what IS this year's Competition theme?
Artificial Intelligence
Primary Care
Primary care is one of the cornerstones of Canadian healthcare, providing first-contact to the healthcare system and ongoing continuity of care for individual patients and their families.
Despite its critical role, primary care faces mounting challenges such as increasing patient load, clinician shortages, long wait times, and disparities in access – particularly in rural and remote communities. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into primary care has the potential to align with several key Canadian healthcare priorities.
The Healthcare Innovation Challenge invites you to explore how AI can redefine primary care in Canada.
