Pedicle screws are used often in a spinal fusion to add support and strength to the fusion while it heals. Traditionally, a large incision is made to implant screws and rods that stabilize the spine. In contrast, percutaneous pedicle fixation is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique, performed through the skin without a traditional large […]

Based on the intersection of: (1) the lack in understanding the effects of COVID-19 on various municipal sectors; and (2) the necessity of integrating Indigenous perspectives and data concerning contemporary Indigenous communities within the Kingston area, in informing how to build resiliency, Indigenize projects, and decolonize research, this research seeks to Indigenize the Kingston Resiliency […]

Achievement of competence in medical interventions requires practice, and early stages of practice are best done in simulation, typically using some combination of digital (computer generated) and physical (mannequin) models. The overall objective of the pro;osed MITACS Globalink project is to design, implement and evaluate a practical embodiment of the novel low-cost ultrasound-guided kidney intervention […]

Lung ultrasound is an efficient and widespread method used in bedside diagnostic examinations. The interpretation of ultrasound in emergency care is an extremely difficult task, especially for less experienced physicians. The objective of the project is to implement and validate comprehensive AI-based approach using deep learning to assist in identifying diagnostically relevant imaging features and […]

A web task is defined as the set of services, sessions, and sequence of interactions that are required to perform a certain user objective. The current Web tasking model does not consider user preferences and context when executing a Web task. The proposed research project aims to improve the experience of Web users through personalization […]

Tiresias is a client private solution to malware protection and threat intelligence. Tiresias allows a user to put all their incoming files in a cryptographically secure Data Chest locally. After sending the Data Chest to our cloud environment, our AI scans and infers if it is malicious without seeing the actual file content from the […]

The internship will be to develop a hiring framework for Liberty Mutual Canada, grounded in academic research and best practices to mitigate implicit bias.

Using its Competencies of Practice for Canadian Recovery-Oriented Psychosocial Rehabilitation Practitioners, a document compiled through the Scientific Committee of the organization, it offers a national certification program for people who want to demonstrate their […]

Concrete—the most common construction material globally—represents the main component of construction. Cement production and its use in concrete as a binder are among the highest carbon dioxide producing processes, thereby contributing to climate change. Any decrease in carbon emissions from construction will help improve the industry’s long-term sustainability and help the environment. One potential solution […]

Future Design School (FDS) is a Education focused consulting organization that helps schools globally by providing transformational strategies, professional development and framework based resources in order to transform how teachers teach and students learn. They work alongside educators and school districts in order to understand what are common issues that students and teachers face and […]

Metal nanoparticles are increasingly used in cosmetics, food packaging, textiles, toothpaste, and other ubiquitous products. Yet, their impact on our environment, food, and health is largely unknown because measuring nanoparticles in environmental and biological systems is very difficult. Similarly, measuring the uptake of metal-containing drugs by cells to develop smart therapeutics targeting tumors is also […]

We have aspired for a green and intelligent future, where humans, the built environment, and nature are interconnected as a cyber-physical system. To such an Internet of Things, the sustainability and robustness of the power system are crucial, and the reliable operation of the battery-based energy storage systems is essential because of their abilities in […]
