FEDERATION BY DESIGN
Canada's largest federated data network.
Built by CanPath and Lifebit to enable secure, federated access to population health data across Canada.
Canada’s largest federated data network,
built by CanPath & Lifebit.
Lifebit and the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (CanPath) have established a national framework that helps researchers collaborate across institutions while data stays secure and under local control — hosted in Canadian cloud environments.
The Partnership
A national federated platform for Canadian research.
CanPath and Lifebit have joined forces to give researchers, data custodians, and partners secure access to 350,000+ Canadian participants across nine provincial cohorts — without ever moving a byte of data outside its protected environment.
01
Secure federated data access
Compute moves to data — data never leaves the institution. Built on the most advanced federated architecture in the industry.
02
National cohort discovery
Browse and query 350,000+ participants across BC GEN, Alberta’s Tomorrow Project, Healthy Future Sask, Manitoba Tomorrow Project, Ontario Health Study, CARTaGENE, and Atlantic PATH.
03
Privacy-preserving research infrastructure
ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP and Five Safes — privacy controls and Airlock egress built in, not bolted on.
04
Powered by CanPath cohorts & Lifebit technology
Canada’s national TRE — for Canadian scientists, by Canadian scientists. AI-assisted OMOP harmonisation in hours, not months.
Your data stays in your cloud.
CanPath & Lifebit federated AI technology brings compute to data — across Canadian institutions and clouds — without ever moving a byte outside its protected environment.
Federation
Query data across Canadian institutions. Data never leaves its protected provincial environment.
Harmonization
AI-assisted mapping to OMOP across all CanPath cohorts. Hours, not months.
Sovereign AI
Run analyses, train models, export only governed results — for Canadian scientists, by Canadian scientists.
