This project is developing an innovative tool that accelerates the design process of lab-on-a-chip devices, which are crucial for the analysis of tiny liquid samples to detect the presence of pathogens or chemical substances, a process known as biosensing. The tool employs a sophisticated algorithm that leverages data from previous designs to optimize and suggest […]

Perimeter Medical has been developing a novel optical coherent tomography (OCT) technique combined with AI to analyze tissue edges quickly. This project aims to make the method faster by acquiring images more efficiently. This will help surgeons assess tissues quicker and shorten surgery times, which in turn will lead to less time for patients to remain […]

The proposed project will use microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) from the University of Maine Process Development Center (UMaine MFC) as a reference material to develop a robust dispersion, sample preparation, image capture, and image analysis methodology to determine whether it is considered a nanomaterial under different regulatory frameworks. The methodology will employ scanning electron microscopy (SEM), […]

“Health System Innovation for People Who Use Drugs (PWUD)” is an implementation project that will help translate research into co-designed supports. This project is a collaboration between individuals with lived and living experience of currently illegal (i.e., non-alcohol, non-tobacco, non-cannabis) drug use and health system partners in Edmonton, AB – Boyle Street Community Services (BSCS) […]

Our research project aims to explore two interconnected objectives: understanding the impact of dominance in the collaboration between virtual assistants and human operators, and examining how an individual’s level of dominance affects their perception of a virtual assistant’s dominance during initial interactions. To achieve these goals, we will conduct a user study where participants, interacting […]

Mokapp is a revolutionary tool designed to streamline human movement analysis for healthcare providers. Our specialized motion capture (mocap) technology offers a portable, accessible solution that significantly reduces analysis time from hours to just 5-10 minutes. Using only two cameras and a web-based system, Mokapp stands out for its efficiency and convenience compared to traditional […]

When newly registered nurses start their careers in hospitals, they face severe transition shock due to the huge gap between their learning from educational institutions and real-life healthcare environments. Due to insufficient resources for training these new nurses, hospitals suffer from a high new-nurse turnover rate and more frequent medical errors caused due to the […]

Water-based lubricants have emerged as substitutes for petroleum-based lubricants in various applications such as hydraulic fluids, cooling fluids for metal cutting, and stern tube bearings in ship propeller shafts. My STEM tech business proposes an asphaltenes-derived carbon dots (AsphaDots) lubricant which intends to solve the friction and wear problems in steel and allied materials, which […]

This project will support the development of a business strategy for a startup company based around the rollout of low-cost carbon dioxide capture technology. Through a series of workshops and from access to mentorship from individuals well versed in the start-up space, the intern/founder will gain crucial knowledge pertaining to the potential end users, structuring […]

The collaboration between BioOilSolv and Innovate Calgary aims to revolutionize bitumen recovery processes in the oil sands sector by developing biomass-derived solvents as a more sustainable and effective alternative to traditional methods. Through this project, an intern will undertake several key objectives to propel the commercialization of biomass-derived solvent technology. Firstly, the intern will focus […]
