Looking into vacant buildings in the Spence Neighbourhood in Winnipeg’s West End. I will be updating their record of vacant buildings in the neighbourhood, developing survey questions for owners of vacant buildings, and working with the City of Winnipeg to analyze by-law enforcement and emergency vehicle responses. This will help the organization work to reduce […]

Given advancements in medical and surgical technology, the number of children with medical complexity (CMC) is rising. These children, who experience multiple chronic medical conditions and require ongoing specialized therapies, are at higher risk of adverse outcomes from respiratory infections. However, most research on respiratory infections among CMC has been limited by small sample sizes. […]

The proposed project will be the largest ever study of RSV associated hospitalizations to Canadian tertiary pediatric hospitals. Cases are identified via our national active surveillance program for vaccine-preventable diseases, the Canadian Immunization Monitoring Program ACTive (IMPACT). IMPACT’s pediatric hospital-based active surveillance network provides a rich source of data with rigorous quality control processes and […]

Le projet vise à identifier les modalités technologiques (ex., application mobile, messagerie instantanée, jeux sérieux, etc.) utilisées dans les interventions existantes pour prévenir les TCA; et comparer leurs efficacités. De plus, ce projet examinera les différents publics cibles et les caractéristiques des individus ciblés par les interventions numériques existantes pour prévenir les TCA. Cela inclut, […]

KidsAbility is the leading provider of pediatric rehabilitation in Waterloo and Wellington, supporting 17,000 children each year. Rising demand and a shortage of trained clinicians have made it difficult to keep up, leading to longer wait times for families in need. KidsAbility is exploring the use of group therapy in their Speech Language Therapy (SLT) […]

Increasingly prevalent patient violence within the dementia population is a challenge to long term care providers. Violent incidents can lead to serious musculoskeletal and neurological health complications. I propose to use video surveillance and a novel brain monitoring system in a care facility-based elderly population, to monitor violent episodes and brain vitality after incidents. This […]

Our project aims to develop Osteoprobe, a smart medical device that helps doctors identify cancerous bone tissue instantly during surgery. It uses light and electrical signals to tell the difference between healthy and cancerous bone, providing quick and accurate results without the need for extra tests. This will help surgeons make better decisions, remove only […]

Cardiovascular disease is a major global health challenge, and early prevention is crucial to reducing its impact. This project explores how wearable devices and artificial intelligence (AI) can improve early detection and prevention of heart disease. Wearable sensors continuously collect health data, but challenges such as missing information and inaccurate readings limit their reliability in […]

The Radiation Medicine Program at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre treats cancer patients with Radiation Therapy (RT). RT relies on the principle that the cancer can be killed by delivering a high radiation dose to the tumor while sparing healthy tissues. Deformable image registration (DIR) is a cornerstone of modern RT, enabling the alignment of […]

The Radiation Medicine Program at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre delivers curative radiation therapy (RT) to cancer patients, including those with gynecological cancers, using a combination of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT). A key clinical challenge is the accurate accumulation of radiation dose delivered across these modalities. Current methods rely on deformable […]

The Oakville Centre for Vision (OCV) is committed to advancing optometric care by streamlining refractive procedures, a critical yet often inefficient component of private practice operations hampered by inconsistent protocols, uneven clinical training, and fragmented management systems. In collaboration with Sheridan College’s Centre for Applied AI (CAAI), the Refraction Co-Pilot Platform project will deliver an […]
