When Shazia Naz Subhani founded Can.Indigo Solutions Inc., she set out with a bold and clear vision: to leverage her 20+ years of expertise in IT healthcare and research to develop groundbreaking digital solutions. Having spent over a decade delivering cutting-edge web-based solutions for some of Saudi Arabia's most prestigious institutions, Shazia returned to Canada driven by a mission to make a meaningful impact at home. Her goal? To transform IT solutions through innovative, integrated, and centralized systems, user-focused designs, and globally accessible platforms, all while encouraging partnerships built on trust, collaboration, and shared success.
Shazia's career is nothing short of remarkable. Over two decades in Saudi Arabia, she spearheaded numerous high-impact, hospital-based, regional, and national projects, one of which is the Saudi National Diabetes Registry, which had an integrated geographical information system to map diabetes prevalence for evidence-based public health strategies. Design and development of a web-based Saudi National Diabetes Registry earned her recognition from prestigious organizations.
As a project manager for a Saudi flagship initiative under Vision 2030, namely the Saudi Human Genome Program, Shazia contributed to the development of a national web-based genomics registry which allowed national research labs to collaborate effortlessly in the research of genomics data, resulting in credible publications and a model for personalized medicine in Saudi Arabia. Another remarkable contribution as the key player in the Center for Genomics Medicine at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center is the integration of patient data with genomic results, accessible through centralized hospital-based systems, setting a new standard for personalized medicine in the region. Her expertise in clinical informatics, coupled with a knack for developing robust, scalable IT solutions, laid the foundation for her next chapter: establishing Can.Indigo Solutions Inc.
At its core, this company embodies Shazia's passion for innovation and accessibility. The company's offerings include a suite of customizable, cutting-edge solutions designed to address real-world challenges across industries. One of them is KARAMeD, a modeled telemedicine app available free of charge for immediate download on Android (Google Play), with an iOS version coming soon. Created to bring healthcare closer to patients, KARAMeD facilitates virtual consultations across borders. Prioritizing accessibility, the app is highly customizable to meet the unique requirements of healthcare and research organizations. Shazia envisions a future where healthcare providers globally adopt KARAMeD to deliver consultations through their online presence, promoting equity, accessibility, and compassion in medical care.
Shazia's approach is rooted in her passion for harmonizing systems. "Our approach is all about creating comprehensive, harmonized, integrated, and centralized solutions that facilitate efficiency and scalability." The motivational mantra, "Together we can," encapsulates her belief in collaboration as the key to achieving transformative results.
While Can.Indigo Solutions has already established its strong presence in Oman by partnering with major organizations in different industries, Shazia is eager to expand her professional network in Canada. She seeks collaborators, possible co-founders, and clients who share her vision of using IT to drive efficiency and accessibility. "I want to work with healthcare organizations, ministries, and private companies who are willing to embrace innovative, centralized solutions," she says. "From customizing KARAMeD to meet the unique needs of hospitals, private clinics, or health organizations and integrating it with existing in-house systems, to tailoring CRM and ERP solutions, the possibilities are truly limitless."
For Shazia, this company is more than a business; it's a mission to bridge gaps and improve lives. Inspired by personal experiences, she is passionately committed to creating solutions that ensure timely access to medical care, leveraging the power of technology in today's digital age.
Shazia is passionately dedicated to working toward data governance. She asserts, "Secure, centralized data sharing can unlock the potential for evidence-based decision-making and drive faster, more effective interventions. My goal is to create systems that prioritize data privacy while empowering organizations to thrive." Reaffirming her commitment, she adds, "At Can.Indigo Solutions, we do not store client data. Our mission is to provide robust tools that enable organizations to manage their data securely and independently."
Ms. Subhani is demonstrating that with the right tools, expertise, dedication, and strategic partnerships, the possibilities are limitless. As she continues to expand her company's impact, her message resonates loud and clear: "If you are ready to embark on a transformative digital journey, Can.Indigo Solutions is here to assist you every step of the way. Together, we will pave the path to your success!"
