Network will transform Canada's image-guided therapy industry into a global leader by integrating artificial intelligence into imaging-based medical technologies The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, today announced an investment of $49 million into the Industry Consortium for Image-Guided Therapy (ICIGT), a pan-Canadian network led by Sunnybrook. "Canadians have long been at the forefront of exciting innovations in health and biosciences, and through the Strategic Innovation Fund we have brought together the best in the public and private sectors to find real health care solutions. Our investment in the ICIGT project is helping to leverage Canada's strengths in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and image-guided therapies to ultimately deliver better health care for Canadians across the country," says Bains. The network of 70 private and public sector partners will invest more than an additional $76 million, for a total project value of $126 million. It will transform Canada's image-guided therapy sector into a global leader by integrating artificial intelligence and data advances into medical technologies that use imaging to treat, diagnose and monitor disease.
