The mHealth and eHealth Development and Innovation Centre (MEDIC) Technology Access Centre (TAC) has generated more than $9M in private and other revenue, and completed 1,100+ projects, services, and training contracts for small- and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs), provincial health organizations, and non-government organizations (NGOs). For its second term, MEDIC will use its expertise in digital health standards and software development to respond to the increased market demand for virtual care that has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. A May 2020 survey found 74% of Canadians are considering virtual healthcare, and already, 50% of physician visits can be done virtually. The increased demand for virtual care and the need to build interoperability across new and existing software solutions to meet this demand represents a significant market opportunity for MEDIC during its next term. To further expand its capacity to serve clients, MEDIC will integrate deeply with Mohawk Colleges Medical Technologies Innovation Centre (MTIC), including its Centre for Healthcare Simulation. Located at the School of Health, MTICs expertise in investigating the impact of technology on patient outcomes, performing clinical practices, training and certifying medical technicians, will complement MEDICs services offerings. There are more than 1,300 digital health companies in Ontario who employ more than 26,000 people and earn nearly $13 billion in annual revenue, with exports totaling $1.45 B. Digital health spending as a portion of global health care spending is forecasted to increase from 3 to 8% by 2030. MEDIC will continue to support the sector growth.

MHealth和EHealth Development and Innovation Center（Medic）技术访问中心（TAC）为私人和其他收入产生了超过900万美元的收入，并完成了1,100多个项目，服务和中小型企业（SMES），省级卫生组织，省级卫生组织以及非政府组织（NGOS）的项目，服务和培训合同。在其第二学期中，医生将利用其在数字健康标准和软件开发方面的专业知识来响应COVID-19大流行加速的虚拟护理市场需求的增加。 2020年5月的一项调查发现，加拿大人中有74％正在考虑虚拟医疗保健，并且实际上可以进行50％的医师访问。对虚拟护理的需求增加，以及在新的和现有的软件解决方案上建立互操作性以满足这一需求的需求，这是医生在下一期内的重要市场机会。为了进一步扩大其为客户提供服务的能力，医生将与Mohawk Colleges Medical Technologies Innovation Center（MIT）深入集成，包括其医疗保健模拟中心。 MTICS位于卫生学院，在调查技术对患者结果的影响，进行临床实践，培训和认证医疗技术人员的影响方面将得到补充医务人员服务的产品。安大略省有1,300多家数字保健公司，他们雇用了26,000多名员工，并赚取了近130亿美元的年收入，出口总额为1.45加元。数字健康支出是全球医疗保健支出的一部分，预计到2030年将从3％增加到8％。
