Health economic evaluation provides information about the value for money of new healthcare technologies, and is increasingly used to guide the allocation of scarce resources based on maximizing health gain. The molecular diagnostics company, PDI, has developed a technology to improve the identification of patients at high risk for oral cancers for early intervention, and […]

This project will evaluate the extent to which prominent international AI governance frameworks align with the common-pool resources (CPR) governance framework; its execution will consist in semi-structured interviews with experts and extensive literature review. The project aims to clarify how well-suited existing international AI governance proposals are to addressing the collective action problems marring international […]

Shabodi designs software platforms to empower developers, engineers, and businesses to create and deploy high-performing, network-aware applications. This means that developers can create applications that are not confined to specific platforms or networks. One of the challenges Shabodi faces is the variety of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) used by different software applications. An API is […]

This project aims to develop an interactive platform with AI capabilities to facilitate the creation of complex simulation labs for STEM education. The significance lies in enabling educators to design and deploy interactive lab environments efficiently, enhancing student engagement and understanding in STEM disciplines. The objectives include exploring generative AI models for lab creation, integrating […]

Thrive Group recognizes the need for co-designed EDI strategies that advance inclusive excellence in LTC and create a sense of belonging for all staff and residents […]

The risk of heart disease in women is underestimated, however once women enter menopause there is a large increase in disease risk, with heart disease accounting for ~75% of deaths in postmenopausal women. However, the full bodily changes that women experience during, and in the time after menopause is not understood. Additionally, it is well-known […]

While eye drops are the most common treatment for anterior segment ocular disorders, they are inefficient due to fast clearance, often requiring frequent and high doses, reducing patient compliance, and increasing the risk of systemic toxicity. To improve the efficiency and efficacy of topically applied therapeutics, a drug-loaded polymeric micelle that interacts with the mucin […]

This project will focus on the implementation of the ENVISAGE-Families program within a children’s treatment centre, KidsABILITY. ENVISAGE is a validated evidence-informed program co-created by family caregivers, service providers, and researchers in Canada and Australia that empowers, connects, and supports caregivers early in their experience of raising a child with developmental concerns. The five-week online […]

With the successful demonstration of HARVEST (formerly POWER) system with Pizza Pizza, this project focuses on adapting the HARVEST system for use with gas-fired fryers and demonstrate the proven waste heat recovery technology in a full-service restaurant (FSR) operated by Recipe Unlimited. Being a fuel-less, carbon-free water heating system that acts as a drop-in replacement […]

Predictive Fire Incident Risk Scoring System aims to develop a comprehensive risk assessment tool tailored to urban neighborhoods. Utilizing a combination of Census data, historical fire incident records, building structures, and expert knowledge, the project seeks to create a predictive risk scoring system capable of quantifying the overall fire incident risk level for each neighborhood. […]

The proposed project for carbon footprint analysis of concrete block will benefit the community. Demand on concrete blocks is increasing dramatically and such massive production of these blocks contributes to an estimated 5% of Carbon emission of total carbon present in atmosphere. Thus, this analysis will help understanding and subsequently reducing carbon footprint of concrete […]
