Currently there are few standards for evaluating service delivery, and since health care service delivery is a domain of the provinces, new health care services need to be tested and evaluated in each province before being widely offered. This leads to inefficiency in evaluations as well as unequal access to new services across the country. […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole world by the spread of a new respiratory virus (SARS-CoV-2), posing a significant burden on the society and the health system. Rapid and selective detection of pathogens, like SARS-CoV-2 virus, in clinical samples, food, water and the environment at large is crucial in diagnosis and breakout prevention. Conventional […]

Burns are a common type of skin injury that cause numerous deaths around the world every year. Timely assessment of burns plays an important role in a successful treatment. Traditionally, burns are assessed through visual and tactile observation by clinicians. This method of assessment is highly inconsistent as it depends on the availability of a […]

The project involves modifying silicone with phenolic antioxidant as an agent that will enable the ability for the silicone to be used as a dielectric for elastomer actuators which have biomedical devices and soft robotics applications. The outcome of the project would be the discovery of new sustainable way to synthesize dielectric elastomer with green […]

There is an urgent need for carbon free sources of energy to mitigate the climate change effects. Hydrogen is a very promising fuel to transition to climate-friendly energy and sustainable energy future. However, most hydrogen is produced from carbon sources and thus undesired emissions are unavoidable during the production. One key solution is to use […]

As much of the performing arts activity has moved to the virtual space over the past eighteen months, an effective online presence, as well as an efficient way to reach potential audiences has become essential for arts organizations everywhere. Information that can be machine processed effectively is key to a successful online presence. However, existing […]

A lot of digital data is produced on a daily basis with high speed and complex formats. It is challenging to work and deal with such data. Data is in different formats from different sources and it is hard to organize, search and retrieve data. This makes it difficult to organize, clean and analyze data. […]

The technology vertical is rather fragmented. More specifically, solutions providers with offerings such as cloud platforms and managed services oftentimes only offer that one solution. This project will attempt to address the fragmentation of the industry via consolidation of key players. Consolidation and acquisitions can only be achieved by obtaining a certain amount of capital, […]

Combined water management system including integrated composting toilets, greywater diversion with biological filtration, and rainwater harvesting for irrigation. Avoids the use of traditional septic fields or tanks in an effort to create a safe, decentralized, low maintenance, and repeatable holistic water and waste management system that does not contribute to soil nutrient depletion, erosion, or […]

Two pharmaceutical products for the treatment of neurological diseases developed by Neuractas Therapeutics require fine tuning to enhance their solubility, bioavailability and stability towards relative humidity. Extensive experimental research will be carried out to improve the polymorphic distribution of the products by high through-put crystallization to improve the solubility of one of the products. In […]

Trimac faces a challenge in developing quality customer leads for our financial offering. The process we currently employing is tracking news published in industry newsletters and finding contact information for companies in the news item. This approach has been somewhat successful but improvement is warranted as it certainly has not identified the full universe of […]

MEGA InTech aims to maintain healthy workers and prevent injuries. This research will advance a smart insole to deliver analyses of ambulatory gait and posture. Specifically, signal processing and sensor fusion algorithms to deliver detailed metrics of gait and occupational ergonomics will be developed. The proposed methodology will leverage the partner’s prototype insole sensor hardware […]
