System and algorithm development of ballistocardiograph-based remote monitoring system for heart failure patients

Remotely monitoring the heart is crucial for reducing the hospital readmission rate of heart failure (HF) patients. However, for aging populations with physical and cognitive limitations, existing monitoring techniques such as self-management or CardioMEMS remain demanding or invasive. There is a growing need for easy-to-use and non-invasive remote monitoring. Ballistocardiograph (BCG) measures the mechanical vibration […]

Fast estimation of building stocks in the GTA for deconstruction assessment

There is a large stock of construction materials in existing built facilities, which when reaching their end of life, become a liability for their owners. The current practices of demolishing and disposing of these facilities when reaching their end-of-life generate considerable amounts of wastage and collectively can lead to landfill overuse; hence are not compliant […]

Automated fault detection in commercial refrigeration systems

A refrigerant leak is one of the major contributors of commercial refrigeration unexpected breakdowns. Conventional methods of leak detection using physical sensors are expensive, have limited capability of square footage coverage, and incapable of detecting slow and progressive refrigerant leaks. Accordingly, the development of a smart leak detection system without the need to include additional […]

Developing Smart Technologies for Aging in Place at Home

Transitioning patients from hospital to at-home care is vital for health care operations. However, there is a general concern that these at-risk populations would not be receiving the same level of care at home as they would in a dedicated medical facility. Elderly populations experience a significantly higher risk of readmission after discharge from acute […]
