The project will enable contactless measurement of blood glucose using remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology using patients’ face or finger videos which is a comparatively new artefact. There is a lack of training data and the blood volume pulse (BVP) signal extracted from the videos suffer from a lot of noise resulting in poor measurement accuracy. […]

The main objective of this project is to offer efficient and commercially viable solutions for wireless power transfer to portable devices such as Recon’s wearable units. The first phase of the research is dedicated to determine pros and cons of various such techniques and the maximum power and distance for wireless power delivery to such […]

Les lésions cérébrales affectent plus de 4% de la population canadienne. Une des conséquences majeures de ce type de lésions n’est pas nécessairement physique : elle est sociale. En effet, la participation sociale des personnes cérébrolésées diminue drastiquement après un accident, ce qui génère de l’isolement et d’autres problématiques importantes liées entre autres à la […]

L’enseignement auprès des patients est un aspect crucial à la trajectoire de récupération améliorée après la chirurgie (RAAC). L’environnement numérique d’apprentissage (ENA), incluant un espace de suivi des apprentissages en ligne, représente un outil utile pour assurer un transfert d’informations plus spécifique et pédagogique. Ce projet vise à explorer l’acceptabilité, la faisabilité et les effets […]

At WorkSafeBC, an overwhelming amount of data is being produced, particularly in conversation logs between people who have an active claim with WorkSafeBC and various practitioners with whom they have regular contact (usually over the phone). These records are transcribed into text and the information is far beyond what any analyst could possibly read and […]

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

Lightweight Composite Consoles for Aerospace Applications: Carbon fiber composites used in aerospace applications are subjected to harsh environments while in service. In particular, structural components are often exposed to oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids. Over time, these contaminants may affect the material properties of the composites and thus, the mechanical behavior of the components. This […]

The Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) in Hamilton, Ontario, face a challenge as Magnolia seedlings have been escaping from their arboretum and naturalizing in nearby forested ravines over the past 12–14 years. Although RBG staff suspect these populations stem from Magnolia kobus, the presence of various cultivars and hybrids complicates identification through morphological observation alone. To […]

Le présent projet de stage porte sur la propriété Belleterre de Les Mines JAG Ltée qui est située à environ 150km au sud de Rouyn Noranda et 70km à l’est de Ville-Marie, c’est un site aurifère en contexte volcano-sédimentaire, avec zones de déformation et mise en place de veines aurifères et de formation de fer […]

Physical infrastructure designed and developed to enable this growth has been in place for 50 years or more, and an increasing proportion has reached the end of its design life. Taking dams for example, while the Canadian case is less well documented, 85% of U.S. dams will be >50 years old by 2020. In particular, […]

This project focuses on developing an innovative wound dressing that helps cool burn injuries, reduce pain, and speed up healing. The dressing will be made from natural, sustainable materials and will incorporate special components to control temperature, preventing further tissue damage and offering pain relief. Partnering with Miha Biotech, a company dedicated to creating eco-friendly […]
