The Alberta Medical Device Innovation Consortium (A-MEDICO) is a pan-Alberta network of researchers, industry, and healthcare stakeholders poised to reorganize, reinvigorate, and redefine Alberta’s medical device sector. Access to timely and effective healthcare continues to be a challenge to the approximately 1 million Albertans living in rural and remote settings, as well as other underserved populations including the aging, Indigenous communities, women and children. Many of our current medical device technologies are not appropriate for underserved populations because they are costly, cannot be transported, or involve expensive instrumentation or biosafety requirements. A-MEDICO will address these needs by developing new medical technologies with the communities they will serve and implementing new, sustainable, accelerated access pathways for the adoption of transformative medical device technology solutions. We want to establish a strong network of community engagement teams to enable end-user centred solutions for different communities. Community engagement will be integral at each stage of this project. Our vision is for our industry partners to interweave with A-MEDICO through involvement with R&D projects, supporting training and upskilling initiatives, technology commercialization, and with community engagement. If you are interested in participating within our community, please email amedico@ucalgary.ca for more information.
