A New Healthcare Pilot Project Aims to Utilize Technology Developed for the Canadian Space Agency to Improve Care for Residents on the Waiting List for a Family Doctor
With over 20,000 people in Montreal’s West Island awaiting a family doctor, the CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Ile-de-Montréal is launching a pilot project that leverages cutting-edge technology initially designed for the Canadian Space Agency to enhance healthcare services. This innovative approach will enable early identification of medical conditions requiring attention among individuals on the waiting list.

Yesterday, Canadian astronaut and physician David Saint-Jacques, CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Ile-de-Montréal CEO Dan Gabay, and Baüne CEO Andrea Galindo came together to introduce the pioneering project in Montreal’s West Island. Baüne is the company behind the development of the revolutionary technology.
Montréal health authority CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Ile-de-Montréal hopes to utilize technology originally designed to aid astronauts in monitoring their health in space to provide improved care for people awaiting a family doctor.
According to Dan Gabay, CEO of the CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Ile-de-Montréal, the new system aims to differentiate between patients who may seem healthy and those who may have undetected conditions that require attention before they worsen.
“We want to use this technology to determine who’s healthy and who might not be, in order to provide enhanced care and reassurance for those in need. Ultimately, patients on the waiting list without a family doctor will be able to benefit from half-yearly screenings."
The technology developed by Baüne uses an at-home kiosk system, equipped with sensors and screening tools that collect data on vital signs and other indicators of patient health. Baüne is an Edmonton-based company recognized for adapting its digital health platform from space to a clinical setting on Earth.
Dan Gabay’s goals for the system focus on improving access to regular health reviews for those without a family doctor; increasing the efficiency and capacity of existing healthcare professionals; and allowing for early interventions – preventing long-term complications through proactive healthcare strategies.
The pilot project is starting in Montreal’s West Island, with more than 20,000 people on the waiting list for a family doctor, and is planned to expand to other regions. A single test kiosk is located at the CLSC de Pierrefonds.
Canadian astronaut and physician, David Saint-Jacques, emphasized the benefits of technology transfer from space to healthcare, and shared valuable insights from astronaut health management that are now applied to ground-based care: "This experience means patients on Earth benefit from these innovations.”
Saint-Jacques believes that medical innovation often has greatest benefits for elementary care not in exceptional missionary systems but for the every-day quality care of Earth patients.
Baüne CEO Andrea Galindo explained why she is confident that her company’s kiosk system offers significant improvements: “Comprehensive screening helps in providing good quality service and gives firm body statistics, not solely according metrics one medical device produces. Furthermore, the union of diverse/derrivative medical datasets today, no longer occurs in sterile isolation. Coconnectivity further reduces barriers inherent to structural risk-division inside the Canadian medicare federal healthcare product range."
