We are building a machine learning algorithm to be able to better understand the messy clinical notes that doctors write on patients and to automatically structure them. This will help hospitals and healthcare systems standardize and extract insights from these notes to make them more useful for determining how sick COVID patients are and how […]

The excessive daily requirement for COVID-19 tests has put the healthcare providers in an overwhelming circumstance, especially in rural communities, with a limited number of resources. Moreover, the existing COVID-19 screening technique is time-consuming and expensive, which can be a luxury for many communities. Thus, in this research project, in collaboration with the TBRHRI, we […]

This research project will enable Krate Distributed Information Systems Inc. (Krate) to provide two software as a service (SaaS) cloud products that will integrate with the distributed computer platform of fellow startup Distributed Compute Labs (DCL) to aid COVID-19 researchers. DCL’s distributed computer is in use by scientists and researchers across Canada (this company’s product […]

Modern cloud-based applications are deployed as isolated processes in containers or virtual machines. These applications frequently require tuning by the application developer (or a DevOps engineer) in order to extract the requisite performance. For example, a Java application executing within a Docker container may have radically better performance if the host JVM runs with a […]

People who experience mental wellness challenges or mental illness often struggle to obtain or maintain a position in the workplace. Furthermore, lack of employment means individuals lose out on a myriad of mental, emotional, and physiological benefits that are generated through work. This is extremely relevant given the current COVID crisis where personal distancing and […]

The global population is rising, generating a need to produce more food to feed the world. Along with climate change, the food crops across the world are facing growing challenges from pests, pathogens and viruses that attack and destroy crops. In Canada, we export more than $7 billion worth of wheat every year. The Terramera-led […]

Healthcare facilities collect and produce vast amounts of clinical-relevant data. Various AI-related methods (like computer-aided detection for mammography and the learning and visualization of clinical pathways) are applied to healthcare these days, and visualization techniques are also used to support clinicians due to the complexities of clinical data. This self-contained survey focuses on the assessment […]

The treatment of chronic conditions accounted for 58% of the annual healthcare spend in Canada in 2012, primarily through the use of pharmaceuticals. However, these are generally best suited to treat acute diseases, as with chronic use, side effects can accumulate over time while therapeutic effects diminish. Neuromodulation of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) represents […]

Food Convergence and Integrity (FCI) Canada is being formed to help agri-food companies mitigate the disruptions of Covid-19, increase interactions and innovations among Canadian agrifood companies and enable new agrifood business streams. Through its member platform, it will enhance resilience and competitiveness of the Canadian agri-food sector, resulting also in increased food security for Canadians. […]

The main objective of this research project is to determine the factors that can be used to understand customer behavior associated with using secure and reliable IoT devices. This will allow for non-intrusive products to be designed with more reliability and less security risks. This will require an in-depth study into user behavior, user experience, […]

The intern will enhance the functionality of a hand-held gamma spectrometer produced by Environmental Instrument Canada (EIC). In order to improve the performance of the spectrometer, the control board will be switched to a higher spec microcontroller, and the firmware source code will be re-written from interpreted Javascript to C code. New functionality, including energy […]
