A marketplace built on a measurable clinical problem
CareChain addresses one of the most expensive and politically visible failures in Canadian healthcare: specialty wait-times that have grown for three decades.
The case at a glance
73-147
days the average Canadian waits for specialty care
85%
of spine patients triaged off the wait-list in the published MUHC pathway
4 vs 27
weeks to assessment, before and after the pathway
The problem
Specialty wait-times in Canada have grown by 200 to 500 percent since 1993. The leading cause is over-referral without triage support, not a shortage of specialists.
The mechanism
CareChain gives triage to the providers who can scale it: the allied health providers already embedded in communities. AI-supported decision tools help them treat, refer, or route to self-management.
The market
Patients, physicians, allied health providers, specialists, and health systems each have a reason to be on the platform. Health systems are the largest revenue lever, with hospitals and regional authorities buying at scale.
