In rheumatoid arthritis care, patients face long waits and frequent appointments. Using a patient-initiated follow-up model can help patients avoid unnecessary appointments and reduce wait times, but this only works if patients have enough support to manage their disease. Physical activity is essential for managing RA, but many people with RA do not have enough […]

The quantum internet is predicted to have a substantial impact on our modern society, enabling the transfer of information through networks (so-called quantum networks) with unprecedented security compared to our current, classical protocols. Although small-scale, proof-of-principle quantum network experiments using photons (quanta of light) have already shown great promise, the scaling of these experiments into […]

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 […]

Amid the ongoing climate crisis, there’s a surging demand for initiatives that prioritize climate action. Communities are seeking solutions to their environmental challenges that not only allow them to adapt and thrive but also position them as catalysts for change. Non-profit organizations, such as the Biosphere Institute of Bow Valley, play a pivotal role in […]

The project is on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Flame Retardant Textile used for the Production of Occupational Safety Clothing with focus on the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Industry, and the results of the research will provide data for the partner company to be able to provide information and guidance at different steps in the […]

This project, a collaborative effort between TU Munich and the University of Calgary, aims to use an innovative electrotactile tongue display system for robotic teleoperation in surgery. In robotic-assisted surgeries, surgeons lack the direct ‘touch’ feedback that traditional surgery offers, often leading to a reliance on visual cues for force application. This gap can affect […]

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are a critical cardiovascular disease with a mortality rate over 80% when ruptured. With limited treatment options, especially for early-stage aneurysms, this project proposes the use of a novel therapeutic to limit growth and effectively treat early-stage AAA. The overall objective is to develop and evaluate the efficacy of stem cell delivery […]

This project is dedicated to unveiling how proteins within cell membranes adapt to their surroundings, particularly the lipid environment. Employing computer simulations and machine learning (ML), we focus on RAS signaling proteins and Mga2 transcription factors. RAS proteins, crucial for cell growth and division, are anchored to the cellular membrane and often exhibit mutations in […]

Light Rail Transit (LRT) is a vital mode of public transportation that allows efficient movement of people and goods throughout Canada, and especially in major cities. Contrary to highway and traditional rail bridges, LRT bridge design issues have received little attention, although most of the major Canadian cities have LRT systems. Currently there exists no […]

This project aims to help the grain broker Johnston’s Grain achieve two key goals. First, it will research and develop a comprehensive strategy for expanding their export of Canadian grains and oilseeds into emerging markets in Asia and Africa. This includes analyzing market demand, trade regulations, and competitive landscapes to identify promising new countries to […]
