Food systems are integral to community health and well-being yet face overlapping challenges in Northwestern Ontario. This project begins the process of conducting a comprehensive food system assessment and planning process for the City of Thunder Bay and the surrounding communities through its local food policy council, the Thunder Bay + Area Food Strategy (TBAFS). […]

The increased pressure of natural resource depletion and environmental issues have largely promoted the search of renewable energy sources such as solar energy. Solar energy can be converted to electric power through photovoltaics (PV), but this requires PV panels and the latter have efficiencies as low as 20%. An alternative way is solar heating systems […]

Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide, yet only one third of patients with depression receive care. This is because the traditional in-person format of mental health care delivery can be inaccessible, inefficient, and expensive. Electronic cognitive behavioural therapy (e-CBT) has been shown to be an effective solution to expand care access, efficiency, and […]

Reinforcement learning has caught significant attention in the past decade with landmark successes including deep Q-net applied to video games and AlphaGo for the game of go. However, the gap is still wide when it comes to application to real world problems mainly due to high training cost. We propose to develop a digital model […]

With the 2021 commitment to develop a National School Food Policy, Canada joins other G7 countries and much of the industrialized world in prioritizing the health, education and development of children, by ensuring they have access to healthy food at school every day. This research will investigate existing school food programs (SFPs) across Canada and […]

In collaboration with our Chief Technical Officer and our Advisory team, the intern will help develop and launch the rules-based engine that optimizes and validates diagnosis and billing codes. This work will involve review of various documents, including but not limited to billing reference guides, the provincial health insurance plan schedule of benefits (e.g., OHIP […]

Digital twin technology creates a digital replica of a physical object, such as a human, device, system, or process that mirrors the actual process with full knowledge of its historical performance. It has the advantage of enabling agility and convergence of understanding to support more effective decision-making and resource allocation optimization. Aleo Canada (noted as […]

Recognizing that inefficiencies in the housing sector are contributing to the housing affordability crisis, Garrison intends to address problems such as the lack of housing supply, slow and challenging entitlement processes […]

Wearable medical devices (SWDs) are emerging as powerful patient monitoring and data collections tools. These smart, multiplexed devices allow us to quantify dynamic biological signals in real time through highly sensitive and miniaturized biosensors. SWDs can enable monitoring at risk patients at home, diagnosing early disease progression, and reducing healthcare expenditures by means of prediction […]

The most popular type of 3D printing globally uses plastic filament. Historically, this has been done with only one plastic at a time. 3D printers can now use multiple materials and/or colors to be part of a single print. Unfortunately, today multi-material 3D printing results in a lost of waste plastic and the associated environmental […]
