Email supportIDEATE is the online platform of the Alberta Digital Health Evaluation Resource Ecosystem (ADHERE) program, which is co-funded by Alberta Innovates and Prairies Economic Development Canada. The ADHERE program works with stakeholders to build capacity in Alberta for both valuation of products subject and not subject to Health Canada guidelines.
The IDEATE platform operates as a collaborative ecosystem designed to facilitate innovation and problem-solving within communities. Here’s how it works:
Health innovation should be accessible to all individuals. Collecting user feedback early and frequently in the product development process helps innovators create new health technologies that resonate with consumers (and investors), setting company founders up for commercial success.
- As an evaluator, you get early access to new technology and get to support small local businesses. Most importantly, you can ensure that your experiences are represented in product development and that emerging digital health technologies reflect your needs.
- As an investor, you can gain insights into innovation trends and be a first-to-the-table investor in products your care about.
- As a community member, IDEATE can be leveraged to bring attention to issues you care about. Through our challenge feature, you can make direct connections with changemakers in the health technology ecosystem and source funding to advance issues you care about.
Your IDEATE Alberta dashboard helps you keep track of the technologies and challenges you are interested in or are evaluating. You need to register on the platform to be able to follow products and community challenges
Thanks to the support of Prairies Canada and Alberta Innovates, registering and participating in the IDEATE program, using the platform, and additional innovator support provided by the IDEATE team is free of charge for all personas!
