Disabilities secondary to traumatic brain injury are a major source of burden. Specifically, patients in Ontario seeking tertiary care for persisting symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) result in health costs of over $110 million annually (Hunt et al). Numerous treatments have been utilized and studied in an attempt to treat persistent postconcussive symptoms. […]

Children and youth flourish in environments that are predictable, safe, and structured. However, this is not the case for many kids in Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted these protective factors and exacerbated risk factors. Against this background, the first objective of this study is to explore the present threats facing children and youth in […]

The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is one of the most common and effective augmentative and alternative communication systems for individuals with communication impairments, including children/youth with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, and other neurodevelopmental and communication disorders. Although PECS is empirically supported, the traditional approach to training is resource intensive in terms of treatment […]

This project aims to explore ideas from a machine learning technique called Fibered AutoEncoders (FAE) for molecular representation learning. This technique will allow us to perceive the molecular space through a topological lens using the concept of fiber bundles, and it will give us a disentangled multi-level encoding of molecules. Since the molecular space is […]

The project involves the development of a human resources information management system using Microsoft’s Office 365 including the Power Platform, Share Point and Teams. This will replace an aging information management system and will benefit the partner non-profit organization greatly by modernizing technology systems, improving work processes, and creating efficiencies HR information management.

With approximately 1 million amputations performed per year worldwide, the need for prosthetics has never been more prevalent. In particular, bionic prosthetics provide more freedom and assistance to amputees as it allows them to manipulate their prosthetic with their minds, feel their surroundings, and mimic human-like movements. Unfortunately, the cost of bionic prosthetics can range […]

Women with elevated cardiovascular disease risk can improve their health by participating in interventions that encourage health promoting behaviours, such as physical activity. However, although a person may know that they will benefit from participating in a health promotion program, there are many reasons why people do not adopt healthier lifestyles. Patients with lived experience […]

At St. Michael’s Hospital (SMH), having insight into patient flow throughout the hospital is essential to resource planning and operational efficiency. When patients are admitted, discharged, or transferred in the hospital, several actions need to be taken to ensure patients receive timely care and resources do not become backlogged. Improving patient flow reduces wait times, […]

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an emerging need of using new advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve our healthcare system to manage a massive influx of patients. Indoor geolocation techniques and optimized traffic management algorithms are substantial for serving a large number of patients in healthcare centers while respecting procedures […]

Clarius’ mission is to make accurate, easy-to-use and affordable ultrasound tools available to all medical professionals. Its handheld wireless ultrasound scanners connect to iOS and Android devices, delivering high-resolution ultrasound images traditionally only available with bulkier, high-end systems. Twenty thousand users have performed more than half a million scans since Clarius introduced its first portable […]

At the time being ISM uses the Montfort hospital databse to store and manage its research data. ISM hopes to create its own database, so that it can improve efficiency of its operations and overcome delay and other managerial barriers. Thus, the main project goal is to help the company develop a buisness model and […]
