Based on the needs of community partners (Viomax and Adaptavie), we co-developed nine training modules and successfully trained kinesiologists who provide adapted physical activity services to persons with disabilities. Our proposed project aims to co-create and evaluate tools to support the implementation of these training modules within adapted physical activity community-based organizations who provide adapted […]

The proposed project aims to develop innovative cell culture collection and extraction kits designed to streamline and improve the process of collecting cell samples in research laboratories. By addressing the current challenges of manual sample collection, such as time consumption, variability, and error-prone methods, our kit will enhance the reliability and efficiency of biological and […]

Initially within the application procedure for searching appropriate combination of care seeker/giver matches it’s observed that user must select a range of options like the type of health care worker (HCW) needed for the job, credentials they require, their estimated rate, distance from the location desired, choosing level of experience HCW possesses, and checking whether […]

The proposed research project focuses on understanding how to better prevent and respond to cholera outbreaks, particularly in impoverished areas lacking clean water and proper sanitation. Despite having the tools to prevent cholera, most efforts are reactive rather than proactive, meaning resources are often mobilized only after an outbreak occurs. The study will analyze the […]

Beacon Ortho hopes to identify and deliver additively manufactured devices to improve the patient experience, improved fit and comfort, and to reduce the extremely high amount of input waste in fabrication of prosthetic devices. This project aims to test additively manufactured trial devices against moulded thermoplastic trial devices, and composite definitive devices. Using ISO 10328 […]

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer with a five-year survival rate of less than 5%, primarily due to the tumor’s high recurrence rate. The critical challenge in GBM treatment is extending patient survival while maintaining quality of life. Current minimally invasive surgical techniques for GBM involve using endoscopic tools guided by optical microscopes and […]

The continued health disparities and the recent public health challenges including COVID-19 pandemic and epidemics have highlighted for the need of more resilient community-based health system in Africa and beyond. Robust evidence is crucial by examining the lessons learned during practice of community-based health programs to build locally led better community health systems in Africa. […]

The Climate Emergency Unit (CEU), in collaboration with the BC Climate Emergency Campaign, seeks to understand how politicians, media, and civil society organizations in British Columbia frame the connection between affordability and the climate crisis, aiming to shift public perception towards viewing climate spending as an investment in the future. By exploring successful framing strategies […]

Periods of extreme heat and firesmoke are becoming more frequent in British Columbia with devastating consequences. People living at the intersections of poverty, medical vulnerability and low quality housing are often disproportionately impacted by these events. Our research seeks to answer the following questions: 1) How do communities currently navigate these exposures, 2) How can […]
