This project, led by Women’s College Hospital’s Institute for Health System Solutions and Virtual Care (WIHV), will evaluate the implementation of Registered Nurse (RN) prescribing in Ontario. Through focus groups with prescribing and non-prescribing RNs, the project will identify barriers and enablers to adoption, as well as organizational and system-level factors influencing uptake. Findings will […]

This project goes beyond routine marketing activities by establishing a data-driven, strategic approach to community building and social media platform engagement. The initiative will provide us with the insights, tools, and strategies needed to transform Tribe’s marketing media into an active one. By increasing engagement, we will be better positioned to deliver on Tribe’s mission […]

The Healthcare Kiosk Project aims to enhance access to timely medical care by deploying self-service, automated kiosks that enable patients to conduct virtual doctor consultations, perform basic blood tests, and collect blood samples for laboratory analysis—all without the need for an appointment. By placing these kiosks in accessible locations such as pharmacies, hospitals, and walk-in […]

Reverb Robotics provides an end-to-end auditory awareness solution for robots, but needs to validate the industrial market for its product beyond its initial sales to research labs. This project will involve an intern participating in the Lab2Market program to perform customer discovery and test the company’s business-to-business (B2B) assumption. The intern will then work to […]

Protvac aims to unlock the dark proteome against cancer by uncovering novel therapeutic targets. Studies show the non-coding DNA (dark genome) that has been thought to be irrelevant till now can translate into previously unannotated targets. In one proteogenomic study of human tumors, nearly 90% of tumor-specific antigens came from non-coding regions areas that standard […]

This project will develop two integrated boil-off gas recovery and re-liquefaction systems for liquefied natural gas and liquefied hydrogen carriers that harness ship exhaust heat and convert it into usable energy through the Kalina power cycle and water-ammonia absorption refrigeration unit. Unlike conventional re-liquefaction systems that require burning additional fuel to produce cooling, the proposed […]

The proposed project focuses on developing and testing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for capturing CO2 from both the air and seawater. The intern will identify promising MOF materials, conduct laboratory experiments to measure CO2 uptake, and use computational and machine learning tools to predict performance and optimize designs. The project also includes evaluating the costs, energy […]

Quiecean develops a Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) device that reduces underwater noise and pollutants to protect marine ecosystems. The project validates its technical design and business model for commercialization in Canada’s blue economy.

This project aims to convert seafood waste such as shells, bones, and seaweed trimmings into valuable nanoparticles using nanotechnology. Instead of discarding these materials, they will be transformed into eco-friendly products for use in agriculture, medicine, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. The nanoparticles will help improve soil health, enhance crop nutrition, clean polluted water, and […]

MeasleScan FET is a portable biosensor that uses field-effect transistor (FET) technology to detect measles virus rapidly at the point of care. Unlike current tests such as PCR and ELISA, which are accurate but slow, costly, and lab-dependent, this device delivers real-time, label-free detection directly from clinical samples. The goal is to provide a low-cost, […]

This project will validate the market and technical feasibility of Silver Vantage Software’s privacy-preserving thermal fall-detection system for senior care. The system uses small thermal sensors to detect falls automatically without recording identifiable images, protecting resident privacy while improving response times. Through this project, we will engage healthcare partners and facility operators to confirm product […]

Aquaculture and coastal water treatment facilities across Atlantic Canada and beyond are facing increasing challenges in maintaining reliable water quality. Marine environments are burdened by nutrient runoff, pathogens, and pollution that directly impact fish health, leading to frequent contamination events and yield losses of 10–30%. These losses translate into millions of dollars in damages annually […]
