Why

Ever downloaded the latest health app or purchased a new wearable device and thought, "I love this, but…"

Help shape digital health technologies.

Too often, innovations lack a direct line of sight to the target consumer immediate concerns.

This is why we created IDEATE Alberta. By turning the tables on innovation and bringing the consumer to the center of product design, IDEATE strives to help Albertan companies gain valuable insights while enabling the public to meaningfully contribute to tech & innovation.

With the end users and the community at the forefront and the IDEATE team in your corner, your vision for the future of health technology is within reach!
