WIHV & The National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program
WIHV advises small to medium sized digital and virtual health enterprises on how their advances in technology can be used across our health care system. Supported by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP), we provide guidance on:
- Whether a tool is clinically valid and how it could be integrated within the healthcare system.
- Potential customers and relevant stakeholders.
- Clinical, institutional and governmental priorities that could have an impact.
- Evaluation methodologies and how to generate an appropriate base of evidence.
- Existing opportunities to spread and scale tools across the health care system.
To pitch your ideas to a team of clinicians, researchers, policy, health system and business experts, you must:
- Be an incorporated, for-profit company
- Operate in Canada
- Have less than 500 employees
- Have at least one non-business owner on your payroll
- Operate in the digital or virtual health space
