A connected healthcare community

for complete patient care

Our mission is to create healthcare system efficiency and improve coordination across healthcare teams to achieve the best patient outcomes possible while respecting and protecting the confidentiality of private information.

We acknowledge the traditional lands, meeting grounds, gathering places, and traveling routes of the Indigenous Peoples who lived, live, and cared or care for the lands we are honoured and grateful to call home.

Most of us at Brightsquid live and work on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations), and the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

Life gets better for everyone when we all work together. We respect, celebrate, and support Indigenous cultural identities for the strength and wisdom they contribute to our greater whole and for their right to live in self-determination, free from discrimination and oppression.

Here's how 'Brightsquid' means 'better health data sharing'

From enabling secure and fast communication of health data to simplifying clinic operations and offering the most complete privacy consulting for your practice, we are here to help you optimize the delivery of quality patient care.

Brightsquid was founded in 2009 by a pediatric radiologist, a lawyer, and a leading lab executive.

Our motivation?
We realized that the system was not set up to support efficient patient-centered, team-based care. Silos and fragmentation limit access to information and delay care. The old ways of doing things weren’t working with today’s demands on the healthcare community and the system was showing the strain.

We built Secure-Mail around common clinic workflows to connect the entire circle of care – including patients and their care-givers – in one place.
