Fast Track Health focuses on transforming the future of Canadian health care and removing barriers to health-care innovation.
In the Canadian health-care ecosystem, systemic and human barriers hinder innovation, impacting service delivery and patient outcomes. The slow, conservative process of bringing innovations to market often drives Canadian innovators to look at other markets globally.
Fast Track Health builds community and connections across the health-care ecosystem, bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise to define challenges and solve shared problems with trusted, homegrown solutions.
