This project will support the development of an accessible, digital tool designed to help people recovering from concussions, especially students and older adults by offering step-by-step guidance and resources. Through this internship, we aim to finalize our MVP (minimum viable product) and research the best rehabilitation technologies to include on the platform. By helping advance […]

This project will support N.E.E.D.S. Inc. in delivering and improving their programs for newcomer children and youth, especially the Introduction to Canadian Education (Intro) and Enhanced Wellness (EW) programs. As a classroom assistant, I will help staff with educational activities, create learning materials, and support students’ social and emotional well-being. This work will help N.E.E.D.S. […]

La stagiaire participera à la conception d’encres pharmaceutiques pour l’impression 3D de comprimés mâchables destinés à l’usage pédiatrique. Cette nouvelle technologie permet de fabriquer de façon rapide et sécuritaire des imprimés gélifiés contenant une dose personnalisée d’un ou plusieurs médicaments. La stagiaire mettra au point de nouvelles formulations d’encres imprimables et en assurera la caractérisation, […]

Its operations are focused on delivering privacy-first digital health solutions, including health data analysis using machine learning and predictive analytics. Apex Health is committed to helping Canadian healthcare organizations optimize clinical outcomes, enhance […]

People who use wheelchairs are at higher risk for weak bones because they aren’t putting pressure on their bones—something the body needs to keep bones healthy. When bones become fragile, even small accidents can lead to fractures, which may cause serious complications like infections, pain, longer hospital stays, and even depression. Unfortunately, many wheelchair users […]

)The research proposal is designed to examine the relationship between metabolism and the autonomic nervous system during exercise and recovery. This randomized, controlled crossover design experiment will consist of three sessions. The first session is a familiarization session. The second and third sessions will be the same, except the exercise portion will be done in […]

Per clinical guidelines, patients with Type 2 diabetes and certain co-morbidities should initiate modern glucose-controlling therapies that also reduce the risk of cardiovascular and renal adverse events, such as GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i medications. But many indicated patients have not initiated these therapies, in part because some primary care doctors are uncomfortable with the complex […]

Le projet vise à développer un système d’intelligence artificielle capable de remplacer le rôle traditionnel du scribe en clinique. Actuellement, dans certaines cliniques à Montréal, les médecins se sont regroupés pour créer des formulaires comprenant des questions essentielles à poser à un patient se présentant avec certains symptômes. Par exemple, dans le cas d’un mal […]

This project aims to improve surgical simulations by developing advanced computer models to simulate how soft tissues behave during surgeries. It will focus on modeling tissue fracture and how surgical tools interact with tissue, considering factors such as tissue anisotropy, residual stresses, and complex tool geometries. Current finite element (FE) models developed at UBC assume […]

Global funding for life-sustaining therapy to treat HIV-1 has become unstable in recent years, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where 70% of the 37.9 million people with HIV (PWH) reside. Lifelong adherence to therapy is required as HIV integrates into the DNA of long-lived host immune cells, persisting quietly for decades with the potential to reactivate […]

Stress has been implicated as a significant contributor to both mental and physical illness, and has been shown to compromise psychological well-being. Emotional regulation is the process of monitoring and adjusting emotional responses to environmental stress. Heart rate variability (HRV) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have been used as biomarkers for emotional regulation. Currently, […]

We are developing a promising new technology based on extracellular vesicles (EVs, often referred to as exosomes), which are natural delivery vehicles produced by cells. These tiny particles have the potential to transform how we treat diseases by delivering therapeutic ingredients directly to where they’re needed in the body. To bring this technology to market […]
