The MOSAIC Study is a province-wide initiative bringing together experts in cardiology, genomics, imaging, and artificial intelligence.

MOSAIC: Bringing Precision Heart Care to All

About Us

Led by Dr. Teresa Tsang, MOSAIC is a collaborative initiative to change how cardiac care is delivered across BC. We build on proven research and tools from our team, integrating AI, echocardiography, genomics, and clinical expertise to support earlier risk detection and better treatment decisions — wherever patients receive care.

Our core team is based at Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and Vancouver General Hospital, and works closely with clinicians, researchers, and community partners throughout the region.

We are creating a secure, high-quality dataset that reflects the diversity of the peoples and communities we serve. Our goal is simple: more timely, equitable cardiac care for every patient, in every setting.

Mission & Values

Our Mission

Our mission is simple but bold: to deliver personalized heart health for every community. We believe that everyone — regardless of geography or heritage — should benefit from the latest breakthroughs in science and medicine, and we are building the technology and processes to help make this happen.

What We Do

  • Integrate world-class science: We combine whole-genome sequencing, echocardiography, and clinical data to build the most complete picture of heart health in British Columbia.
  • Develop AI-driven tools: Advanced analytics will help us detect risks earlier and guide more personalized treatment decisions.
  • Create a secure research resource: We are building a province-wide platform that empowers researchers and clinicians to generate discoveries and deliver real-world impact.
  • Translate research into care: Our ultimate goal is not just discovery, but better outcomes for patients, families, and communities across BC.

Our Values

  • Collaboration: Working across hospitals, health authorities, universities, and communities to achieve more together.
  • Innovation: Harnessing genomics, imaging, and AI to transform cardiovascular care.
  • Equity: Extending the benefits of precision medicine to rural, remote, underserved and Indigenous communities.
  • Trust: Safeguarding your information through proven privacy protections, secure systems and responsible data use
