Health City was established in the fall of 2018 as a Canadian not-for-profit corporation that works with numerous stakeholders to develop new pathways of care that can drive better health outcomes and economic development in the health sector. Data, artificial intelligence, and extended reality are technology platforms in healthcare that are highlighted in the context of Health City Initiatives presented here. Health City's future area of focus in addressing challenges in procurement for health innovations is also discussed as a new approach that connects the health industry to healthcare. Health City has been an active stakeholder in health innovation in Edmonton and will continue to focus on developing a global niche and owning that space through meaningful partnerships and impactful projects. This will drive improved health outcomes and economic development for the Edmonton region and Canada that can be scaled globally.
