L2M-L6 Miiya

Aivida Inc. is a Winnipeg-based health technology company developing Miiya, an AI-powered Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that helps physicians make faster, more informed decisions at the point of care. Miiya works by searching trusted medical knowledge sources, such as UpToDate and Merck Manual, in real time and surfacing relevant, cited recommendations during a patient encounter, so physicians spend less time looking things up and more time focused on the patient in front of them. This project will advance Miiya from its current prototype stage toward a deployable, market-ready product by tackling three interconnected challenges. First, the intern will build the core AI pipeline that connects Miiya to medical knowledge bases, ensuring every recommendation it generates is traceable to a verified source. Second, the intern will implement the security and compliance infrastructure, audit logging, access controls, and data governance, required for Health Canada’s Class II Medical Device approval, which is a mandatory step before any hospital can formally adopt the platform. Third, the intern will design and build a mobile-first version of Miiya through direct, iterative collaboration with physicians at Health Sciences Centre (HSC) Winnipeg, ensuring the tool fits naturally into how clinicians actually work rather than adding to their burden. The expected benefit to Aivida is significant: by the end of the project, the company will have a technically capable, compliance-ready, and physician-validated platform positioned for its first institutional deployment at HSC, unlocking its path to Health Canada approval, enterprise contracts, and commercial scale across Canadian healthcare institutions.
