For patients, by Unum Co.

Your voice belongs in rooms where decisions get made.

Collective connects patients and caregivers across Canada to opportunities that need this your real, lived experience expertise. You stay in control. We do the heavy lifting.

A community of patients shaping the future of healthcare in Canada.

Pharma, biotech, and health tech companies want to hear from patients. The trouble is, finding you is harder than it should be. Recruitment gets caught in red tape, timelines slip, and the same few voices end up speaking for everyone.

We're changing that. Collective is a curated, opt-in community of patients across Canada who want their stories, insights, and lived experience to shape the products, services, and decisions that affect their lives.

How it works.

01

You opt in

Tell us about your health journey, what you'd like to be matched on, and how you prefer to be contacted. Your profile is yours to update or remove anytime.

02

We curate the match

When a healthcare company comes to us with a research opportunity, we vet the brief and only reach out to patients whose experience genuinely fits. No spam, no fishing.

03

You decide

You choose whether to say yes to any opportunity. The company handles their own contracts, consent, and compensation. We make sure you have what you need to feel confident before saying yes.

Our promise

What you can count on from us.

This community only works if it feels safe, respected, and worth being part of. Here's what we commit to.

Only relevant opportunities

We surface what fits what you've told us about yourself. Saying no is always okay and never affects future matches.

Vetted partners only

Every pharma brief gets reviewed before reaching you. If something feels extractive or unclear, it doesn't get through.

Fair compensation, advocated

We don't set the rates, but we advocate for them and we'll be honest about what's offered before you commit.

Closing the loop

When you contribute, we share back what came of it. You should know your voice mattered, not just hope it did.

Community beyond research

Conversations, events, connection. The community keeps going whether or not an opportunity is on the table right now.
