In the development of AI-assisted imaging tools, Perimeter faces the challenge of enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of tumor margin assessments. This research investigates whether generative AI can be used to synthesize supplemental data, alongside automated data annotation techniques can drive measurable improvements in the performance of Perimeter’s AI tools.

The project will investigate how common distractions, such as cell phone use, impact drivers’ ability to stay attentive and respond appropriately on the road. Using electroencephalography (or EEG) to monitor brain activity, we will look for patterns indicating attention or fatigue during simulated human-vehicle interaction, and classification algorithms will also be used to recognize these […]

The current project aims to look at Indigenous women’s experiences seeking help for intimate partner violence (IPV) in crisis and second-stage women’s shelters. Resolve’s previous study demonstrates that rural women, including rural Indigenous women, experience a lack and a shortage of IPV-related services (Kardashevskaya et al., 2022). In addition, services may not be culturally safe […]

Prévot : Conception d’un drone multi-tâches d’urgence santé qui inclue un générateur d’oxygène automatisé : initier les bases du programme R&D drone ambulance-brancard qui intègre des composantes monitoring et de traitement comme le générateur d’O2 et produire les premiers plans/plans génériques du drone et du générateur d’O2 automatisé. Poulet : Amélioration des inventions de Stéphane […]

Jusqu’à 75% des femmes victimes de violence conjugale (VVC) de nature physique auraient subi un traumatisme cérébral (TCC). La plupart d’entre elles ne sont ni diagnostiquées ni traitées, mais doivent pourtant vivre avec les effets de ces blessures au cerveau, qui peuvent affecter leur autonomie, leur capacité à maintenir un emploi ou s’occuper de leurs […]

This project focuses on identifying and developing methods of estimating the Green house Gas (GHG)- emissions related benefits of bicycle infrastructure (such as, painted bike lanes, protected bike lanes, multi-use trails). GHG-emissions estimation methods that consider both the “benefits” and “costs” related to active transportation infrastructure is extremely rare, and as a result, there is […]

A retrospective cohort study design will be used to determine the population-based incidence of sepsis in infants up to 28 days after birth, and by gestational age in weeks. The project will use BC data from the Perinatal Registry on all births over 16 years, and readmissions up to 28 days after birth. The intern […]

This project is dedicated to enhancing the safety and reliability of cardiovascular disease diagnosis through the innovative integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with 4D Flow MRI technology. By applying advanced machine learning algorithms, we aim to improve the precision and dependability of 4D Flow MRI analyses, ensuring more accurate assessments of complex heart blood flow […]

Racism permeates and is upheld by institutions such as healthcare, with deleterious impacts for patients and healthcare workers. Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)–a regional health authority—has more than 29,000 workers providing services to over 1.25 million people. They will be piloting an anti-racism training they created for workers as part of their larger Anti-Racism Action Plan. […]

Makoon Transition is a not-for-profit organization, with partnership from the U of W Inner City Studies work study, students placed at Makoon are able to partake in a variety of social services assignments. This can range from family support, client intake and clan wellness. Aimed to help Indigenous families successfully exit the CFS system.

Within museum collections, formalin fixed samples have long posed persistent challenges in acquiring viable nucleic acids for taxonomic and phylogenomic reconstructions. This proposal represents a vital first step in determining the presence or absence of formalin and its derivatives in the formalin fixed historic samples located at the Smithsonian Institution where the oldest can be […]

Interns will help the partnerning organization (Harvest Manitoba) to conduct their summer community garden and distribute gardening kids to clients. Interns will also work on the Harvest Voices report to gather information about who uses the food bank so that the organization can provide better resources and advocacy.
