This project focuses on validating the real-world use and integration of an advanced, AI-enabled platform designed to improve prenatal care through early detection of conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. Rather than simply testing technical performance, the project places strong emphasis on human factors engineering and understanding how healthcare professionals interact with new technology […]

Contemporary machine learning has been very successfully applied to processing static images and words in consumer applications, resulting in billions of dollars in recent acquisitions of machine learning companies by Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Google. However, applications to dynamic information (e.g. movies, controlling robotics) has been less well-developed. In this project, will develop and apply […]

Violent online content and radicalization have become so pervasive that it is contributing to the polarization of political discourse, a fraying of the social fabric, and to widespread human rights violations. Moonshot is devoted to ending online harms and protecting vulnerable individuals. It has developed and built technological tools to help governments identify and disrupt […]

We are seeking to bring to market a new moisture barrier layer for firefighting and other protective gear. Currently used PFAS based moisture barriers dominate the market but are responsible for causing both cancer and microplastic water contamination. Efforts to find effective alternatives are hampered by the need for replacement products to meet high performance […]

This project will help an intern develop Lumos, a made-in-Canada light therapy glasses venture that aims to improve sleep and alertness. With support from the Lab2Market program, the intern will gain practical experience in identifying target users, developing a go-to-market strategy, and collecting early product feedback. Lab2Market will provide mentorship, training, and access to a […]

The research project will use a case study approach at the proposed Transit Hub for the City of Kitchener. In its objectives, the research will focus on the opportunities for a high quality green public space/square to better integrate a new LRT line and a new GO/VIA rail station into the surrounding city. It will […]

This project will enhance an innovative telemedicine system that enables clinicians to monitor and consult with patients remotely. The system goes beyond video calls by transmitting real-time medical data from point-of-care devices. The project will focus on ensuring that personal health information is managed and stored within Canada and that the system is compatible with […]

Diabetic foot ulcers are a major complication of diabetes, often leading to serious infections and even limb amputations. These chronic wounds heal poorly due to prolonged inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue damage. This project aims to develop an advanced wound dressing that combines natural and synthetic materials with innovative nanotechnology to improve healing outcomes. The […]

Fluxscopic Ltd. is an independent video game studio currently developing its new game, “Ammonite”. Their work is important in pushing the boundaries of interactive story telling and experimental mechanics. The game centers around an avatar navigating a puzzle-based world, where players interact with objects that respond dynamically through audiovisual and tactile cues. The internship will […]

Hospital-associated disability (HAD) occurs when patients are admitted to the hospital for acute treatment, but experience an extended stay resulting in reduced functional independence (1,2). Approximately one third of older adults will become disabled as an unintended consequence of hospital admission, resulting in a significantly increased risk of being institutionalized after discharge (1–4). Frail older […]

Our project is about creating a truly usable bone glue that can safely and effectively bond to bone while naturally breaking down in the body. Right now, our bone cement doesn’t adhere well enough on its own, so we’re adding special additives to improve its adhesive properties and make it more reliable for medical use. […]
