Heart failure is a common cardiovascular disease that is becoming even more prevalent worldwide. The current gold standard treatment for end-stage heart failure is heart transplantation. However, heart transplant therapy is a limited option due to the available number of donors, thus heart pumps emerged to offer circulatory support to patients in the heart transplant […]

Building energy consumption prediction is becoming increasingly vital for energy management, equipment efficiency improvement, cooperation between building energy and power grid, and so on. However, it is still hard work to obtain accurate prediction results because of the complexity of the building energy behavior and the frequent undulations in the energy demand. In the building […]

Logibec Readmission AI is a predictive intelligence tool that accurately identifies the patient’s likelihood of being readmitted within 45 days of discharge. Rigorously and ethically developed with machine learning techniques in partnership with three large healthcare organizations in Québec, the predictive model uses reliable, accessible and timely clinical-administrative and sociodemographic data to provide clinically relevant […]

7.2. Public Project Overview: We’d like to address the issue of 3D reconstruction from 2D images. This means developing a machine learning algorithm that can take a regular photo as an input and generate a full 3-dimensional reconstruction of the contents of the photo. Such technology can be used creatively or to help the coming […]

The widespread use of antimicrobial compounds in recent years has led to a pronounced increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria. These resistant organisms require increased doses of strong antibiotics for prolonged periods for effective treatment. This is such a significant problem that the world health organization has put in place a global action plan […]

Power consumption optimization, space reduction, increased mobility and safety of medical devices in health care facilities while maintaining efficiency of these devices by using rechargeable battery pack are key issues for cost saving, durability and reliability, inventory control, and environmental requirements. For these reasons, more and more medical devices powered by rechargeable battery packs are […]

In school buildings, the availability of natural light, indoor temperatures and natural ventilation are factors that can improve student achievement. Biophilic architecture, which promotes a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, can be beneficial for the well-being of the occupants. However, much remains unknown about these potential benefits in cold climates and during winter. The […]

Ce projet vise à déterminer les avenues de réformes qui permettraient d’optimiser le don d’organes au Québec. Il s’inscrit dans le Plan d’action 2016-2021 pour Transplant Québec et pour le don d’organes au Québec. Spécifiquement, le cadre normatif applicable au don d’organes au Québec sera analysé puis comparé à celui de d’autres juridictions, notamment celles […]

Le projet consiste à alimenter les travaux visant la rédaction d’un livre blanc sur les registres distribués et les chaînes de blocs au Québec. Cet exercice permettra d’atteindre différents objectifs. Entre autres, il servira à présenter les registres distribués et les chaînes de blocs de manière simple afin de contribuer à leur acceptabilité sociale; à […]

The Internet of things is a global infrastructure that enables advanced services by interconnecting physical and virtual things like smartphones, sensors, computers, machines or buildings. These devices typically create enormous amounts of data that can be used to create business value. Mnubo offers a software dubbed Smart Objects that is a comprehensive, full stack IoT […]

The proposed project aims to understand and optimized the performance of hydrogen production from renewable energy sources using PEM electrolysis cell. Experimental study of PEM electrolysis cells will be conducted at the University of Tokyo along with numerical simulation. Three-dimensional numerical model using ANSYS Fluent Electrolysis module will be developed. Fluid flow, heat and mass […]

Les forces armees canadiennes sont appelees a consolider leur presence eta intensifier leurs operations dans le Nord canadien. La plupart de ces operations requierent des infrastructures (batiments, chemins et pistes d’atterrissage) et une grande capacite de mobilite terrestre. Les environnements pergelisoles qui caracterisent une grande proportion du territoire nordique Canadien sont potentiellement tres instables et […]
