加拿大投資數位健康數據基礎設施
Canada invests in digital health data infrastructure

自2026年6月起，加拿大正對其醫療保健部門進行重大轉型，將數位健康數據基礎設施列為其國家「AI for All（全民AI）」策略的基石。
As of June 2026, Canada is undergoing a significant transformation in its healthcare sector by prioritizing digital health data infrastructure as a cornerstone of its national 'AI for All' strategy.
多年來，加拿大醫療保健系統一直受困於零碎且過時的溝通方式，這些方式往往成為高效護理的阻礙。
For years, the Canadian healthcare system has struggled with fragmented and outdated communication methods, such as faxing, which often created barriers to efficient care.
為了解決這些系統性挑戰，政府宣布了2億美元的投資。
To address these systemic challenges, the government has announced a $200 million investment.
其中一半資金將用於啟動「健康部門數據空間（Health Sector Data Space）」，以標準化臨床研究的數據集；其餘的1億美元則用於將「VITAL健康數據平台」擴展至另外五個省份。
Half of this funding will launch the Health Sector Data Space to standardize datasets for clinical research, while the remaining $100 million will expand the VITAL health data platform to five additional provinces.
此外，《加拿大互聯護理法（Connected Care for Canadians Act）》（S-5法案）強制執行互操作性標準，確保患者紀錄能在不同系統間安全地共享。
Furthermore, the introduction of the Connected Care for Canadians Act (Bill S-5) mandates interoperability standards, ensuring that patient records can be securely shared across different systems.
透過將健康數據視為戰略性國家資產，政府旨在縮短候診時間、改善患者預後，並促進創新。
By treating health data as a strategic national asset, the government aims to shorten wait times, improve patient outcomes, and foster innovation.
關鍵在於，這些進展在隱私、公眾信任與道德AI整合之間取得了強有力的平衡，確保科技是為了輔助臨床決策而非取代它。
Crucially, these advancements are balanced with a strong commitment to privacy, public trust, and ethical AI integration, ensuring that technology serves to assist clinical decision-making rather than replace it.
這項現代化工作使加拿大有望成為數據驅動型醫療保健的領航者。
This modernization effort positions Canada to become a leader in data-driven healthcare.
