TrustSphere is developing a new platform called the BC Children's Hospital Care Hub.

The BC Children's Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) TrustSphere Pilot will assess the ability of the BC Children's Hospital Care Hub to provide the benefits of data-driven health care, in the hopes that it will empower patients to improve how they manage their health, wellness and care journey. The platform will allow users to easily and securely share confidential information through online health-care services, in compliance with rigorous health-care industry and public standards of privacy protection. Patients will control the sharing and access to the information they deem sensitive and will be able to choose what data can be shared with whom, for what purpose, when, where and for how long. Patients will benefit from better health care and easier access to fulsome health information that will provide cost-efficient and effective care, eliminate duplication, reduce gaps and improve overall care quality. Health ministries, health-care organizations and hospitals will be able to harness the power of digital health and reap the benefits of improved information, tools, risk management and fewer operational challenges for getting information. The pilot phase will start with children in B.C. with Type 1 diabetes (TID) with the goal of expanding to the rest of B.C. and Canada. The next phase will bring in other patient clinical groups and include expansion to markets outside Canada over time.
