Canadian Space Agency: New Funding Tool from Health Beyond

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on June 28, 2021 in Announcements

The Health Beyond team at Canadian Space Agency is working to catalyze the transformation of remote healthcare in service of medically-isolated communities here in Canada, with an eye towards future missions to deep space. To this end, the team is looking to engage, inspire and empower non-governmental actors in the development of solutions. One of the tools being developed for this is a Challenge Prize, which will reward innovators who can develop effective solutions for remote healthcare.

Challenge Prizes take time to develop, and the team needs to ensure that the final product is one that will indeed inspire and enable real innovation in this space. To do this, the team is looking for feedback and input from innovators, organizations and academics who are working on healthcare technologies. If you or your network would like to support the development of this Challenge, please visit the website for more details and to provide your feedback.

Any questions or additional input on the Deep Space Healthcare Challenge can be directed to asc.defisante-healthchallenge.csa@canada.ca.
