Bio Window Knowledge: Personalizing Most Relevant Content from Big Data

Peer publications in the healthcare are many and held in silos. For researchers, the accessibility and utility of such publications can be problematic for a variety of reasons. Open access publication has addressed some of the issues, but the silos remain an issue. Electric Effect will provide a technology platform that breaks down the silo barrier, truly opening efficient access for all researchers. The proposed research project will help develop and deploy unique ML/AI processes to enhance the platform by assisting with the autonomous validation, personalization and surfacing of peer publications. This will enhance the peer user experience through increased engagement and collaboration, and integration with our proposed rewards system. Electric Effect will benefit from this project through accelerated commercialization of its ML/AI driven peer healthcare community platform and also access to new innovative methodologies developed by the researcher. In addition, the research will provide feedback to our publishing partners.

Gestion des risques en cybersécurité et stratégies face à la menace des rançongiciels

Depuis quelques années un nouveau stratagème criminel s’est taillé une place de choix au sein de la communauté des cybercriminels et a pris un essor considérable : les rançongiciels ou ransomware. Ces logiciels malveillants qui infectent les ordinateurs de leurs victimes et demandent en échange le paiement d’une rançon sont devenus une des cybermenaces les plus importantes pour les entreprises en matière de cybercriminalité. De fait, la recherche vise à déterminer comment effectuer une gestion des risques efficace en cybersécurité et les stratégies à adopter face à la menace que représentent les rançongiciels. Ce projet a également pour but de développer des activités de prévention – détection – réponse de l’organisation pour Desjardins.

Residential Heat Loss Identification and Analysis Through Convolutional Neural Networks Without Utilization of Thermal Imaging

Energy efficiency for homes has been of tremendous interests in recent years as the overall energy consumption of households takes up a significant portion of the total energy consumption. Energy efficiency is key for homeowners to save. Therefore, the ability to clearly identify heat losses in a household is vital in the creation of unique solutions to homeowners to curb the identified heat losses. This project aims to identify the heat losses of residential homes using computer algorithms so an informed decision can be made, by the utility or their customers, of energy saving upgrades to the investigated households. Furthermore, the project will be integrated into the Saint John Energy customer portal so that existing customers can check their energy efficiency scores of their houses.

Digital Inclusion: Improving access to online health information for people with complex chronic conditions

There are increasing numbers of people living with complex chronic health conditions in Canada. In order to manage their health and continue to live meaningful lives, these individuals and their families need relevant, useful information. Most online information is not delivered with this population in mind. The goal of this study is to examine the online experience of people with complex chronic conditions to develop accessible ways to deliver digital information to this group. The Health Gateway site will be a test case for the implementation of these strategies. Working with researchers from Bridgepoint, graduate students from the Inclusive Design program at OCAD University will use participatory and user-centered design methods to encourage collaboration among end-users, designers and researchers and achieve project goals. Findings will support appropriate delivery of online health resources that suit end-user needs and abilities and promote the well being of people living with complex chronic conditions

To Discover Potential New Antidepressant Compounds from Mushrooms Native to British Columbia

Mental illnesses, particularly depression, is one of the leading causes of global disease burden. In addition to reducing the quality of life of patients and their relatives, it costs billions of dollars annually to the Canadian economy. Unfortunately, current antidepressant drugs are barely satisfactory and have numerous side-effects. The goal of this project is to discover potential new antidepressant drugs from wild mushrooms native to British Columbia. This is in line with Translational Life Sciences (TLS) Inc., a drug discovery biotechnology company in Vancouver that is interested in finding new psychedelic/antidepressant compounds. TLS will have the proprietary rights to any discovered compounds and is therefore expected to benefit financially in the near future.

Printable/sprayable anti-infective and anti-fouling coatings based on biomedical-grade polymers

Despite substantial research efforts, the problems of spreading infectious diseases (such as COVID-19) through surface transmission and infections associated with medical devices persist. One promising solution is to apply a coating to the surface of concern that can provide effective surface disinfection. However, existing approaches typically provide only short-term disinfection effects (a few hours), contain materials having potential human or environmental health risks, or require specific fabrication steps that can be performed only during device manufacturing. Instead, the project proposed herein aims to develop and validate the use of water-based coatings made of biomedical-grade polymers that offer long-term disinfection, and can chemically bond to different surfaces of medical relevance using a facile application strategy (i.e. printing, dip-coating, or spraying) that would be scalable to industrial production and/or applicable at the point of care. We anticipate such coatings will offer a safer and longer-term solution to the challenge of surface disinfection.
