HomeScience

This initiative was launched in partnership with Communitech, a Canadian technology supercharger that connects startups and scale-ups with industry leaders to accelerate health innovation.

Together, we’ve supported solutions that address urgent healthcare needs today while laying the groundwork for a more resilient tomorrow.

About the Hub

By identifying key challenges in healthcare, Pfizer Canada collaborated with trusted partners in the startup ecosystem to provide:

  • Access to industry insights and internal expertise

  • Real-world use cases

  • Support to scale solutions from concept to launch

Recipients

In October 2023, Pfizer Canada and Communitech announced the tech and innovation startup winners and their respective proposal submissions. These were selected from an open call to help address key challenges in healthcare:

CANImmunizeA technology solution that helps healthcare providers navigate complex immunization guidelines to enhance both patient safety and the healthcare provider experience, ultimately improving vaccine awareness and uptake.PharmaGuideAn innovative patient portal, PharmaVision, that will use artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline the drug coverage processes – eventually predicting the coverage by an insurer, with the goal of promoting transparency, informed decision-making, and better patient care.Wave View ImagingA novel breast imaging medical device that could provide accessible, comfortable, and convenient breast imaging for women of all ages. The device will first deliver breast density assessments but has the potential to address a currently unmet clinical need for neoadjuvant treatment monitoring, allowing Oncologists to monitor tumour response in clinic.Our Commitment to Innovation

Pfizer Canada invested $1.4 million supporting these innovators, offering a mix of in-kind support and direct funding to help design, develop, and scale these solutions.

This investment reflects our belief in the power of digital health to redefine patient care in Canada.
