Medical devices and implants that cross the skin do not seal well with the skin, making them prone to infections and eventually failure and removal. We propose a bio-inspired coating for these devices. This coating will help these devices adhere to the skin and prevent bacteria from entering the body and causing infections. The coated […]

This project is aimed at supporting the translation of research innovation from the laboratory into the market. Our proposed innovation involves the use of a newly improved biomaterial in toothpastes to help transform oral health and hygiene. The proposed toothpaste will be effective in addressing tooth caries and discoloration, and simultaneously increase enamel hardness to […]

In Canada, heart failure (HF) has a 30-day re-admission rate of 17.6%. While patient care at home via follow-ups and self-management may reduce this rate, factors including physical fatigue and cognitive frailty delay follow-up visits and impair the patient’s ability to self-manage. An implantable solution such as CardioMEMS is available to monitor HF, however, its […]
