Neuromod is a revolutionary pain treatment designed to help improve the quality of life of the ~4 million Canadians living with chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. Chronic MSK pain represents a major healthcare challenge due to the severity of pain, its impact on the individual, family, and Canadian Healthcare system. Current therapies for chronic MSK pain […]

We proposed a breath analyzer to identify viruses by utilizing an affordable fiber coupler. This sensor captures the optical absorbance spectrum, which contains the unique signatures of viruses present in the breath. The device is user-friendly: simply exhale into the analyzer to receive results. Our product addresses the traditional challenges of virus detection, eliminating high […]

Wearable non-invasive devices have emerged as useful tools for tracking physiological data from companion animals. By combining this data with machine learning techniques, it is possible to proactively detect disorders and prompt owners to seek medical attention. This research aims to asses the efficacy of this approach by using wearable devices for continuous monitoring and […]

Object handovers, which involve the action of giving and receiving objects, are an integral task for human-robot collaboration. Current human-to-robot handover systems rely on learning from sampled human expert trajectory data [5]. These data are usually difficult to gather, as two humans must hand over many different objects while recording the human motion with a […]

Understanding the performance of metals is related to its structure at many different length scales, from the atomic level all the way up to the macro-sized object. Being able to knit these length scales together for their chemistry, microstructure and defect structure is critical to deisgning new parts for high performance applications, sch as power […]

Wood is an eco-friendly material but is very susceptible to fire, therefore, treatments using organosilicon products can be carried out to make the wood more resistant to fire. The way Laroche’s group has carried out these treatments is through the application of plasma to the wood surface and subsequent application of the organosilicon product. In […]

Our project focuses on developing a bioprinting technology for treating severe burns. We aim to reduce scarring and enhance skin regeneration, which can significantly improve the lives of burn victims. This technology has the potential to make a big difference in the medical field, but it’s a challenging journey, especially due to the strict regulations […]

In collaboration with CAE, the project’s primary goal is to identify an appropriate material to isolate a battery pack in a hybrid electric aircraft. The chosen material must be as light as possible, while meeting appropriate safety standards. This battery module will be integrated into an aircraft for testing by the industry partner. With a […]

EPAID Technology: EPilepsy AI-Driven Technology aims to automate electrophysiological signal processing practice to assist clinicians in the treatment of epilepsy. We will partner with Springboard, who provides strategically positioned resources to Atlantic Canadian universities and colleges alike, helping them transfer both knowledge and technology into the private sector.

Spero Analytics is an IoT startup which deploys wireless environmental monitoring systems for the waste management and oil and gas industries. The core of our technology is a proprietary mesh network which can transmit data from sensors without the need for cellular infrastructure, using little energy, and requiring minimal maintenance. This project will focus on […]

Ce projet vise à comparer les gains économiques potentiels obtenus par la réduction des coûts entre une passerelle en aluminium conçue selon l’approche traditionnelle et une passerelle optimisée en utilisant une approche préliminaire d’optimisation topologique et dimensionnelle. L’objectif principal de cette comparaison est de démontrer les bénéfices économiques potentiels offerts par l’optimisation dans la conception […]

La Société de transport de Montréal (STM) souhaite électrifier sa flotte de véhicules de service (VS) d’ici 2027. Cette transition suscite divers défis pour la recharge des batteries. Contrairement aux bus thermiques, qui nécessitent un arrêt de quelques minutes, les VS électriques doivent être immobilisés pendant plusieurs heures pour une recharge. Parmi ces 500 véhicules, […]
