Our mission
To empower Canadians through a trustworthy health access solution that enables each person to easily view, share and manage their health data across their own unique care journey and among the many persons in their circle of care in a secured digital environment.
What our team is working on
Canadians want to manage their own health and wellness care journey. This project aims to empower Canadians through the creation of a scalable and trustworthy health access platform that enables each person to utilize a strong digital identity to easily view, share and manage their own health data in a private, secure and informed manner — easy for patients and trustworthy for providers. The BC Children's Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) TrustSphere Pilot will focus on helping pediatric T1D patients to connect families, caregivers and clinicians to improve patient-centered care for children with diabetes.
The BC Children’s Hospital Care Hub app, developed for the TrustSphere Pilot, will apply open standards and a co-operative governance model that will allow users to easily and securely share confidential information through online health-care services, in compliance with the highest health care and public standards for privacy protection. Patients and parents of young children will control the sharing and access to the information they deem sensitive and will be able to choose what data can be shared with whom, for what purpose, when, where and for how long.
Patients will benefit from better health care and easier access to fulsome health information that will provide cost-efficient and effective care, eliminate duplication, reduce gaps and improve overall care quality.
Health ministries, health-care organizations and hospitals will be able to harness the power of digital health and reap the benefits of improved information, tools, risk management and fewer operational challenges getting information.
