Post discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring technology (PVC-RAM) Trial

Patients discharged after undergoing non-elective (i.e., semi-urgent, urgent, or emergency) surgeries are at substantial risk, in the 30 days following surgery, of hospital re-admissions and presentation to emergency departments or urgent-care centres. The use of virtual care with remote automated monitoring (RAM) technology to monitor patients from their homes after surgery has the potential to prevent hospital readmission and the need for urgent or emergent care. This is particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent transmission and keep needed hospital beds available for individuals with COVID19.
The Post discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring technology (PVC-RAM) trial aims to determine the effect of virtual care provided via a shared care approach with remote automated patient monitoring on the risk of acute-hospital care after discharge, as well as on several other post-discharge outcomes including COVID-19 infection at 30 days and 6 months after randomization.

The effect of bovine colostrum supplementation in older adults

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of supplementation with bovine
colostrum, in combination with an 8-week (1 hour, 3 times per week) resistance or
weight-training program, on lean tissue (muscle) mass, strength, inflammation, bone
resorption, and cognitive function in men and women 50 years and older. Bovine
colostrum is the initial milk that is secreted in the first day after calving and is very high
in protein, growth factors and other proteins which benefit the human immune system.
This study will support and expand on the limited research available indicating the
effect of bovine colostrum supplementation on many factors and, for the first time,
devote research attention to older adults. This study will provide the partner
organization with relevant and current research to back marketing claims and expand
market potential.

Benefits and Challenges of using a Digital Health Platform for Remote Delivery of Allied Health Provider Services

The research project aims to discover the experience of two user groups interacting with a prototype developed by HealthQb. The user groups are patients suffering from anxiety, chronic pain and/or infertility, and their allied health practitioners, such as chiropractors, kinesiologists, naturopaths, osteopaths and physiotherapists. The patients will wear a wearable device that collects biometric data and input their subjective state into a mobile app and complete psychometric assessments; and the practitioners will use the analyzed data on a web-hosted dashboard developed by HealthQb, in hopes of delivering better inform treatment and remotely monitoring patient progress. Insights generated from the research will inform the design and development of a commercialized product, which HealthQb intends to develop by the end of 2020.

Canada and Snow Goose Herbivory Effects on Tidal Marsh Recession in the Fraser River Estuary

Tidal marshes are incredibly important bot ecologically and economically. While they provide many natural resources, they also provide flood protection and water filtration. However, many marshes are recessing into unvegetated mudflats. My project aims to find out if and how much goose herbivory contributes to this problem and compare the effects of Canada Geese and Snow Geese. To do this, exclosures will be set up in the mudflats and the marsh edge to keep either one or both geese species out. This will allow a direct comparison of how much damage one species does to the plants, relative to the other. After analyzing this data, I will try different new deterrents to scare and reduce herbivory of geese in tidal marshes. This project is being done in the hope of informing future management and restoration techniques throughout Canadian tidal marshes.

Farm Field Coverage Path Planning for Autonomous DOT Vehicles using Reeb Graphs and Reinforced Learning

The objective of this project is to develop full-coverage path plans for an autonomous vehicle, designed and developed by DOT Technology Corp., operating in a farm field. Conventional methods used in the realm of computational geometry, such as: (a) converting a digital representation of the physical space, i.e., the farm field of interest, to a Configuration space (C-space), where the robot can be seen as a automaton, i.e., a point robot, (b) breaking the C-space representation of the field to cells, via conventional cell decomposition methods, (c) generating the adjacency maps on decomposed cells, and (d) finding the optimal path for each cell that yields the best coverage, lowest number of turns, and minimal overlaps between runs will be investigated.

Small and Medium Enterprises in a Covid19 context: Ecosystem business intelligence for increased resilience

Covid 19 has deeply disrupted supply chains. Companies face profoundly changing consumer demand, the elimination of entire subsectors of industries due to forced closures, or individual suppliers due to bankruptcy or temporary plant closures due to COVID19 outbreaks. In this environment, continued operations and continued profitability depends on company’s ability to obtain real time information on markets, competitors and their own supply chain.
While many large companies have much of this information, Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) often do not, substantially limiting their ability to respond to disruptions, and also to adapt to the longer-term structural changes that are anticipated during the recovery / re-imagination phase of the economy.
This project will develop and validate a BI system that will support SMEs during and following the COVID19 disruptions and integrate it into the Bivizio platform currently deployed to agri-food and transportation sectors to increase the resilience of these key sectors to the Canadian economy.

