Spatial Lab – Student Led UX/UI Design Project at Emily Carr

Healthcare stakeholders seek to reduce the cost and accessibility of acute care especially for elder and underprivileged groups. During times of emergencies like a global pandemic, the burden is creating even more problems. Spatial Lab’s home testing solutions will open markets for alternative wellness tests and examinations and thus connect more people to adequate healthcare. In an effort to reduce hospital acute care self-directed wellness testing can engage people early on in their health awareness. For instance, Tuberculosis, Diabetes, Coronavirus, Cardiovascular disease and many other disease states have early-stage biomarkers that are not commonly used in medical care. However, biomarkers alone have not proven to be a reliable way to triage and create health care referrals. Spatial Lab combines testing and analytics with its at-home platform. We can help people understand their risk progression to disease, while providing both options for lifestyle change and appropriate data for early referrals to care. This will create a cost and time saving solution for providers, patients and insurance companies alike.

Identification d’indicateurs de performance pour optimiser les trajectoires de soins en oncologie dans un contexte de COVID et de soins virtuels.

La crise sanitaire de la COVID-19 amène une révolution dans les solutions électroniques pour prestataires de soins et une pression sans précédent. Depuis mars 2020, la demande est énorme pour l’amélioration du concept de clinique virtuelle. Cette nouvelle réalité ouvre un nouveau marché, mais vient complexifier la gestion des données de patients et les processus cliniques. Dans le contexte actuel de la pandémie, l’entreprise Omnimed doit permettre aux intervenants du système de santé de première ligne d’assurer un suivi serré auprès de populations à risque de développer un cancer, ou auprès de patients diagnostiqués qui peinent à obtenir des suivis adéquats pendant la crise sanitaire. Le but de ce projet de recherche est d’identifier, à l’aide d’outils d’intelligence d’affaires, quels indicateurs de performance devraient être utilisés pour piloter la trajectoire de soins des patients atteints de cancer. Afin d’optimiser les trajectoires de soins en oncologie, il faut connaître les points sensibles et les indicateurs qui permettront de poser des actions concrètes pour monter des tableaux de bord et développer les bons outils cliniques afin d’optimiser le dépistage et la prise en charge.

Operations Intern

FinnAI aims to build simple, easy-to-use conversational banking platforms for financial institutions so their customers can easily manage their money and improve their financial literacy. Although FinnAI’s business model has proven resilient to COVID, the move to fully remote work has been challenging as their policies, company rituals, customer service and culture were not designed to meet the demands of a remote work environment. Thus, the intern will work with the operations team to research, design, and implement a strategy to convert the workforce to a hybridized working model in perpetuity and build company culture and consistent touchpoints. Futhermore, they will support legal and market reviews of remote work policy considerations, as well as create learning materials and deliver trainings to employees on best practices in remote environments. The intern is to support FinnAI not only survive a transition to a remote workforce, but leverage it as a competitive advantage for employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. As more US companies hire remote in Canada, smaller companies need to evolve quickly to retain talent.
