Research
Healthcare is a data-driven system, relying on strong evidence to make informed decisions for patients, providers, and partners. Without evidence the system trusts, even a strong health tech product may stall at the front door.
CORE Innovation's Research team bridges this gap.
Our mission is to support innovators at any stage of product development to rigorously evaluate their technology in real-world healthcare settings, from early product discovery to clinical trials.
Whether you are an innovator inside the health system, or a company without a research arm of your own, we guide you through the research process and help you gather real-world data from patients, clinicians and hospital partners. That's the evidence that can support evaluation, decision-making, and adoption planning.
Who we support
You know your product best. We know how to move the needle on data-driven development.
Core Research can support you if you:
- Require clinical evidence to support your product roadmap
- Need third-party evaluation for your claims
- Want to ensure that what you are building meets the desired functionality from your users
- Need assistance navigating the healthcare research environment
Powered by the CHEO Research Institute
Your studies run inside real clinical care. The Research Bridge is powered by the CHEO Research Institute, the research engine of CHEO, and partnered with hospitals and institutes across Canada.
How it works
From idea to validated product
We make the research process transparent, and foster collaborations between innovators and health care partners. Core Research works with innovators to develop and conduct research projects that are:
- Scientifically rigorous
- Ethically compliant
- Commercially focused
Our services connect the dots for the innovator from idea to validated product. We work with the objectives and needs of the innovator at each stage, and tailor our support to move the product through the R&D cycle.
Dedicated Research Support begins at $5,000.
Services that support your journey
Stage 1
Preparation & Development (Pre-Study)
We set your project up for success. Working with you and the clinical and research partners, we:
- Develop your project roadmap
- Identify qualified investigators and partners
- Develop and prepare the trial master file
- Navigate institutional services, requirements and Research Ethics Boards
- Support site initiation and team training
Stage 2
Study Support & Facilitation
We facilitate and support ongoing research inside the healthcare environment:
- Oversight of research activities at clinical sites
- Coordination with clinicians, partners, sites and institutional services
- Support for compliant, efficient study execution
Stage 3
Post-Study Dissemination
Knowledge sharing is an integral part of research, and builds trust in the ecosystem. After completion of the study, we support dissemination:
- Final scientific and technical reports with findings and recommendations
- Product improvement and future direction guidance
- Peer-reviewed manuscripts and broader dissemination
