As Hamilton, Ontario endures a proliferating mental health crisis, community mental health agencies are struggling to deliver care to everyone who needs it. This project involves intern Loa Gordon partnering with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Hamilton branch to develop, implement, and assess an evidence-based self-care curriculum that will be offered to CMHA Hamilton […]

Developing new high performance steels for vehicle lightweighting applications is essential for reducing transport emissions and for maintaining Canada’s competitive manufacturing base. Stelco have been collaborating with McMaster University and with the CanmetMATERIALS (CMAT) laboratory to design advanced hot rolled alloys for this purpose. Promising results from pilot scale trials at CMAT have now been […]

MobilitiQ is a Canadian mobility-technology partner developing an AI-enabled, on-demand shared mobility platform that helps public-sector and private operators design, operate, and continuously improve flexible-route/flexible-schedule services. The organization’s core activities include: (i) integrating operational data sources (e.g., AVL/dispatch logs, booking/ride requests, service policies); (ii) building analytics to understand spatio-temporal demand patterns, service reliability, and operational […]

This project focuses on the development and validation of asset-level climate risk modeling frameworks for infrastructure and institutional portfolios. As climate-related hazards intensify, asset owners and financial institutions require forward-looking, decision-grade analytics that quantify physical risk under multiple climate scenarios. The project applies a structured hazard – exposure – vulnerability – loss framework, integrating geospatial […]

PROVA Innovations Ltd. is developing WithinStride®, a Canadian-designed smart insole system that supports gait rehabilitation using wearable technology and connected digital health tools. The system is intended to help individuals with mobility challenges improve their walking patterns and support recovery in both home and clinical environments. This project will focus on strengthening the overall performance, […]

This project involves a student intern working with QReserve, a Canadian technology company that provides sophisticated resource management and scheduling software. The intern will focus on a “Growth and Marketing” initiative designed to translate QReserve’s complex technical features into clear, professional, and human-centric content for the B2B market. By developing strategic communication frameworks—including technical writing, […]

This project will design and test scalable ecosystem adoption frameworks for a Canadian sports technology platform. Through structured market research and pilot experiments, it will develop repeatable go-to-market models that support multi-stakeholder growth across North America.

This project will support the growth of Take Care, a physician founded SaaS platform that prepares users (and really their families) for aging, sudden illness and end of life. This project focuses on improving how individuals and families move from starting to completing important planning for aging, illness, and major life transitions. While advanced care […]

This 4 month project will establish Sensible Vascular’s first formalized, quality-system-aligned benchtop performance evaluation framework for its thrombectomy catheter and stent retriever system. The project will focus on developing, validating, and documenting five foundational test methods—trackability, tensile strength, torquability, device–device interaction, and reliability—guided by FDA recommendations, ISO 13485 design control principles, relevant literature, and industry […]

This project will support SixthSense Labs, a Canadian medtech startup, in bringing its radar-based gait speed tool from a proven prototype to real-world use across Canada. The tool can measure gait speed in under six seconds without wearables or cameras and gives an immediate report, which could help identify mobility decline and fall risk earlier […]

ARISE is an augmented reality, AI-enabled therapy platform developed by Neuro-Mod to improve chronic neck pain care through engaging, mechanism-informed exercises delivered via lightweight AR glasses and a smartphone. This project combines two goals: (1) clinical pilot evaluation and product refinement, and (2) market launch preparation. During the internship, ARISE will be implemented across up […]
