patient care and outcomes. Congratulations to Horizon and PolyUnity on this great project.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2023, PolyUnity became the first Atlantic-based company in the CAN Health Network to scale through a National RFP after completing a project with Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services (formerly Eastern Health). In recognition of this achievement and for its impact on the province\u2019s health care system, PolyUnity was named the CAN Health Network 2023 Company of the Year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CAN Health Network is proud to see PolyUnity continue to scale across the Network and beyond\u201d said Dr. Dante Morra, Founder and Chair, CAN Health Network. \u201cThis technology is strengthening Canada\u2019s supply chain and reducing costs for our health care system.\u201d<\/p>\n
