Venipuncture is a widely performed yet error-prone medical procedure, posing risks to both patients and healthcare workers due to reliance on visual inspection and palpation for vein access. High rates of needlestick injuries, repeated insertion attempts, and challenges with difficult patient populations highlight the need for safer, more reliable solutions, especially amid workforce shortages and […]

This project aims to develop an innovative biosensor that can continuously and non-invasively monitor clot formation in whole blood or plasma in real time. By combining microwave-based sensing technology with artificial intelligence, the system provides accurate, real-time information on coagulation dynamics without the need for complex laboratory instruments. The technology will help healthcare and biomedical […]

Ruken Family Office Corporation is an investment firm specializing in data-driven strategies, risk modeling, and computational finance. As financial markets become increasingly reliant on high-performance computing, emerging technologies like quantum computing have the potential to reshape computational methodologies. However, the scalability and practical viability of quantum computing remain uncertain. This project aims to identify which […]

Today we are failing to properly and completely treat organic wastewater which results in large amounts of sludge buildup and many untreated emerging contaminates that are shaping and changing our environment. If we ignore this problem: we will see an increased need for resources to development new and very expensive mechanical processes to manage sludge, […]

We’re developing a user-friendly, portable ultrasound system with built-in artificial intelligence to measure important beef carcass qualities like marbling, backfat, and ribeye area directly on the farm, in real time. This system includes a handheld scanner that connects to a small device. The device instantly analyzes the ultrasound images and shows straightforward results on a […]

Medication non-adherence is a major challenge in Alzheimer’s care. Fewer than half of patients take their medications as prescribed, leading to faster disease progression, preventable hospitalizations, and significant emotional and financial strain for families and caregivers. Traditional pillboxes and reminder apps have not solved this issue — they are not designed for people living with […]

While outdoor navigation systems like Google Maps have become highly advanced, finding efficient paths indoors such as inside hospitals, airports, or shopping malls remains a major challenge. Most existing indoor navigation tools are static, meaning they cannot adapt to real-time changes such as crowded areas or accessibility barriers. They also rarely account for the diverse […]

Female breasts experience large displacements during physical activities such as running and jumping. This can lead to problems such as breast discomfort, and even chronic neck and back pain. However, correctly designed sports bras can alleviate some of these symptoms, and enable women to exercise with greater comfort. lululemon Athletica strives to develop a sports […]

Wyvern Inc., an Edmonton-based satellite imagery company, is partnering with Dr. Joanna Wong’s lab at the University of Calgary to develop lightweight, durable satellite components using advanced composite materials and additive manufacturing. Prototypes will be tested to ensure they withstand the harsh conditions of space, strengthening Canada’s space supply chain and advancing national priorities in […]
