Research

At the core of any research undertaking is data. We have more than 60 years’ worth of it.

With 60+ years of data across a broad spectrum of health conditions, MedicAlert is uniquely positioned to contribute to the growing body of Canadian-specific knowledge in health systems, health economics, and public health research. It is one of the primary reasons MedicAlert launched its research division in 2021.

Working with our academic partners from across the country, we are able to see patterns and changes in health data. This means that we can better understand the factors that determine population health, and in turn propose interventions and health policies based on scientific knowledge and evidence.

It also means that we can understand how people get access to health care services, how much care costs, and what happens to patients because of this care.

Currently, MedicAlert is collaborating with the following Canadian universities:
