Family caregivers are an essential component of care for young adults with severe mental illness including psychosis. While their involvement improves outcomes in multiple modalities, family caregivers are often overwhelmed with the care of their loved one. Currently, there are not enough resources for family caregivers of young people with severe mental illnesses. The study […]

Understanding which genes are involved in diseases is incredibly important because it helps us develop better treatments. By identifying these genes, scientists can better understand how diseases operate in our bodies and create more effective treatments. This also allows for the creation of personalized treatments based on a person’s unique genes, increasing their chances of […]

AltaML builds artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled solutions to business problems. We work with organisations, bringing together their data and domain expertise with our AI expertise, to develop AI solutions that are deployed in their operations. We also commercialize AI-enabled products business via industry-specific ventures, yielding scalability from our investment in the first solution. Competition for tech […]

This project aims to drastically improve Hyspecs Eyewear’s digital marketing strategies and business intelligence capabilities. It seeks to leverage Zach Ketter’s academic background in Business Technology Management and his academic advisor Robb Somach to address real-world business challenges. The project focuses on the development and implementation of innovative digital marketing strategies and the use of […]

In this project, the aim is to evaluate the mechanical and electrochemical properties of elastomeric polymer electrolytes according to the structure of the monomer, such as the presence of side chains and the length of alkyl groups, and to measure and analyze the properties of the polymer using various instruments. As a result, mechanisms such […]

Sulvaris is a pioneer in developing carbon control technology (CCT) and micronized sulphur technology (MST). Fertilizers developed using those technologies provide carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, increasing crop yields and soil fertility. Further studies are needed to optimize formulations for the CCT and MST products, especially their efficacy in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The main […]

The study of toxicity is to investigate the adverse effects of chemical and physical agents on living organisms and biological systems, and it is an important topic in the health and environmental sciences. In recent years, Alberta researchers has made great progress and contribution towards developing an innovative toxicity profiling program, and tremendous data sets […]

This study will focus on determining how extended reality (XR) incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles can increase job-interview skills and anxiety management among adults with autism with mild symptoms. This study will also develop to simulation one using 360-3D and the second EON-XR utilizing low-cost equipment then will evaluate the feasibility and accessibility of […]

Corrosion of electrical utility infrastructure represents a major operational challenge that currently relies on labor-intensive manual inspections. This project aims to develop an automated machine learning system to detect and assess corrosion using publicly available street-level imagery, enabling frequent, low-cost monitoring across the distribution network. The proposed methodology will leverage recent advances in object detection […]

The volumetric reduction of tailings is required to exert volumetric control on these ponds and shorten the timeline required for the reclamation of the lands occupied by the ponds. In this project we propose to harvest wind energy for fast interfacial evaporation to speed up drying process and volume reduction of highly concentrated waste slurries.

People suffering from cancer often experience loss of muscle which negatively impacts the response to cancer treatments and shortens survival. Several factors are at play to promote muscle loss. We are proposing a more relevant model to study muscle wasting that occurs during cancer treatment by utilizing skeletal muscle biopsy from patients undergoing surgery for […]

Through public and private investment, Alberta is heavily committed to the geological sequestration of CO2. Before CO2 can be stored underground, however, it must first be transported via pipeline. Thus, the possibility of pipeline rupture must be included in risk assessment models. Unfortunately, and in contrast to more typical pipeline cargo, relatively few models have […]
