Mector is a user-friendly communication system designed to support seniors with dementia, helping them live independently at home while providing peace of mind to their family caregivers. Dementia often poses significant daily challenges, leaving family members feeling stressed and concerned about their loved one’s safety and well-being, especially when they are alone. Mector addresses these […]

Thermal bridging is a significant challenge in building design, increasing heat loss, raising energy demand, and reducing occupant comfort. As awareness of its impact grows, Canadian building standards are evolving to mandate more sustainable and energy-efficient construction practices. However, existing solutions for mitigating thermal bridging, particularly in balconies, are often ineffective, difficult to install, or […]

This project will explore the market potential of a new technology that uses advanced artificial intelligence, powered by both classical and quantum methods, to help companies discover new materials faster and more efficiently. The intern will work closely with mentors and industry experts to identify which industries can benefit the most from this innovation and […]

The study team has developed a software program called SHARP-VT that doctors can use to quickly plan non-invasive treatments of irregular heart-beats using external-beam radiation therapy. In this study the candidate will conduct a detailed review of the commercialization potential for this software program in the North American and European Union markets. This review will […]

In collaboration with the Lab2Market Validate program, our goal is to transition our natural polymer-based wound dressing from the lab bench to commercial scale. Designed specifically for individuals with chronic wounds and fragile skin conditions, our hydrogel-based dressing aims to fill a critical gap in the market. Through the program, we seek to deepen our […]

Wonder Guard is an advanced catheter bag system that uses electrochemical biosensors and machine learning to detect urinary tract infections (UTIs). The device is a module add-on to existing hospital catheter systems that can continuously produce and analyze data to monitor UTIs, with faster results than standard urine cultures and richer insights than urine dipsticks. […]

The proposed project focuses on launching an augmented reality sensorimotor training (ARST) system to help individuals with chronic neck pain (CNP) manage their condition more effectively. ARST is designed as an engaging, non-invasive, and accessible at-home therapy that retrains sensorimotor control using augmented reality technology. The project aims to validate the business model, integrate ARST […]

This project aims to develop an innovative and novel cybersecurity solution tailored for Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), focusing on smart risk assessment and automated network segmentation. Many SMEs lack full visibility into their IT infrastructure, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats. This project will study the challenges and needs of SMEs across different […]

SenseOn-Pro is a small wearable fingertip device that uses photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor data combined with advanced algorithms to measure many different health markers and events simultaneously. It enables non-invasive, continuous monitoring of multiple chronic health conditions. The device allows the assessment of blood glucose without the need for blood pricking, which is an important component […]

Cellular imaging enables the study of diseases in myriad ways, consequently impacting human health. Through visualizing individual cells, clinicians are able to diagnose diseases and scientists are able to develop drugs to treat them. There are many powerful tools to visualize cells, including fluorescence and electron microscopy. However current common imaging techniques fall short for […]

MRCK is an enzyme that has shown promise as a target for the development of new drugs to treat several aggressive cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM) and high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). BDP9066 is a highly potent and selective inhibitor of MRCK reported first in 2018. Despite excellent activity profile, BDP9066 is not a realistic […]

Vancouver Cycling Without Age Society is a registered charity and volunteer-powered organisation based in Vancouver that provides recreational trishaw (3-wheeled bikes with a 2-person bench on the front) rides to seniors, and their families. Our goal is to break seniors free from social isolation and loneliness and help them to smile and reconnect with their […]
