A textile-based solution to remotely and continuously monitor COVID-19 symptoms Myant proposes to create a wearable textile solution with a compact electronic module able to record ECG, breathing movements, chest motion and sound, skin temperature, and blood pulse (oximetry and pulse shape to estimate blood pressure) in order to monitor key physiological metrics for individuals […]

The closure of schools across Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed significant gaps in educational provision. In addition, K-12 teachers have had difficulty finding learning resources related to the programs they are responsible for teaching. When students fall behind in school, they develop a learning gap with their peers. Learning gaps are relatively common […]

Various blood clotting disorders have been associated with COVID-19. The underlying cause of the problem remains unknown. This research project aims to tease out the underlying biological causes and evaluate potential treatments.

COVID-19 is a global pandemic disease and the best way to stop it is controlling its spread and treating the infected individuals. Detailed measures of clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with COVID-19 like Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) are not accessible to a large population and require patients to spend hours waiting at the […]

Fast development of more powerful and smaller mobile electronics suggested the need for development of sustainable energy resources as well as innovative sensor systems with improved accuracy and reduced power consumption. Moreover, utilizing appropriate sustainable energy resources would be beneficial for environmental protection. Such demands resulted in a great interest toward development of the triboelectric […]

There currently are no approved treatments for COVID-19, as global case counts increase daily. High infectivity and long time-to-recovery for COVID-19 cases is straining health-care systems globally. There is an urgent need to discover therapeutics that treat patients and improve clinical outcomes. Research and Development timelines associated with vaccines and new chemical entities will not […]

One of the side effects of the COVI D-19 pandemic is that older people in institutional care tend to be more socially isolated and get less physical exercise. This is likely to increase falls risk both directly through reduced strength and balance because of insufficient exercise, and indirectly due to effects of depression leading to […]

Addem Labs is developing an office-friendly machine to manufacture single- and double- layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) on a user’s desktop. A core part of the machine is a miniature tool-changer mechanism that can pick up and use the tools required for various mechanical operations – the intern will be designing and developing this automated […]

During COVID-19, unexpected death has become more commonplace, and many are finding themselves in the unfortunate position of dealing with their loved ones’ estates while continuing to worry about their own health and well-being. In a time where we are asked to stay indoors to protect ourselves and help ‘flatten the curve’, grieving family members […]

The Master’s student will conduct the investigation of the state-of-the-art of the engine mount-damperaircraft structure technology to reduce the aircraft structural vibration. He/she will establish the framework for the modeling, based on the test and experiment procedures that are provided by P&WC. The modeling will be planned so that the model results can be verified […]

The current public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we socialize with eachother, how we access health care, and our economic conditions over a short period of time. For people who are marginalized, these changes may cause decreases in income, loss of social support and community connections, unstable home environments, […]

In order to help deal with COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need for development of fast, reliable, and sensitive tests that will be capable of detecting IgG and IgM proteins directly in people’s blood. Our novel test for detection of IgG and IgM proteins in the blood offers several major advantages compared to other […]
