The Canadian Dental Research Institute (CDRI) and Bloqcube® Inc. are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding, to extend Bloqcube’s AI-enabled, blockchain-driven platform into CDRI’s ADDRx Certification Mark initiative. The aim is to bring secure, verifiable digital records to every step of a dental patient’s care, advancing equity and trust in oral health. In doing so, the partners will build robust knowledge mobilization and implementation tools for all dental care stakeholders: patients, clinicians, payers and regulatory bodies.
The collaboration will apply Bloqcube’s technology to the dental patient journey. Each hand-off, from the dentist to specialist referrals and the dental laboratory, and back to the chair, will be captured as a secure, time-stamped record, so that what was planned and prescribed can be confirmed as what was delivered. AI-enabled tools will help clinicians and laboratories spot gaps, reduce errors and cut administrative delays. The goal is that every patient, wherever they are treated and however their care is funded, benefits from the same transparent and verifiable standard of care, with privacy built in from the outset.
The collaboration also strengthens oral health research in Canada. As Bloqcube joins CDRI’s CIE-MHCC, its clinical trials platform will become available, through CDRI’s network, to oral health researchers and health institutions across Québec and Canada, supporting secure, efficient and well-documented clinical studies.
The program will advance in phases: aligning objectives and mapping clinical and laboratory workflows; piloting and refining the solution in a sandbox environment; and, with additional ecosystem partners, a staged implementation across Canada, the United States and other key markets.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to raising the standards of dental care by uniting clinical research expertise with trusted digital infrastructure, with benefits that extend well beyond the clinic.
