As it opened its new headquarters in downtown St. John’s on Monday, PolyUnity Tech announced a series of partnerships aimed at advancing healthcare innovation across Canada.

The company said Monday that it will collaborate with Fonemed, Polyamyna Nanotech, and the Genesis AI Garage, all based in St. John’s, to combine expertise in virtual care, antimicrobial materials, and artificial intelligence.

PolyUnity designs and manufactures medical products through its digital i3D.Health platform, which allows hospitals to design, approve, and 3D print items locally through a regulatory-compliant process.

“These collaborations showcase what’s possible when local innovation addresses global healthcare challenges,” said Stephen Ryan, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of PolyUnity. “By working together, we can help make healthcare safer and more effective.”

Through the new partnership, Fonemed will work on PolyUnity’s Virtual Care Pod and Mobile Care Kit – technologies designed in Newfoundland and Labrador for use in global healthcare markets. The products use locally produced antimicrobial materials and allow remote biometric assessments, including cardiac and pulmonary monitoring and imaging, enabling clinicians to diagnose and treat patients at a distance, the company said.

Fonemed is a virtual care company that provides around-the-clock nurse advice lines and telehealth solutions to clients across North America.

Polyamyna – which is developing antimicrobial and antiviral materials – is collaborating with PolyUnity to develop PolyAura, a new antimicrobial 3D printing filament that reduces bacterial presence by 99.9 percent on printed medical components, said PolyUnity. The material is being integrated into products such as device handles and workstations to improve infection control in healthcare environments.

The Genesis AI Garage – a new division of the innovation hub Genesis – will support PolyUnity’s use of artificial intelligence to streamline product design, manufacturing, and logistics. The partnership will focus on predictive analytics and automation to enhance efficiency and compliance in the company’s operations.

PolyUnity’s new headquarters marks a milestone for Newfoundland and Labrador’s health technology sector, which continues to expand its presence in national and international markets.
