Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening medical condition, and it remains the primary reason for premature death (persons aged 25–64) worldwide. Therefore, early screening of cardiac biomarkers is critically important for improving survival chances. The existing methods for detecting cardiac biomarkers are multi-step approaches and require laboratory tests, which have higher test times, are […]

AltaML’s primary activities involve collaborating with traditional sectors to identify productivity and process challenges that can be addressed through applied AI. The previous cohort of interns worked on a marketing content generation use case, but for the upcoming term, students will be tasked with working on a chatbot for the Human Resource (HR) department, aiming […]

From year to year, an increasing number of people face a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders and general health problems, often caused by an imbalance in the gastrointestinal microbiota. That is why developing products to normalize the state of the microflora is a priority in creating preventive health products. It has been established that products […]

Total recordable injury rates (TRIRs) have declined significantly over the past thirty years, yet serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) have not. With the Alberta Mine Safety Association (AMSA) and member companies, we will summarize and evaluate the leading indicators for SIFs, use subject matter experts and integrative AIML to develop and assess SIF predictive measures, […]

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy when used in conjunction with clear aligner orthodontic treatment has been shown in clinical studies literature to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, reduce orthodontically induced tooth root resorption, and shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment. In-market use of LIPUS technology as an adjunct the clear aligners has grown significantly […]

Point dendrometers are indispensable for monitoring tree growth and detecting stress in forest ecosystems, offering detailed insights into cambial activity and environmental responses. The project’s goal is to harness machine learning to address data gaps and enhance the precision of trend detection in dendrometer data. This approach will also seek to identify signals of ecosystem […]

The proposed research aims to use Machine Learning Methods to interpret data obtained during the Electrical Resistivity scans in the delineation of Fracking Sand deposits in Western Canada. Traditional exploration for sand deposits involves pricey and not always efficient auger and sonic drilling on the entire investigated Property. Currently, costs associated with those operations are […]

The First Nations Health Atlas aims to comprehensively analyze diverse administrative datasets from Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services to produce holistic analytics for First Nations health in the province. The initiative’s core objectives include establishing a comprehensive roster of First Nations individuals from Bigstone, Siksika, and Maskwacis nations, analyzing disease incidence and prevalence, scrutinizing […]

The primary objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive additive/subtractive manufacturing system encompassing hardware, sensors, and software for the automated production and repair of non-critical custom industrial equipment. This innovative system integrates AI and 3D computer vision to provide robust control, continuous monitoring, and effective failure identification. Featuring a groundbreaking PC/PLC-based communication architecture, […]

Cancer management continues to be a global problem (WHO report 2022) – mainly because cancerous solid tumors (found in more than 40% patients, and in all types of cancer) become metastatic, therapy resistant and poor-responding to conventional chemo-/radiotherapy due to a condition called hypoxia (tissue with low levels of oxygen). Due to poor tumor vasculature, […]

The Edmonton Council for Early Learning and Care, the Muttart Foundation, the Community- University Partnership for the Study of Children, Youth and Families, and the United Way Capital Region partnered to survey Alberta parents/guardians about their early learning and child care arrangements from May to July 2022. Data were collected from 1,479 parents. A series […]

The construction industry heavily relies on mobile cranes for the off-site modular construction, emphasizing safety in operations. Despite standardized hand signals, inadequate and interrupted communications between mobile crane signalmen on the ground and crane operators pose significant risks of accidents, especially during blind lifts or lifts in severe weather. This research project aims to develop […]
