Le maintien à domicile des personnes âgées présentant des troubles cognitifs constitue un enjeu majeur pour les systèmes de santé. Les technologies de télémonitoring basées sur des capteurs à domicile offrent des opportunités importantes pour mieux comprendre les activités de la vie quotidienne, suivre l’évolution de l’autonomie et soutenir les décisions en matière de soins. […]

The Yarmouth Collaborative Food Network (CFN) is a growing partnership working to reduce food insecurity and strengthen community well-being across the Town of Yarmouth, surrounding rural areas, and nearby First Nations communities. Coordinated by Parents’ Place, the CFN brings together local organizations, volunteers, schools, municipalities, and the Acts of Kindness Society (AOK) to deliver accessible, […]

Early-life adversity (ELA) is one of the most consistent and robust predictors of poor mental health outcomes across the lifespan. These are developmental periods characterized by high neural plasticity, in which the brain is shaped by experience. Thus, ELA can provoke detrimental, long-lasting changes in the brain and it is critical to understand the mechanisms […]

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a method to measure brain activity. It can be used to detect atypical brain development. Research has shown that EEG can be used as a clinical tool to detect early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (Bosl et al., 2018). However, measuring EEG in children diagnosed with ASD turns out to […]

Les personnes amputées du membre inférieur (PAMI) peuvent participer à des activités physiques soutenues comme la course grâce à l’utilisation de prothèses spécifiques de course (PSC). Ces prothèses leur permettent donc de remplacer les fonctions de support et de propulsion auparavant assurées par les os et les muscles des jambes afin de courir de façon […]

This project aims to collect high-quality sound recordings of diverse environments for subsequent analysis and annotation to support the training of artificial intelligence models. The project will equip the intern with the skills needed to complete their PhD at their home institution following the international experience. Both institutions will benefit from further relationship-building, as the […]

Altitude camp is a strategy in which athletes train in an environment where the air is less oxygen-rich, generally over 2,00 meters, in order to increase the body’s capacity to transport oxygen and improve performance. However, not all athletes react the same and several factors may explain these, such as sleep and menstrual cycle health. […]

Craniofacial and maxillofacial reconstruction is often limited by insufficient autologous bone and the shortcomings of current graft alternatives, which can degrade unevenly, bond poorly, or fail to support vascular growth. These issues are especially critical in cases of trauma, congenital defects, or cancer-related bone loss, where reliable, bioresorbable grafts are essential. This project evaluates and […]

Métis Family Services is a delegated child and family services agency that provides culturally grounded safety, support, and community services to Métis children, youth, and families across Surrey and the Greater Vancouver region. As the organization expands its programming and workforce, it faces a critical innovation challenge: the transition from a paper-based human resources file […]

In Canada and worldwide, health systems are facing tremendous capacity pressures with aging populations putting increasing demands on health services. Caregivers play a vital role in supporting older adults at home. Caregivers often experience distress and burnout and need help navigating the health system. The overall goal of the project is to evaluate the feasibility […]

This project develops mathematical models to investigate how tumour heterogeneity and oxygen availability influence the efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy (OVT). OVT employs genetically engineered viruses to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells, yet its therapeutic success is often hindered in hypoxic tumour regions, where low oxygen levels promote cellular adaptations that reduce viral replication and […]
