The proposed research focuses on developing a welding system that can be used to create helmet pads and other protective gear, like knee and shin pads. This system will use ultrasonic welding or soldering techniques, making the process more efficient than current methods. The goal is to reduce the time and labour involved in manufacturing […]

The research focuses on development and implementation of advanced software algorithms designed for the automated analysis of skin lesion images. The algorithms will be designed to run on mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets, and could be used by the general users as well as doctors for computer-assisted screening and diagnosis of skin […]

This project focuses on developing a smart, wearable system powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced brain signal analysis to help monitor worker fatigue and stress in the mining industry. Mining is a demanding job, and workers often face long hours and stressful conditions, increasing the risk of accidents. The system uses a small, non-invasive […]

Market Research for the Detection of TBI Biomarkers using Nanobiosensors

Business Case / Problem: The travel industry is increasingly competitive, requiring innovative approaches to pricing, distribution, and strategic planning. This business case proposes an development of a machine learning (ML), or equivalent module to specifically analyze two types of telemetry data: pricing, booking across multiple distribution channels. By leveraging this data, the module will provide […]

At WorkSafeBC, an overwhelming amount of data is being produced, particularly in conversation logs between people who have an active claim with WorkSafeBC and various practitioners with whom they have regular contact (usually over the phone). These records are transcribed into text and the information is far beyond what any analyst could possibly read and […]

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are a key technology in the race against climate challenges, and while commercial applications are increasingly common, challenges remain in cost, performance, and durability. Most of the issues that prevent full commercialization affect the catalyst layer, the region where the power-generating electrochemical reactions take place, like the oxygen reduction reaction. This […]

BCAA is working on creating the systems, processes, and frameworks to enable high barrier individuals to use our new shared e-bike and e-scooter services and seeking support from subject matter experts in the areas of equity, innovation and technology to help develop our “Inclusive Mobility Program” offered to communities and individuals. BCAA will be using […]

British Columbia’s Fraser Health Authority (FHA) faces challenges of lacking linkages to provincial administrative data to monitor long-term outcomes among their OAT clients. This one-year Mitacs Accelerate initiative will be undertaken in collaboration with FHA using both provincial administrative data held by the trainee’s supervisor and FHA’s summarized statistics data to characterize the client base […]

In industries, chemical processes involve different plants running in parallel with different production rates under the strict constraints on available resources. Therefore, events like shutdown of one or more plants, operating plants with different production grades with flexible run length time, different equipment utilization rates of plants are vital to be studied, scheduled, and optimized. […]

Boundary Pass is a critical foraging habitat for Southern Resident killer whales, West Coast Transient (Bigg’s) killer whales, and humpback whales, but high vessel traffic in the shipping lanes put whales at risk of disturbance from underwater noise and vessel proximity. Since 2019, Transport Canada has implemented two seasonal Interim Sanctuary Zones (ISZ) for whales […]

STEMCELL Technologies supports the research of Canadian and international scientists (academic, industrial, clinical) by supplying labs with research tools to investigate research questions tied to some of the most pressing health care needs faced by the Canadian community. STEMCELL’s high quality standards in the cell and biomolecule isolation market are continuously driving the company to […]
