The Disaster Management and Community Support Platform is designed to enhance disaster preparedness and response in Canadian communities by providing real-time risk assessments and fostering a robust community support network. The platform integrates features such as real-time communication, volunteer matching, resource management, and mental health support to help local governments, NGOs, and residents respond more […]

Our research team has worked with the Northern Alberta Cardiac Rehabilitation Program (NACRP) to develop an online, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program (“My Heart Coach”). This program provides exercises and educational activities consistent with current clinical practice guidelines. A potential opportunity for improvement in this program and others is the development of a woman-focused cardiac rehabilitation […]

The origin and early evolution of vertebrates — fishes and their descendants — represents a poorly understood phase in the deep-time ancestry of the human lineage. A series of transitions occurred between 500 and 400 million years ago from a worm-like ancestor to a bony predatory fish with a jaw. Using Europe’s largest fossil collections […]

ELISAs are one of the most utilized immunoassays for rapid disease diagnostics, disease surveillance, biomarker quantification, food inspection, and food analysis. Since the invention of ELISAs over 50 years ago, they have been restricted to single-use disposable test kits. Invention of reusable ELISAs is a potentially market-disrupting advancement that requires market validation. The Lab2Market Validate […]

Quantum memories are key components in the development of a quantum network. Among their many uses, these memories will facilitate the synchronization of quantum signals at repeater nodes, which are a crucial technology for extending the long-distance reach of quantum communications. Quantum memories facilitate the transfer of quantum information from electromagnetic signals into matter-based quantum […]

The aging population faces mobility challenges, with existing devices offering only basic, passive support, which increases the risk of falls and injuries. The proposed solution, AidMe LLM-Powered Mobility Framework, enhances motorized assistive devices with AI, allowing users to issue voice commands and receive adaptive support. This improves user autonomy and reduces injury risks. This BSI […]

This project aims to develop a vertical farming system that will produce fresh, high-quality crops in urban areas, helping to address food insecurity and promote wellness. Using advanced farming technology, the system will require less land and water compared to traditional agriculture, making it more sustainable and efficient. The expected benefits for the partner organization […]

BackSCNR offers an accessible solution for screening and monitoring AIS designed to provide sustainable care for patients. By simplifying and shortening medical appointments, BackSCNR reduces the burden on patients and the healthcare system while also offering patients an easy way to track changes in their spine curvature over time. The technology behind BackSCNR is supported […]

We are developing a portable soil analysis system based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). During LIBS, an intense laser pulse generates plasma on the soil surface, and the emission from this plasma serves as a fingerprint of the soil’s elemental composition. The signal variability caused by the heterogeneous soils and challenges of quantifying complex composition […]

The project intends to create AI agents for the financial services and insurance, transportation & logistics and public sector verticals. This will allow us to expand the reach and adoption of AI and GenAI at the Enterprise by adding ML capabilities as part of the intelligent automation solutions we build. The candidate will be responsible […]

The proposed project focuses on developing unobstructive photodetectors and imagers technology using advanced semiconductors for discreet surveillance applications. By leveraging expertise in sensor technology, the project aims to create inconspicuous imaging solutions integrated into everyday items, addressing privacy concerns associated with traditional photodetectors. The partner organization stands to benefit from the innovative and ethically responsible […]
