Impact of environmental factors on spontaneous reporting trends and safety signal detection in the EudraVigilance database

Changes brought to the ecosystem and geopolitical environment can have an effect on several fields including the healthcare system. Recently, we observed the impact that COVID-19 pandemic has had on the healthcare workers’ practices and people’s behaviour regarding their health status. Changes in spontaneous reporting trends were also observed. Lately, Europe has also witnessed the […]

Screening DNA Methylation Signatures in Early Bovine In Vitro Embryos for Developmental Fitness

The success of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in overcoming infertility or improving livestock genetic traits is undeniable. However, the use of ART in livestock has also been associated with an increased likelihood of certain anomalies (e.g., large offspring syndrome, musculoskeletal anomalies) and neonatal mortality because of suboptimal culture conditions. Our partner, L’Alliance Boviteq (Semex) has […]

WaSave – Canadian Market for Water Leakage Detection Systems

Nearly a fifth (18%) of treated water entering Canadian water networks never reaches the end user. Many cities in Canada experience leakage rates of over 30%. Thus, there is a clear opportunity to implement new leak detection technologies, such as those offered by WaSave, to reduce water wastage. This project will analyse the Canadian water […]

Mindfulness and indigenous dance as therapeutic modality for chronic conditions

This project is about studying the effects of mindfulness and indigenous dance movement in adults with anxiety. Anxiety is a highly treatable disorder, however, less than half of people with anxiety receive treatment and the few that receive treatment, default. Social support and cultural understanding of mental illness has been identified as potential areas of […]

Apprentissage en continu de modèles prédictifs à partir de données d’électrocardiogrammes

Les électrocardiogrammes (ECG) jouent un rôle majeur dans le diagnostic d’anomalies du rythme cardiaque. Cependant, la quantité de données produites pour suivre des patients sur de longues durées devient intraitable. Heureusement, l’apprentissage automatique (ML) a été appliqué avec succès sur des tâches comme la détection de battements et la classification de type de battements. Suivant […]

Développement et validation d’un système de rétroaction portable adapté aux besoins spécifiques des para-athlètes : de l’évaluation des besoins au transfert technologique

Les technologies sont de plus en plus utilisées pour optimiser le développement des athlètes sans incapacités. Malheureusement, les para-athlètes sont peu impliqués dans ces innovations, limitant leurs accessibilités. L’objectif est de développer/valider un système d’évaluation adapté aux besoins de para-athlètes grâce à des technologies portables et facilement utilisables en contexte terrain. Spécifiquement, le projet vise […]

Leveraging Computer Vision to improve the estimation of Postural Balance.

Improving postural balance is a part of many rehabilitation programs and plays an important role in clinical evaluation of residual motor ability. The assessment of center of pressure (COP) displacement is commonly done by laboratory-grade force plates that are expensive and require specific measurement set-up. The Nintendo Wii Balance Board (WBB) was proposed as an […]
