Cardiac conduction disturbances (CDs) are a prevalent complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures, which are performed by interventional cardiologists to treat heavily calcified aortic valves. CDs may emerge during or after TAVI, and are typically caused by mechanical injury to the heart’s conduction system, which can be highly challenging to prevent during the […]

This initiative aims to directly apply cutting-edge health research to improve care in long-term and assisted living facilities, bridging the gap between academic insights and practical healthcare delivery. Through a focused two-year project, facilitated by a Mitacs Business Strategy internship, we will embed a specialist intern to translate research findings into actionable improvements within these […]

The proposed project aims to enhance Ciena’s existing AXI protocol tracing solution for FPGAs by adding a timing feature through synchronized counters. This improvement will allow for more accurate data flow tracking and performance within FPGA systems. By integrating this timing capability, the enhanced module will provide Ciena with better diagnostics and debugging tools, leading […]

Comment redonner la juste valeur aux matières résiduelles issues de la production des objets? Le projet est une collaboration entre le fabricant de luminaires Lambert et Fils et l’équipe de recherche de Guillaume Sasseville, professeur en design des objets à l’École de Design de l’UQAM. Le projet consiste à concevoir, à analyser les opportunités et […]

The long wait for pediatric rehabilitation requires that service providers support families in new and innovative ways while they wait for service. Tiered service delivery is a model where each tier represents a higher intensity of service. The first tier provides Universal Resources; supports that can benefit all children. KidsAbility is building a Universal Resource […]

This project will be conducted in collaboration with Island Nature Trust (INT) to develop a user-friendly digital platform for volunteers in their Coastal Guardian and Conservation Guardian Programs. Currently, the organization faces an innovation challenge in coordinating and supporting a geographically dispersed network of volunteers, many of whom have limited technical experience. Also, existing processes […]

This project develops an AI-powered clinical scribe designed specifically for mental-health therapists. Many therapists spend excessive time on documentation, often losing 5–10 hours per week to paperwork. Existing medical transcription tools are not built for psychotherapy and fail to meet privacy or workflow needs. Our project will create and test a privacy-first, therapist-friendly prototype that […]

Le modèle d’affaires actuel des fermes collectives au Québec ne leur permet pas de dégager des marges de profit suffisantes pour rivaliser avec les grands joueurs de l’agro-industrie, ce qui mène la plupart du temps à des difficultés importantes en matière de rentabilité et de prévisibilité du financement pour ce type d’organisation. Ce projet vise […]

NeviSight is an AI-powered platform that transforms retinal imaging into faster, more accurate, and more accessible eye disease detection. Designed as a decision-support tool, it aims to integrate seamlessly with existing fundus cameras and clinical workflows, providing clinicians with real-time lesion segmentation and risk insights. Our completed prototype combines a proprietary hybrid AI model with […]

M.I. Understanding is a community-centered educational organization that supports families, caregivers, educators, and children as they navigate important social and developmental challenges. Through online learning modules, original puppeted educational videos, and curated guidance to external supports, the organization builds understanding around childhood mental health, PRIDE education, and an upcoming expansion into Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder […]

This project focuses on developing and evaluating automated methods for analyzing complex no-code automation workflows used in enterprise environments. Platforms such as Workfront Fusion and Make.com allow organizations to build powerful automations quickly, but as these workflows grow in size and importance they often become difficult to understand, maintain, and safely modify. Changes are frequently […]

This project develops and validates a tandem parking simulation and operating framework for large commuter organizations such as hospitals, universities, and municipal complexes facing persistent parking shortages. Conducted in partnership with pointA, a non-profit supporting sustainable commuter programs, the study explores how assigning two vehicles to a shared stall can safely and reliably increase effective […]
