Copeman Healthcare Centre is engaged in a multi-year research and development program in the area of cognitive health. Cognitive health is a surrogate marker for brain health. All other technologies, such as biomarkers, electrophysiology, structural brain imaging, and functional brain imaging attempt to measure damage to the brain. Moreover, these technologies do not measure or […]

In certain scenarios, in the hospitals, oral medications need to be administrated in a liquid form using syringes in order to avoid complications such as asphyxiation due to the blocking of airways, which is common in children. Consequently, a pharmacy technician may need to fill up hundreds of syringes per day for different units at […]

Pressure ulcers are a major health concern around the world, affecting individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in particular. Pressure ulcers occur when the blood supply to the skin and underlying tissue is compromised, leading to cell death and potentially fatal infections. In this project, we are developing a soft, flexible and stretchable pressure […]

Thrive Community Support Circle has been working in cooperation and partnership with other community agencies for 47 years in order to provide their clientele with the highest quality services possible, within the context of their available financial, material, and human resources. By responding to and supporting the spiritual, material, and cultural needs of participants within […]

The position will support WINS’ Program team in building and/or upgrading innovative program database to produce SMART program outcome and impact measures, improve database scalability and efficiency in reporting. Rapid changes in charitable sector calls for creative and innovative database solutions that will produce timely, accurate and measurable impact reports to share with the community. […]

The intern will work closely with Business Support teams as WINS works to innovate databases and procedures to keep pace with the fast changing post-COVID business environment. Heavy weights will be put on innovation in technology solutions and business procedures to improve operational efficiencies and build business capacity for future growth and expansion. The intern […]

Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs) are infections involving an implanted joint prosthesis and surrounding tissue that occur following joint arthroplasties. Management of these infections is challenging and often surgical due to the antibiotic-resistant nature of the biofilm produced by infecting organisms. In 2019-2020, more than 63,000 Total Hip Arthroplasties (THAs) and 75,000 Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKAs) […]

The delivery of stroke treatment requires simple, quick, and accurate imaging to make fast treatment decisions. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is required to identify a large vessel occlusion (LVO) and medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) before removal (recanalization) by tPA and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The CTA can detect where the artery is blocked reliably by an […]

The crisis in university student mental health has intensified with COVID-19. Support for students with mental health and illness experiences and identities is now more important than ever. Prior to the pandemic students were taking matters into their own hands and working together to advocate for improved learning environments and educational experiences. This project will […]

Anastomotic Leakage is a common complication that can occur shortly after surgery and lead to increased mortality rates if it is detected too late. The current method of detection relies on monitoring clinical symptoms and visual inspection of the surgical drain fluid, but this process is often delayed and reactive. NERv Technology Inc. is dedicated […]

Epilepsy affects 65 million people globally, with 30% unable to control their seizures with medication. Implantable devices that control brain activity via electrical stimulation are an alternative treatment option; however, existing FDA-approved devices only render 13% of patients seizure-free for up to a year. NerveX Neurotechnologies has developed ANIMO (Adaptive Neural Implant for Modulation and […]

In this project I will develop a computational framework for the automatic detection of task-related biomarkers in PD patients during speech production. This framework will help us to predict the timing of electrical stimulation in STN with the purpose of understanding the role of STN in encoding different aspects of speech production. To achieve this […]
