Le projet vise a ameliorer la gestion actuelle du transport de messagerie-colis au CHUM. Actuellement, il y a une gestion decentralisee de la gestion de messagerie-colis et chaque departement et centre de recherche utilise un transporteur selon ses criteres. Cela s’avere tres couteux pour l’institution hospitaliere parce qu’en plus de ne pas profiter des economies […]

We will be working closely with people experiencing Covid19 symptoms that linger beyond weeks or months after getting sick, or those struggling with their mental health, especially if they are a part of the immigrant/refugee (newcomer) population in Alberta. We will be creating a virtual platform to do some music therapy and breathing exercises to […]

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease that is associated with multiple symptoms, including fatigue, pruritus, bone disease, emotional distress and impaired health related quality of life. There is evidence to support the important role of exercise and nutrition in improving symptoms and reducing disease-related complications in people with PBC. Working together with […]

With chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis affecting the spine, a major clinical problem is that disease can advance over years with unrecognized persisting inflammation. Recently, we discovered that elevated concentration of certain substances in blood considered together, are highly associated with persisting local inflammation. This study will use data gathered from the blood chemistry […]

Electronic or internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (eCBT has been implemented widely in healthcare settings, but has become even more prevalent since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting decrease in availability of face-to-face treatment. The purpose of this study is to explore the personal experiences of patients and providers who have transitioned between […]

Positional plagiocephaly is an increasingly common form of cranial deformity in infants, affecting approximately 40% of infants under the age of 1.

The Firefighter Problem is a deterministic, discrete-time model of the spread of a fire on the nodes of a graph. If a graph is a network where bank accounts are nodes, then an edge between two accounts is a transaction between one bank account and another.

Individuals with cerebral palsy generally use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices to help them interact socially. The vocabularies provided in these systems are not specifically helpful in communicating during medical emergency or hospital intensive care. This project involves user-centered design and development of a software module for use in such situations, based on a […]

The broad goal of this project is to create and implement a system which is able of assessing and classifying skin burns (and other types of skin lesions/wounds) using different state-of-the-art machine learning models and techniques such as EfficientNets, Reinforcement learning, saliency mappers, CAM, etc… The work that will be completed during this internship will […]

A significant problem identified by Dying with Dignity Canada is that there is little information available for families and informal supports (F&IS) involved in medical assistance in dying (MAID). Our 47 F&IS interviewees from across Canada also said that they had few or no resources about MAID as the health system concentrates on the person […]
