Cancer Care Coordination: A Pilot Project

Emerging my previous research with BC Cancer Agency is the notion of care coordination, a fundamental component of supportive care. Care coordination is an approach to care that attends to the unique needs of patients from the time of diagnosis through treatment and beyond across the following domains: practical, family (relationships), emotional, spiritual, physical, social, informational, and psychological. While some components of this work are already undertaken by RNs at BCCA, missing is the ability to attend to these domains consistently and in a coordinated fashion across the care continuum. With an interest to improve BCCA patients’ experience of cancer care and pulling together findings from our previous research, this study proposes a pilot study of care coordination that will focus on three distinct processes: assessment, care planning, and follow up. In this study, these processes will be formalised with patient participants.

Metamaterials toolbox:Tuning heat flow at will in the Si-based materials at nano- and mesoscales

Heat management in semiconducting nanomaterials requires the design of engineered artificial structures, known as metamaterials, where thermal properties can be tuned almost at will by microstructural modifications. Testing a broad range of nanostructures for the particular device applications, with predictive behavior, is a grand challenge especially because of the difficulties associated with the experimental synthesis of the pristine samples, their char- acterization and property calculations. For example, the silicon-on-insulator technology, used as the building block of sensors designed by our industrial partner, gives rise to particularly complex phenomenology. These materials exhibit anisotropic heat flow that often greatly influences their heat transport behavior and thus impacts device performance either in a positive or negative way. Therefore, there is a strong industrial need to develop a material toolbox, with highly predictive structure-property relations to match particular device applications. Our goal is thus to respond to this need by mean of molecular dynamic simulations by constructing a multidimensional phase diagram that will incorporate a broad range of metamaterial structures and physical properties in order to explain, design, and propose experiments for new directions with the precise property predictions.

SSE – Bégin-Tremblay

Le service du développement organisationnel et du leadership à l’IUSMM répond, depuis l’avènement de la pandémie de la COVID-19, aux divers enjeux psychosociaux auxquels sont exposés ses travailleurs. Le département que je vais intégrer s’est constamment adapté aux besoins de ses employés et gestionnaires. Le projet qu’il souhaite mettre de l’avant permettra à l’organisation de s’adapter à notre nouvelle réalité économique. Les organisations du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux du Québec sont financées à même les taxes et les impôts des contribuables québécois.
Objectif général : Diminuer les coûts occasionnés par les problèmes de santé mentale vécus par nos travailleurs. Notre département de l’IUSMM mettra en place une série de capsules visant à sensibiliser et outiller les gestionnaires en matière de prévention de la santé mentale. Plus encore, nous dispenserons des activités de coaching avec les gestionnaires. Notre but est de nous assurer que leurs apprentissages soient bien transférés dans leur milieu de travail. Par exemple, le concept de harcèlement psychologique sera défini et des outils seront proposés pour le prévenir. Nous comptons faire de ces derniers des agents de changement dans leur service.

Design, Development of an Automated Hipot and Continuity tester for Novel Catheter

A novel medical device is designed and built by the partner organization. The medical device must go under certain safety tests during the manufacturing process, which are currently performed manually. However, manual tests are too time consuming due to the special structure of the device. On the other hand, the device is now being approved to be used in in Europe and will start a controlled Clinical study in the USA under a PMA filling. Because of this, the partner organization wants the intern to undertake a research project whose objective is to decrees the testing time of the device. The main benefit to the company is that the total production time is going to be decreased, enabling the company to make the supply meet the high demand in the future.

Membrane filtration for reuse of greenhouse wastewater

Most operations of horticulture are intensive users of water and nutrients. Growers recognize the importance of water conservation and recycling, and environmental protection and significant research dollars have been invested to develop integrated pest-management systems to reduce pesticide use, to optimize water and nutrient use within the operation, and encourage recirculation. The proposed project seeks to evaluate membrane filtration to treat and re-use irrigation water runoff, leachate, and other nutrient rich wastewaters. This technology has the potential to cost-effectively reduce water and nutrient use on the farm and eliminate or greatly reduce environmental impacts. It will be evaluated for effectiveness, cost/benefit, advantages, disadvantages, and suitability for different production systems. While this project is directed towards small and medium greenhouse operations and container nurseries, other groups producing high nutrient wastewater will benefit from the information derived.

Multi-sensors Error Modeling and Integration for Future Autonomous Car Navigation

Nowadays, there is a rapid increase in the use of low-cost inertial navigation sensors for commercial and civil applications. Fully autonomous or remotely controlled vehicles requires a reliable and continuous navigation system providing meter level accuracy. The cost, size, and power demand of navigation systems providing this level of accuracy impose a limiting factor to numerous applications. To provide a viable and alternative option, this research will focus on developing error models for multiple dead reckoning low-cost sensors, using innovative approaches, to mitigate the limitations on the performance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for navigation in urban environments. Furthermore, the research entails developing a set of methods and algorithms for both data acquisition and processing, respectively. The main outcome of the proposed research will be a robust navigation system that entails hardware and software that is capable of providing accurate navigation solutions for autonomous and self-driving car navigation
