Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive chronic condition that is associated with aging and is characterized as joint pain. Individuals with early-stage OA usually attempt to treat their OA with pain medication therefore Alberta pharmacists can be seen as a first point of contact for these individuals to access appropriate care. Education, self-management, and exercise […]

MOTTIV Technologies and researchers from the University of Alberta will collaborate to create an “AI coach” which is a language based chatbot that will speak to athletes who use the MOTTIV app about a defined list of instances that are critical for a successful coach-athlete relationship. The goal is to make the chatbot called Coach […]

There is a large number of visually impaired people all over the world according to the World Health Organization. It reduces their mobility significantly as they may bump into obstacles. Robust real-time obstacle avoidance would be very helpful to increase their mobility. The main objective of this project is to develop a robust and fast […]

This project aims to develop, evaluate, and apply advanced solutions and techniques for assisting industrial plant operators in decision-making during abnormal situations, thereby improving plant safety and reliability. Currently, plant operators receive too many alarms, making it difficult to respond effectively. In industrial facilities, developing strategies for sustainable Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) performance and […]
