The VT-PATCH project addresses a crucial gap in pediatric healthcare by introducing a user-friendly medical patch designed for short-term, continuous monitoring of infants and young children. Unlike the current complex system of multiple devices and wires, the VT-PATCH offers an all-in-one solution to measure vital signs like heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and […]

Princess Margaret Cancer Centre belongs to the University Health Network (UHN), Canada’s leading biomedical research organization. The Centre focuses on cancer research across various fields, including genomics, informatics, signaling, health services, and biophysics. Dr. Kumar’s lab is currently investigating the consequences of genomic alterations in intrinsically disordered regions (IDR). IDRs are present in proteins that […]

Electric power plants are the number one toxic air polluters in North America. The emitted pollutants are proven to cause serious health and environmental issues. The emission of Carbon dioxide and of other pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide – major drivers of the human-accelerated global climate change- must be monitored insitu. Our goal […]

(1) CAMH is a research hospital that aims to improve the provision of clinical care to clients with psychiatric conditions through research. Through analyses of large-scale multi-modal data and clinical trials with biological assessments, the Kimel TIGR lab seeks to identify biological bases of psychiatric conditions that can be targeted using existing and novel treatments, […]

The Temerty Centre for Therapeutic Brain Intervention aims to find new understandings of and approaches for hard-totreat mental illnesses across patients’ lifespans by delivering high quality clinical care and research using brain stimulation and psychedelic therapies. Personalized modulation of brain networks with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a promising treatment for neuropsychiatric brain disorders such […]

Pediatric therapists struggle to obtain accurate grip strength measurements because current tools were originally designed for adults. These tools require excessive hand strength and fail to engage children, leading to unreliable data. As a result, therapists often resort to subjective estimates, making it difficult to track progress, tailor treatment plans, or justify therapy to insurance […]

This project aims to enhance the safety, precision, and efficiency of robotic surgical assistants — collaborative robots designed to work alongside surgeons — by developing a computer vision-based system that prevents collisions in real time. Using cameras and advanced image processing techniques, the system will monitor the operating room, detecting people and other obstacles. It […]

The project’s goal is to investigate the use of a 2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based microfluidic channel driven electrochemical biosensor to detect AMI biomarkers. The device could be able to identify heart attacks before they happen. Therefore, it may be beneficial to reduce the enormous number of deaths brought on by this illness worldwide. […]

Nous combinons la science comportementale avec des technologies d’apprentissage profond avancées pour créer des conversations hyper personnalisées à grande échelle, transformant les transactions traditionnelles […]

The RBC Patient and Family Learning Space (PFLS) at CAMH provides free mental health education, workshops, and support to patients, families, and the community. As our programming grows, we need a stronger digital presence to reach more people. This project, funded by Mitacs, will involve two graduate public health interns researching and developing a digital […]

Meningiomas represent the most common type of brain tumours arising from the brain itself, accounting for about 30% of cases. Effective treatments like surgery and radiation exist, yet patients may continue to suffer from symptoms that lower their quality of life (QOL). Currently used tools for measuring QOL are not specific to the unique needs […]
