Quantitiative MRI-based Assessment of Musculoskeletal Image Based Biomarkers in Spinal Metastases Patients

This project aims to extract musculoskeletal health information from medical MRI scans that are already routinely collected in spine cancer patients at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Patients treated for spinal tumors typically undergo both CT and MRI scans as part of standard care. In this project, the intern will develop and validate an automated image-analysis […]

Disentangled Representation Learning for Epilepsy EEG

L’épilepsie touche des millions de personnes dans le monde et se manifeste par des crises soudaines qui peuvent être difficiles à prévoir ou à détecter automatiquement. Aujourd’hui, les médecins utilisent principalement l’électroencéphalogramme (EEG) pour analyser l’activité du cerveau et identifier les signes annonciateurs de ces crises. Cependant, l’interprétation des signaux EEG est complexe et nécessite […]

Smart Management of Hospital Blood Bank Operations: Optimizing Units, Donors, and Stock

This Mitacs project aims to transform hospital blood bank operations into a predictive, efficient, and data-driven system using ten years of real hospital data. Traditional blood bank systems lack analytical and forecasting capabilities, leading to shortages, overstocking, and wastage. The project will develop an end-to-end AI framework that forecasts blood demand, optimizes inventory, detects shortages […]

AI Patient Intake and Screening

TxtSquad will develop an AI-driven intake and screening system that begins over SMS and continues in a secure web portal. Patients can upload documents and describe their symptoms, which are processed using OCR and AI to generate structured, FHIR-compatible records for EMR integration. The project will reduce administrative effort and improve intake quality for healthcare […]

Can LLMs work in a spectrum of thought

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in everyday life, yet they often make decisions based on internal assumptions and tendencies that users cannot see. These hidden patterns, called inductive biases, shape how models interpret concepts, judge situations, and respond to people. Understanding these biases is essential for building safer and more trustworthy AI systems. […]

Towards Explainable and Privacy-Preserving LLM Frameworks for Personalized Healthcare Part 2

The project is the direct continuation of application #IT47869, extending the work initiated in the first 24-week phase toward a more scalable, robust, and deployment-ready Large Language Model framework for healthcare. While the initial unit focused on designing the system architecture, implementing explainability and privacy mechanisms, and establishing preliminary evaluation methods, this second phase will […]
