Health data in Canada is often fragmented, making it difficult to research outcomes, treatment effectiveness and patient experience. This DHIF project is exploring how to combine patient-reported data with clinician and health system data in a strong governance framework to preserve patient privacy.

For additional security, the project partners will use federated learning, so that only the computational tools travel; the data stay safely under institutional governance. Insights could improve treatment decisions, accelerating #precisionmedicine research without compromising patient privacy.

Quote: This initiative has the potential to unlock the power of data to drive efficiency, improve patient care and accelerate innovation within Canada.

The project will standardize hospital data to generate a synthetic dataset. Since this retains only clinical information and not personal details, it can be used to train AI tools and help analytical models learn, for valuable insight on treatment, diagnostic work ups, and patient outcomes.

Quote: Open and collaborative data ecosystems are essential to turning health data into better discoveries, better decisions, and better patient outcomes.

#AIweek2026 Today, as when Terry Fox faced osteosarcoma, surgeons have limited ways to know if all cancer has been removed. If cells are left behind, the disease can return. A DHIF project is developing AI-powered imaging to help surgeons know what tissue to remove. www.dhdp.ca/projects/pro...

Bryan Adams’ new song, The Ballad of Terry Fox, is a beautiful tribute to Terry’s perseverance, hope, and enduring legacy. Terry believed in the power of research to end the suffering caused by cancer. That belief continues to fuel the work we do today.
