Submit a Health Technology Proposal
The Health Innovation Pathway is a new process to bring promising innovations into Ontario’s health system faster – improving patient outcomes, driving economic growth and helping our health system reach its full potential.
How the Health Innovation Pathway Works
The pathway facilitates the evaluation and scaled adoption of promising health technologies, supported by:
- an easy-to-access single point of contact and clear process to introduce innovative technologies for potential procurement
- a dedicated customer service team helping companies and other partners navigate the process, with advisory support at every step
- a streamlined, expedited assessment of the technology and its feasibility for provincial adoption
- a broad and connected clinical network, creating more opportunities for innovators to align solutions with health system needs
- a Health Technology Accelerator Fund to generate evidence for new health technologies to support provincial adoption
Eligible Technologies
Technologies in scope for this process include:
- medical devices
- digital health technologies
- medical and surgical procedures
- medical imaging and screening programs
- lab testing and genetic testing
- complex health system interventions, such as models of health care delivery
Technologies must have received relevant regulatory approvals (for example, Health Canada) demonstrating safety and/or risk mitigation. Technologies must be at technology readiness level 8 or higher, indicating the technology is complete and meets operational requirements.
The following technologies are out of scope: pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, health information systems, health human resources and health infrastructure.
Submit a Technology Proposal
Anyone can submit a technology proposal to the Health Innovation Pathway. We welcome applications from companies, innovators, clinicians, health service providers, patients, researchers, government and agency partners, supply chain partners and more.
When you submit a technology proposal through the pathway’s intake form, the Health Innovation Pathway team will review the proposal for completeness and follow up with you to advise on next steps.