Improving Outcomes for Children with Fetal AlcoholSpectrum Disorder in Care

Working with the FASD Support Network of Saskatchewan (the Network), the research project will
involve a process and impact evaluation of the Improving Outcomes for Children with FASD in Foster
Care training. This training is mandatory for all Saskatchewan foster families and optional for adoptive
parents. The overarching goal of the training is to increase parental knowledge of FASD and lead to
more positive outcomes among their children. The intern will utilize pre-, post-, and follow-up/interim
surveys, as well ministry employee and presenter surveys and parent focus groups. The data
gathered will be analyzed to provide recommendations into the process and outcomes of the FASD
training so that it can be more effective in the future. It will also be disseminated to members of
NeuroDevNet across the country.

Designing a Kinect Camera-Based API to Detect Qualities of Movement toSupport Gestural Interaction

Despite enormous advances in technology, digital interfaces continue to rely on text and image based
communication, demonstrating a lack of support for full-body sensory engagement, and downplaying
the body’s role in communication and experience. This dependence on visual modes of input and
output relies heavily on an individual’s attention, presenting problems for people performing tasks
such as walking or driving. There is currently much work being done on gestural movement interaction
as an alternative input method with most research addressing functional or task-oriented movement.
These approaches, however, neglect the semantic and expressive qualities of movement which
constitute an alternative language for interaction. The proposed internship is part of an ongoing
investigation of the ways in which embodied meaning is attributed to photographic content through the
use of movement-based tagging. This internship will focus on the development of a photo tagging
application utilizing a Microsoft© Kinect Camera to capture users’ movements….

Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic challenges for families with children impacted by Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Citizen Advocacy Ottawa (CAO) is a non-profit organization supporting families with children impacted by Neurodevelopmental Disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges to families already strained by the complexity of caregiving for these children. Many issues have been identified such as caregiver burnout, social isolation, mental health issues of all family members, and even increased violence in the home. CAO programs have modified service delivery to now offer virtual support to their clients (i.e., virtual support groups, family support and training). Caregivers’ needs will be assessed through an online survey and qualitative interviews will be conducted; impact of virtual training will be assessed through pre and post training evaluation. The organization will benefit from this study in having a better understanding of their clients’ needs and ways to adapt their service during this pandemic.

Smart Data Fusion for COVID-19 Patients

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, tech industry is racing to develop apps as well as wearable devices to help people to trace contacts, to self-assess, and to self-monitor the development of COVID-19 cases. However, these apps and devices work independently of each other, which leave it to users to connect pieces of information to determine risks and to assess possible COVID-19 infection as well as the severity of the condition. Moreover, the data is invaluable for healthcare providers to treat patients and also for COVID-19 research. In this project, we propose and develop BrightShare, a smart fusion solution to unleash the power of data. BrightShare turns patients’ COVID-19 and health data into actionable information by aggregating data from apps and devices, assessing data against early-warning indicators of COVID-19 infection, and enabling transparent data sharing. BrightShare unites patients, healthcare providers, and COVID-19 researchers to combat COVID-19 together.

Real-time context-aware recommender systems

Proposed Research: Existing recommender systems, even though very effective (like Amazon,
Netflix, Youtube etc) do not take into consideration any contextual information, such as time and
place. In recent times, context-aware recommender systems have attracted a lot of research and
industrial attention. In this project, we aim to address the unsolved challenges that comes with
incorporating contextual information in recommender systems.
Benefit to Namkis: Namkis enables users to review places and businesses around them, in terms of
smiles and scowls. Based on these reviews, relevant businesses are recommended to the users.
Improving the algorithms and inventing new techniques will aide namkis to provide better
recommendations to its users. This will result in higher engagement & greater virality of product.
