Turning health innovations into reality

An investment of more than $6 million through Alberta Innovates will give innovators access to resources to improve patient care and outcomes. The funding is being delivered through Stage 2 of Alberta Innovates’ Health Innovation Platform Partnerships program, which will support three projects that will deliver the platforms, infrastructure, tools and resources Alberta’s innovators need to test, develop and accelerate new health innovations and technologies.

One of the successful projects is the Alberta Diagnostics Ecosystem Platform for Translation (ADEPT), a provincewide partnership between the University of Alberta, University of Calgary, the Alberta Precision Exchange (APEX), Alberta Precision Laboratories and DynaLIFE Medical Laboratories. ADEPT will receive a total of $3 million to establish three living laboratories where Alberta’s innovators can test new diagnostic technologies. The living labs will be co-located in facilities run by Alberta Precision Laboratories and DynaLIFE medical labs in Calgary and Edmonton.
