Joining MOSAIC is simple and designed to fit into your regular care
Step 1
Share your heart data
Your recent echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) helps us understand your heart structure and function.
Step 2
Complete a short survey online
Your health journey and family history gives important context to your heart data.
Step 3
Provide a single blood sample
Your blood molecules and DNA will be studied alongside your imaging and health data to better understand what impacts your health.
That’s it. Just 3 easy steps – no extra procedures, no added appointments.
From there, we take care of the rest. Our part in MOSAIC will be to de-identify and securely store your data, use advanced computing to find patterns that typical care can miss, and develop new tests, new treatments and earlier care.
Together, we can build a future where heart disease is detected earlier and care is personalized, so you and your community can live healthier, longer lives.
MOSAIC: Bringing Precision Heart Care to All
Better Heart Care, Closer to Home
Heart disease affects people everywhere, but not everyone has the same access to care. MOSAIC is working to make heart care both personalized and easy to access—wherever you live. We bring together heart ultrasound, blood tests, genetics, and clinical information, then use secure, advanced computing to find new patterns that typical care can miss.
The goal is simple: earlier answers and better-fitting tests and treatments, available at the point of care, from big city hospitals to rural communities and remote clinics.
Participation is straightforward, involving just one extra blood draw, with strong privacy protections and support from our team at every step.

Join thousands of people across British Columbia who are helping us build a healthier future for every community.
The MOSAIC Study is working to improve how we detect, prevent, and treat heart disease — especially in communities that have been underserved or face barriers to care. By combining heart imaging, genetics, and other health information, we aim to create more personalized ways to understand and manage heart health.
We’re inviting 8,000 participants from diverse backgrounds — including rural, urban, and Indigenous communities — to take part when they come for a clinically indicated echocardiogram at one of 18 hospital-based echo labs across our province.
Can I join MOSAIC?
You can participate if you:
- Are 19 years of age or older
- Are scheduled to have, or have had within the past 90 days, a medically ordered echocardiogram in British Columbia
- Can provide informed consent
What is an echocardiogram?
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. It is different from an electrocardiogram, also called an ECG or EKG. Having only an ECG or EKG does not qualify you for MOSAIC.
Important timing
You must complete the study bloodwork within 90 days before or after your echocardiogram.
You do not need:
- a diagnosed heart condition; or
- an abnormal echocardiogram result.
There are no additional study-specific exclusion criteria.
Not sure whether you are eligible? Contact the MOSAIC team with questions about participating.
Together, we can develop better tools for early prevention, diagnosis, and treatment — and build a future where every community and every heart are cared for.
