At aiR, we recognize that addressing these obstacles requires a collaborative approach that involves engaged stakeholders across the entire healthcare ecosystem.
AI in CANADA
Shaping the Canadian Health AI Ecosystem
Commercial application of AI is a priority for the second phase of the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy, with investments totaling more than $550M. The healthcare sector presents opportunities for high societal impact to AI developers: contributing to earlier and more accurate diagnosis, advanced personalized care, increased confidence in decision-making, and improved patient outcomes.
However, further efforts are needed to shape the Canadian Health AI Ecosystem in order to achieve this great potential. aiR is working towards growing and prospering this ecosystem that sees innovations go efficiently from the laboratory to the bedside. This ecosystem will ultimately bridge the gap between scientific research and patient care by leveraging cutting-edge technology and data-driven solutions to accelerate the development and delivery of innovative therapies.

Ethical & Responsible AI
A growing number of people are contemplating whether they should invest in “Responsible AI” projects and solutions that tackle emerging technologies in an ethical manner.
It has become increasingly apparent that “Responsible AI” is more than just meeting regulatory standards. We must establish sustainable solutions that position the industry for success, ensuring that AI systems benefit the environment, society, employees, users, and those who receive AI solutions today and in the future.
aiR is taking steps to advance the global AI conversation and identify the resources, focus areas, prioritization considerations, and investments necessary to construct sustainable AI systems for the future. These discussions are fluid and constantly evolving, with no set standard for achieving ethical AI.

Case Study
COVID Long-Hauler Project
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, social media has been a valuable platform for sharing and discussing real-time experiences. This wealth of information can also be useful to researchers seeking to uncover insights into post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PACS), commonly known as Long COVID.
To tap into this resource, we propose using entity-extraction methods to provide clinical insights before defining downstream tasks. Our work aims to bridge the gap between state-of-the-art entity recognition models and the extraction of clinically relevant entities from Twitter data.
