Phyxable – a world-class virtual care provider – and its partners, Micron Digital and Wizcraft Design Build Inc., have been selected by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) as one of five Canadian companies to contribute to its “Health Beyond Initiative” for 2023.
By initiating a leading role in deep-space healthcare innovation, Canada can position itself on the international stage as a pioneer in the delivery of remote healthcare and, thereby, in the development of resources and technologies that can be used in deep space and in remote or rural areas on Earth. Healthcare strategies and technologies developed to support crew members on deep-space missions could be used to empower healthcare providers serving those in remote regions. Considering the needs of healthcare delivery in deep space and remote regions are in many ways comparable, it can be expected that their solutions will likely overlap. The lessons learned from healthcare projects in deep space can be adapted to remote healthcare delivery for underserved populations. These healthcare innovations have the potential to be radically transformative for national healthcare delivery, lowering costs, and improving health outcomes for all.
