Imagine a world where youth with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and mental health concerns can access tailored mental health services with ease. Collaborating with Sunnybrook Hospital, this research aims to make this a reality by addressing the challenges faced by transitional aged youth with IDD’s through a family focused navigation approach. Family Navigators are […]

GestureLogic is building a product that optimizes athletic performance. The product is a wearable sensory network that monitors muscle activity. The goal of this research is to take this inherently complex muscle data that is acquired by the sensory network and translate it to useful biometrics for the consumer with the help of intelligent algorithms. […]

Wildfires are a complex and growing problem worldwide. In interior British Columbia, Canada, they are becoming larger, more frequent, and severe due to two centuries of settler land management and the impacts of climate change. Of the most affected by wildfire are rural Indigenous Peoples, as their communities are often surrounded by flammable forest and […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de développer un système d’intelligence artificielle avancé capable de détecter et de classifier les baleines dans des images capturées par un drone équipé d’une caméra thermique. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il utilise des techniques de pointe telles que les réseaux neuronaux convolutionnels (CNN), la segmentation d’images, l’extraction de caractéristiques et […]

Many lessons from previous pandemics help to guide future outbreaks. This project reviews the avian influenza outbreak in Canada and applies some of the lessons learned to help mitigate the potential outbreaks of African swine fever and foot and mouth disease using a One Health approach.

The healthcare system in Canada and world-wide is suffering increased pressure due to an aging population and increased rates of chronic disease. Research shows that self-management and social networks are key indicators for reducing utilization and cost and improving outcomes of healthcare systems. Lifeguard Health Solutions Inc. has developed a mobile health application that uses […]

Engineers that design and enhance buildings widely rely on computer simulations to understand wind flows. Wind flows around buildings can affect human safety, comfort, structural safety, and the surrounding environment. Therefore, accurate and fast simulation of urban wind flows is critical to ensure safe, comfortable, and sustainable designs. If architectural engineers have access to a […]

Intent classification is a highly popular task within research communities and industries. Having a system that can classify intents of emails or messages from users can lead to a wide range of applications such as ticket routing and issue resolution. However, training such models require a large set of labeled data that might not be […]

Dans l’industrie pharmaceutique, la qualité des médicaments est de plus haute importance car elle touche des enjeux plus larges en termes de santé publique. Alors une démarche qualité est indispensable car elle est considérée comme un pilier de l’entreprise. Les organismes pharmaceutiques ont tendance de mettre en place un système de management de qualité qui […]

Tissue-resident fibroblasts and their attendant activities are central drivers of a diverse range of diseases. The overarching theme of this proposal is to develop novel fibroblast reporter lines that will enable us to identify tractable therapeutic targets to modify fibroblast activity. To identify such targets, we are proposing to carry out high throughput screens (i.e., […]

The development of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine led to a reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer in women. But in low- and middle-income countries, the adoption of HPV vaccine is low. Hence why women are more likely to develop cervical cancer in those areas. There is a lack of understanding of the patient’s point […]
