My project’s goal is to create an efficient application that would demonstrate the prediction of the survival and mortality risks of a certain patient generated by a deep learning algorithm, and provide doctors with all the relevant data surrounding this prediction. I am going to work on the ways to implement this application into doctors’ […]

Social determinants of health, including factors such as social isolation, food insecurity, and income, play a big part in our health. To account for these important social factors, some healthcare organizations have begun to adopt a strategy called social prescribing which involves regularly asking people if they need help with social determinant of health issues […]

Lower limb prosthesis users typically wear a silicone liner on their residual limb, which is the interface between their body and the prosthetic socket. Knowing the in-socket pressure distribution is extremely beneficial in ensuring proper socket fit and thus better gait and higher quality of life for amputees, considering the need of amputees for a […]

Pedicle screws are used often in a spinal fusion to add support and strength to the fusion while it heals. Traditionally, a large incision is made to implant screws and rods that stabilize the spine. In contrast, percutaneous pedicle fixation is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique, performed through the skin without a traditional large […]

Canada has enormous potential to recover renewable energy and chemicals from over 18 million tonnes of waste generated annually while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with landfilling that account for 13% of national methane emissions. The proposed project will develop the fundamental science and technologies needed to realize sustainable waste to chemicals manufacturing […]

Based on the intersection of: (1) the lack in understanding the effects of COVID-19 on various municipal sectors; and (2) the necessity of integrating Indigenous perspectives and data concerning contemporary Indigenous communities within the Kingston area, in informing how to build resiliency, Indigenize projects, and decolonize research, this research seeks to Indigenize the Kingston Resiliency […]

Our goal is to achieve environmental sustainability while facing severe resource constraints (including a lack of financial resources, skilled labor, and available power sources) by using innovative and non-conventional technologies. Agricultural products have been demonstrated to be an effective alternative to conventional treatment systems for the adsorption-based removal of hazardous heavy metals such as chromium […]

Physical activity is an important part of children’s development. However, a majority of Canadian children are not meeting the national recommendation of 60-minutes of physical activity. To counter this issue, London’s Child and Youth Network (CYN) developed the ACT-i-Pass Program, a physical activity program that offers free recreational programming to grade 5 children in the […]

Uroflow is an important tool in the urology clinic for assessing and managing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). These include things like urinating very frequently or difficulty with your stream. Uroflow typically involves urinating into weight-sensing collection vessel that records urine flowrate. Although non-invasive, these systems have limitations. Patients typically undergo testing in uncomfortable and […]

Achievement of competence in medical interventions requires practice, and early stages of practice are best done in simulation, typically using some combination of digital (computer generated) and physical (mannequin) models. The overall objective of the pro;osed MITACS Globalink project is to design, implement and evaluate a practical embodiment of the novel low-cost ultrasound-guided kidney intervention […]

The IBM DLPS software is used to provide an intelligent interface system that enables a ship’s Command System to interface to Tactical Data Links for the exchange of information with other friendly units. The DLPS software integrates the ship’s Command System data with the tactical networks of data links. IBM would like to expand and […]

Lung ultrasound is an efficient and widespread method used in bedside diagnostic examinations. The interpretation of ultrasound in emergency care is an extremely difficult task, especially for less experienced physicians. The objective of the project is to implement and validate comprehensive AI-based approach using deep learning to assist in identifying diagnostically relevant imaging features and […]
