This project aims to maximize the accessibility of an existing validated computer tablet-based brain health assessment tool. Specifically, we wish to expand the assessment tool to a web-based platform and improve its ability to rate a user’s performance in a personalized way. Currently, there are few choices for clinicians to test rule-based skilled performance needed […]

Popular content-driven websites like YouTube, Vimeo and Soundcloud receive a large amount of content annually and are visited by billions of users world-wide. However, the majority of the content on these sites has little to no structure. For example, many videos on YouTube are only found in the personal playlists and have virtually no user […]

Le sens donné à la philanthropie culturelle par les entreprises du Québec est un phénomène ayant été relativement peu étudié jusqu’à maintenant. Or, mieux comprendre cela peut jouer une fonction stratégique pour les institutions culturelles qui, face à un financement étatique insuffisant, cherchent à atteindre une plus grande autonomie financière. C’est le cas du Théâtre […]

Les problèmes de douleur chronique reliés à des troubles musculosquelettiques affectent une grande partie de la population et les coûts directs (visite médicale, traitements, médicaments) et indirects (absentéisme au travail, productivité réduite) sur le système de santé sont extrêmement élevés. Pour améliorer le diagnostic, la planification chirurgicale et le suivi des pathologies de la colonne […]

This research project deals with the question of using multimedia computer applications for training Nursing students or professionals to identify heart and lung sounds as part of an overall health assessment session. The new design for this Nursing training application will support a wide array of mobile devices, by using novel technologies such as HTML5, […]

Myofascial pain syndrome can lead to chronic pain. With fatigue or trauma, muscle spindle reflexes activate spinal motoneurones causing them to fire constantly leading to spasm. These reflex signals can also be transmitted to the brain as well. It could be hypothesized that if massage therapy (roller massager included) could regulate cortical and spinal motoneurone […]

This project will enable customers to be able to track their scheduled jobs with technicians on their mobile devices. The work will see the development of an application that can facilitate customers to view the locations of technicians on a map and scheduled appointments with them. The technicians can set their status as “available” and […]

L’un des plus grands défis pour le système de soins de santé québécois est l’augmentation des coûts et du fardeau social associés aux maladies chroniques. Parmi celles-ci, les maux de dos sont responsables de la majeure partie des coûts engendrés par les conditions qui touchent le système musculosquelettique. Nombreux sont les patients qui consultent en […]

Ce projet est une phase II d’un précédent stage financé par Mitacs en 2021. Elle vise à ancrer davantage la politique dans le territoire en établissant une démarche d’évaluation de son impact social dans le milieu. Toujours à partir d’une approche de co-construction, nous souhaitons dans cette phase II : 1) Établir un plan d’action […]

This study aims to assess the improvement in muscle strength in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) after undergoing hip arthroscopy. FAI can cause severe hip pain and functional limitations, potentially leading to early osteoarthritis. While arthroscopic treatment often have good results, dissatisfaction rates can be as high as 30%. This research investigates the potential benefits […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This research project aims to develop a ready-to-use model for predicting detailed wind patterns at wind farms to help the industry better plan turbine placements and forecast energy output. Wind speed data is usually available at a large, low-detail scale, which makes it hard to predict specific site conditions accurately. Generating high-resolution wind data using […]
