The Nexagon project aims to develop an innovative neck collar designed to help prevent concussions in sports like hockey by reducing rapid head and neck movements during impact. Inspired by natural structures such as the honeycomb, the collar will be lightweight, comfortable, and effective in absorbing and redistributing forces that can cause brain injuries. Using […]

This project aims to develop a cost-effective imaging system for the early detection of crop diseases, with a particular focus on Fusarium Head Blight which is a disease responsible for an estimated $1 billion in annual losses to Canadian agriculture. Fusarium Head Blight produces deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin that renders grain unusable at concentrations as […]

The LinkedWell Companion project is creating an intelligent and compassionate digital tool that helps families and healthcare providers communicate more clearly and stay connected beyond short medical appointments. In many clinics, appointments last only a few minutes, and patients often leave with unanswered questions, forgotten details, or confusion about what to do next. LinkedWell aims […]

The proposed project aims to develop advanced materials that can better resist corrosion and damage in marine and offshore environments. These materials will help extend the service life of equipment and structures exposed to harsh seawater conditions, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. By improving durability and reliability, the project will support safer and more efficient […]

This project is developing a new type of collagen-based material that can help reattach loose teeth caused by severe gum disease or injury. When gum tissue and bone are damaged, teeth can loosen or fall out because the natural structures that anchor them are destroyed. Current treatments only partially repair this damage and often fail […]

Accurate and accessible blood pressure monitoring remains a challenge for individuals, wellness providers, and organizations such as insurers that require reliable health data. Existing cuff-based devices are often inconvenient, intrusive, and unsuitable for continuous or large-scale use. There is a growing demand in the wellness, fitness, and insurance industries for technologies that make health monitoring […]

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal condition that affects posture, movement, and quality of life. Deficiencies in proprioception, the body’s sense of position and movement, may play a role by disrupting balance and postural control, contributing to spinal misalignment. Scoliosis is typically assessed with static images such as X-rays, which cannot show how […]

This project aims to validate and strategically position an innovative digital health solution designed to monitor tremors in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The system integrates a wearable sensor and a mobile application to provide continuous, objective measurements of tremor severity and patterns — data that are traditionally collected subjectively and infrequently during clinical visits. Over […]

This project will develop and test an adaptive radar system that can monitor a person’s vital signs and detect falls without the need for wearable devices or cameras. The system uses advanced radar hardware and intelligent software to track heart rate, breathing, and movement safely and privately, even in real home or care environments. The […]

Equlantic is a water quality monitoring company developing advanced technology to support countless sectors that rely on sound water quality data. Our modular sensor suite collects high-resolution, real-time data across key chemical, physical, and biological parameters in aquatic environments. By closing critical data gaps, Equlantic enables companies to accurately understand the aquatic environments they are […]

RAR Innovations is a woman-owned, Newfoundland-based start-up focused on improving emergency-care technology through the development of the Lickety Splint (LS), a one-piece, wrap-around compression immobilization device that combines the function of a splint and a bandage. Unlike conventional splints such as the SAM Splint, SpeedSplint, or improvised wooden planks, the Lickety Splint can be applied […]

This project develops an intelligent automation system to revolutionize how we inspect safety-critical components in industries like aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. It focuses on Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), a powerful but skill-dependent method for finding hidden flaws in materials. Currently, interpreting PAUT data demands highly trained technicians to analyze complex signal patterns and images. […]
