Test package for digital microfluidic electrochemiluminescence assays

Portable medical tests that could be used in the clinic or at the patient’s home significantly reduce the time it takes to get a diagnostic result. To make them portable, miniaturized fluid handling systems are used to control and automate the test procedure. By combining these tests with sensitive detection strategies, we can use small volumes of samples, such as a finger prick of blood. Verv Tec of Sudbury Ontario is developing the next generation of portable medical testing systems and require assistance in developing and optimizing diagnostic tests. The intern will develop microfluidic tools and instrumentation as well as optimized diagnostic tests that Verv Tec can use in future development. These tools will allow Verv Tec to asses different manufacturing strategies for producing test cartridges used by their portable testing device.

Marketing and Strategy Internship

Windsure Adventure Watersports has been teaching windsurfing, stand up paddle boarding, and skim boarding to groups and individuals for over 40 years in Vancouver. Covid-19 has presented Windsure with both challenges and opportunities. The biggest challenge that Windsure faced was when they had to close down their business for nearly two months. This closure disrupted group sessions with schools, as well as individual customer’s ability to rent stand up paddle boards, skim boards, and windsurfing gear. However, when Windsure was allowed to re-open their business, they were flooded with people who wanted to join their camps, take lessons, and/or rent their gear. There is an opportunity to retain the new customers who saw Windsure’s services as a fun and safe activity during the restrictions of Covid-19, as well as to re-affirm to the existing customers who could not access Windsure’s services for two months that Windsure is there for them. Though, in order to seize this opportunity and combat their challenges, Windsure will need employees who are designated to work as marketers and they have never had formal marketing staff before. This is where the Marketing and Strategy internship will come into play. The intern will develop a market analysis report identifying Windsure’s position within the competitive landscape as well as who their customers are. With this knowledge, the intern will then develop marketing initiatives that will target their customers and help build a community with them in order to seize the above stated opportunity.

Validation of the Babbly language development app – Year two

This study will validate the accuracy of a new artificial intelligence (AI) powered application, which has been developed to track communication and cognition during the babbling stages of development in the first year of life. Once validated, this app will be an asset to both parents and clinicians. It will be used by parents and will be suitable for informing speech-language pathologists and other clinicians about potential developmental communication/cognitive delays during this period. Parents will upload videos of their infants’ communicative interactions and the app will flag children who show signs of an atypical trajectory in their development. Red flags will facilitate both the early assessment of very young children, and appropriate therapies to be put into place. The validation process will include two stages: (1) teaching the AI to identify typical communication behaviors in infancy; (2) testing whether the AI performs accurately with both typically developing infants and those at-risk for atypical development. These will entail, first, manually coding videos for communication behavior (a time-consuming process), then assessing whether or not the AI can accurately categorize these infant behaviors (a time efficient process). Ultimately, this app will enable the earliest identification of language delays in Canadian children.

Safety and effectiveness of Mifegymiso® offered through different service delivery points: a national prospective cohort study – Year two

Medication abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol has the potential to advance women’s access to safe and geographically accessible abortion care. Improved access to medication abortion protects women’s right to health and supports women’s autonomy and agency. However, the over-regulation of mifepristone in much of the Global North has muted the promise of this pill-based regimen of abortion care. Although Health Canada only approved mifepristone in 2015, Canada’s regulatory environment has leapfrogged that of other countries, thus allowing the mifepristone/misoprostol regimen to be integrated into a range of service delivery systems, including a number of demedicalized strategies. In this two-year national prospective cohort study we aim to collect information from different types of providers to assess the safety and effectiveness associated with the provision of medication abortion. We aim to analyze quantitative data from approximately 15,000 patients to assess safety and effectiveness and identify any differences in outcome by type of service delivery and geographic location. This study represents a partnership between the University of Ottawa and the National Abortion Federation (NAF) Canada. Our findings will have programmatic and policy implications and the results will support the efforts of NAF Canada to improve access to medication abortion in Canada and beyond.

Towards a Utility Framework for Enterprise Business Intelligence Mashups

Based on a deliberation of enterprise and end-user requirements for BI Mashups technologies and services, this project aims to formulate a utility framework for enterprise BI Mashups. The framework is expected to advance an understanding of business process requirements that can be satisfied through the use of enterprise BI Mashups, and also aid in the development of mashup toolkits targeted at BI end-users. As IBM Cognos is one of the major providers of enterprise business intelligence and analytics technologies, there is significant interest within the company for further development of BI mashup tools and services. The research investigation outlined in this proposal aims to advance the knowledge base for enterprise BI Mashups by offering strategic insights and actionable guidelines that can improve the adoption of business intelligence technologies across the enterprise and enhance the end-user experience with mashup tools and applications for business analytics.

Forrestgreen x Cameron Rowe Internship

This project is a COVID-19 research project which will see the Intern working on a number of tasks supporting the adoption of Forrestgreen Police Solutions. The solution provides a faster and cheaper way to get your Police background check completed online. COVID-19 has caused rapid growth for Forrestgreen in this area, and the Intern will support the digital strategy, social media, and outreach for the Police Services who are existing customers. This will include reaching out and communicating with Police Services to ensure they are using and aware of supporting features with the dashboards Forrestgreen is providing them. The expected benefit for the partner organization is that Brandon and others at Forrestgreen will be able to focus on onboarding new Police Services and grow their digital & social media strategy.
