Personalized Medicine Initiative

The Personalized Medicine Initiative (PMI) has the mission of implementing personalized medicine practices into the healthcare system in BC and beyond, while also taking advantage of preventive healthcare and commercialization opportunities. The PMI is a not-for-profit umbrella organization of personalized medicine stakeholders and resources in BC that is currently...

Translational Cancer Genomic Institute

Precision oncology is at the frontline of personalized medicine, leading the way in utilizing the molecular profile of an individual’s tumor to optimize cancer treatment and management. Cancer can be extensively characterized for mutations in order to maximize patient benefit by predicting tumor biology and treatment responsiveness. This forthcoming...

Telehealth for Emergency-Community Continuity of Care

Telehealth for Emergency-Community Continuity of Care Connectivity via Home-Telemonitoring (TEC4Home) evaluates the effectiveness and value of home telemonitoring for patients transitioning from the emergency department to community care at home. Using remote sensors, patients can monitor their health from the comfort of their homes and share information electronically with...

Inspire change

PHIX aims to inspire change and experimentation in health care. We see PHIX as a chance to improve collaboration across the research network, and facilitate system-wide change towards a more streamlined health care system.

Speed up adoption

It’s time to create products and services that serve patients better. Technology and treatment options sometimes get stalled at the implementation stage: PHIX believes it’s time to accelerate adoption.

Share the space

In proven environments of innovation, breakthroughs happen when collisions are allowed to occur between unconnected ideas. By creating a space designed for serendipitous encounters, we believe health innovation can flourish.

Global science breakthroughs on the Broadway corridor.

In an area pinpointed by the City of Vancouver for needed development, in a zone where advanced health and science facilities are already clustered, PHIX is ideally positioned to catalyze much-needed local collaboration.

Fueling the future of health innovation.

Canada has a long history of health innovations, from the creation of insulin, to the genetic engineer honoured as BC’s first Nobel Laureate. Imagine what we could do if we were collaborating properly together.

Here are some example projects that PHIX will be working on:

Personalized Medicine Initiative

Translational Cancer Genomic Institute

Telehealth for Emergency-Community Continuity of Care

Global growth needs a collaborative approach.

We envision PHIX as a project that triggers momentous change across traditional boundaries. It’s vital to start with a multidisciplinary approach.

We’re bringing together many different perspectives:

And people with experience and vision:

A more innovative health care system can start now.
