This project focuses on developing innovative, biocompatible microrobots for targeted drug delivery, particularly in cancer treatment. By integrating smart hydrogels with magneto-active properties, these tiny robots can navigate the body and deliver highly precise chemotherapy drugs, reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. Advanced 3D microfabrication techniques, such as two-photon lithography and digital light processing, […]

This project will support Abilities Manitoba, a not-for-profit organization that advocates for people with intellectual disabilities. The intern will assist in developing tools, resources, and processes that strengthen advocacy and build capacity within the community living sector. The project will help the organization communicate better, improve collaboration, and gather feedback from member agencies. These efforts […]

The Bloorview Research Institute (BRI) is exploring innovative ways to leverage its vast research data holdings to generate value and advance its missions. While this data holds significant potential value for external stakeholders across healthcare, academia, and industry, the organization currently lacks a strategy for ethical and sustainable monetization. The innovative challenge at hand is […]

A Patient-Centered and Visually Attractive Toolkit Adapted to Children and Youth to Reduce Inhaler Impact on Carbon Footprint in Ambulatory and Outpatient Settings 1) Introduction/Background: Carbon footprint (expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent, CO2e) is the preferred method to measure our impact on climate change. Healthcare represents 4.6% of total Canadian greenhouse gases emissions, and in […]

This project uses AI and smart thermostats to predict heatwaves in Canada, helping protect public health. By analyzing indoor and outdoor temperature data, we aim to improve heatwave forecasting and understand how extreme heat affects indoor spaces. Using machine learning, we develop models to predict future indoor temperatures, supporting better planning and response strategies. The […]

Globally, there have been challenges in pulling together data, analyses, epidemiological insights, and unusual infection disease trends into comprehensive and regular reporting, that support pharmaceutical and life sciences organizations with timely intelligence for decision making. BlueDot has the knowledge and expertise to bring together these insights in a highly visual, easily understandable regular reporting format, […]

We propose the construction of novel ultrasound transducer structures based on existing MEMS technology that has been in development through collaboration between Micralyne and Prof. Roger Zemp. We will be exploring linear array transducers intended for medical imaging, and individual transducers for automotive use for ultrasound range finding. We will undertake the design, modelling, fabrication, […]

Le projet consiste à développer un agent conversationnel intelligent, c’est-à-dire un assistant virtuel capable de répondre aux questions en utilisant des informations scientifiques fiables. Contrairement aux outils classiques de recherche sur Internet, cet agent est conçu pour fournir des réponses basées uniquement sur des données validées par des experts et provenant de sources reconnues en […]

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is the largest paediatric hospital in Canada, and partners both locally and globally to improve the health of children through the integration of care, education, community advocacy, and patient/family partnerships. As a cornerstone of the work of the Division of Infectious Diseases, immunization is one of the most important […]

This project aims to develop advanced machine learning models to analyze arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveforms from patients in intensive care units (ICUs). By using a large dataset and cutting-edge techniques like transformer architectures and contrastive learning, the goal is to create models that can accurately predict patient outcomes, such as ICU mortality and hospital […]
