=== Phase 1: Initiation & Stakeholder Engagement - Completed ===  

During the initiation and stakeholder engagement phase, we will be finalizing work plans and obtaining approvals. We will then be identifying the requirements for product labels for NHPs as per the Food and Drug Act under natural health product regulations and guidance documents. A collaboration with ROEB programs will be required to apply data from inspection processes requiring label reviews. This will include the health program appliance to understand the inspection process, as well as the information recorded for compliance verifications or the compliance-monitoring project that would require label review, and the Border Integrity Program to understand the border inspection process, with the labeling review undertaken for NHPs reviewed at the border.

There will be a co-creation with BREAD, BSFO and IMSD to ensure the project aligns with the departmental approach for potential scalability.

=== Phase 2: Business Analysis and Functional Requirements (The Discovery Phase) - Completed ===  

During the business analysis and Functional requirements phase, the business processes will be mapped for label reviews within ROEB, including the output required for the completion of the inspection specific to each group. Functional requirements will be identified; those of which would be required for the MVP for use in the field. During this process BRD and SRD will be developed and reviewed.

=== Phase 3: Development (Agile process) ===  

During this phase, economies of speed will be used to procure professional service(s) that are able to identify the model required to test feasibility of a solution that is able to conduct functions. These functions include text scanning, with image and video analysis capabilities of 3D objects having varying predictive capabilities based on angular projections, and automation of real-time review and assessment of product labels using artificial intelligence enabled by predictive insight, with information from acute and legacy data. Proof of concept will be developed, which will be used to demonstrate features required for an MVP.

=== Stream 1 ===  

The scope of the 8Ball Project in Stream 1 is to develop the model, or a preliminary proof of concept that has demonstrable features that would be required for a horizontally designed Minimum Viable Product (MVP). IMSD will play a pivotal role in providing support and guidance to the vendor and ensure backend compatibility to Health Canada infrastructure.

The 8ball mobile application tool will provide digital photos, translations and the conversion of images, printed text or handwritten into machine encoded text (Optical Character Recognition (OCR)) in real time. Inspectors will be able to capture images of a product and with OCR the tool will cross-reference it to the frequently updated Hotlist Ingredient List (see images 5&6 in appendix 1). The mobile tool will provide live translations of English, French, and other languages to verify compliance against labelling requirements and the Hotlist Ingredient List. Consumer Product Safety (CPS) has at least 16 regulations that include specific labelling requirements with pre-defined text specified. Labels would be scanned, and the existing text would be compared to the regulatory requirements. The process output would identify the deficiencies (view process flow below in appendix 1). Additionally, pending co-operation of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers, the application will be offered to the CBSA officers to be used on a voluntary basis to help focus on providing improved referrals to Health Canada.

===== Stream 2 =====

=== Stream 2 ===

In the final stage of the project will assess if the MVP is appropriate for enterprise release. If appropriate, the project would seek to secure funding to scale accordingly via the Investment Plan process. The project will take an inclusive approach with both inputs and outputs, critical to perpetuate innovation. The tool will provide a voluntary sign-up-based platform for Canadians to access outreach information such as recalls and alerts of consumer products, consultations, reports, etc.
