COVID-19 outbreak has changed the world and forced majority of the population to lockdown and isolation. With the lockdowns easing, and things returning to the new normal, it is important to follow the isolation protocols such as social distancing and wearing of masks for containing the outbreak. While there is no denying the efficacy of […]

Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have failed and we face an ongoing pandemic that has already infected millions of people world-wide. There are currently no drugs or vaccines that have been approved for the treatment of COVID-19, and existing blood tests for immunity suffer from inaccuracies. Moreover, since antibody or vaccine development can […]

Your Doctors Online is an online smartphone-based application that allows registered patients to chat with experienced and board-certified doctors 24 hours and 7 days a week. Patients can chat, upload images or videos, and get immediate medical advice about a variety of health issues such as cold and flu, sexual health and dermatology avoiding the […]

As location is an integral part of both population and individual health, there is an emerging role for geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) technology in health and healthcare. Novel infectious diseases such as COVID-19 are associated with population density, environmental factors, and interactions between humans and wildlife. GeoAI technology can be used to collect and analyze […]

There is recent evidence that surviving COVID-19 (particularly following ventilator use) could result in changes to how well your brain controls functions important for daily living. Currently, however, there are few choices for clinicians to test these functions prior to hospital discharge and at follow-up. This project will develop a web-based cognitive-motor integration assessment tool […]

In light of the national emphasis on climate change and clean growth, the federal and provincial governments have set key goals for developing and implementing globally sustainable production and consumption models in ways that improve the environment. The agricultural industries are seeking innovation and new technologies to develop more choices and alternatives in the raw […]

Freight service is an integral part of any business that supplies or sells physical goods. Even though its importance is often hidden from consumers, the sight of trucks and cargo vans on city streets and highways can make one appreciate the extent to which freight service impacts our lives. In North America, many carriers (i.e. […]

When blood-vessels in the brain are damaged, substances can leak from the blood into the brain. Such leakage can affect cognition and mental health, however there are currently no clinically-available tests for detecting such leakage. In this project we are developing a method for diagnosing blood-vessel leakage using MRI. We believe that this technology may […]

It is estimated that 20-50% of the energy consumed by Canadian manufacturing processes is ultimately lost via waste heat. Recovering energy from this waste heat will significantly reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of Canadian industry. The proposed research project will conduct a computer-based analysis of a novel waste heat recovery concept that […]

Pneumonia remains the single leading cause of childhood death under age 5 worldwide. The price per dose of current vaccines is high and supply is limited due to a complex manufacturing process and low yield, significantly reducing its distribution in developing nations. A newly patented vacuo dry-glycation process promises much higher efficacy than the conjugation […]

Hard-rock mining of uranium in Canada’s north is challenging and often difficult. Operating risk exposures are heightened when mining in high-grade uranium ore bodies that are exposed to possible flooding from water above the mine. To succeed in this environment Cameco has successfully mechanized their operations and relies on Jet Boring technology. This proposed project […]

This project’s objective is to create a proprietary digital platform which will allow for a faster, more accurate diagnosis of a building’s indoor environmental quality (IEQ) – at a fraction of the cost of today’s industry testing rates. The project aims to ensure that data being collected can be properly categorized and analyzed, creating a […]
