IDEATEAlberta

Advancing Technology With You.

Innovative Digital Engagement and Tech Evaluation in Alberta (IDEATE) or IDEATEAlberta engages potential consumers and investors for valuable feedback on digital-health-enabled technologies such as mobile applications and wearables.

Alberta Innovates created this program to raise awareness and put potential consumers at the centre of digital technology and innovation development.

Why

Have you ever downloaded the latest app or purchased a new wearable device to have your immediate response, "I love this, but"?

Help shape digital health technologies.

So much innovation is created without a clear, direct line of sight to the ideal user's immediate concerns. ​Other times, availability of funding limits how much is allocated to product validation and design. Or it can be as simple as innovators not having access to diverse populations to pilot their products.​

This is why we created IDEATEAlberta. Through our platform, we hope to bring everyone into the same space. For members of the public, IDEATEAlberta allows you to meaningfully contribute to tech & innovation by evaluating and reviewing emerging products. And for product developers, we hope to help you gain valuable insights into future client markets (for free) while having the opportunity to showcase your product to investors.​
