The Rideau Hall Foundation has announced the 2021 winners of the Governor General’s Innovation Awards. This year, six individuals and groups have secured the honour, including two key members of Canadian healthtech startups.
This year’s list of recipients includes Sheila Wang, co-founder and chief medical officer of Toronto-based healthtech startup Swift Medical, for her creation of Swift’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered remote wound care monitoring solution. The company’s mobile app captures and shares high-precision wound images from home.
