​Canadian companies building AI-enabled and data-driven health technologies are ready to improve patient care. Too often, they cannot get the health data they need to develop, validate and scale their products here at home.

​Connected by Design: Building Canada's Health Data Future

​Connected by Design, hosted by INOVAIT and DIGITAL, brings together the people who can change that. For one day in Vancouver, 150 decision-makers from across Canada's health data ecosystem will gather to learn about the critical components of health data sharing that serves both innovation and patients. Attendees will include founders, clinicians, researchers, hospital leaders, data stewards, privacy experts, policymakers and industry partners.
