In the context of a pandemic, one of the main challenges is the difficulty of meeting the needs of the population while taking into account the shortage of resources. Thus, it is imperative to innovate and create strategies that are both dynamic and interactive, in an effort to better identify those individuals most at risk […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged us with social isolation, financial uncertainty, and daily life disruptions. Parents and children may be uniquely impacted as parents attempt to navigate the stressors of working from home, caring for children, and, potentially, caring for their elderly parents and other family members. Children and youth, in turn, are influenced by […]

A critical step in the fight against COVID-19 is effective screening of infected patients for infection detection and risk assessment. While viral testing such as rt-PCR is the gold standard for infection detection as it is highly specific, it is moderately sensitive and is a very time-consuming, laborious, and complicated manual process that is in […]

In healthcare, communication and clear roles and responsibilities are critical in delivering care to patients. This is difficult to achieve in the best of times; during pandemics and mass casualty events, communication is the first thing to fail, leading to inefficiency, confusion, and ultimately harm to patients. This project aims to develop an automated system […]

Depuis plusieurs semaines, la COVID-19 bouleverse plusieurs aspects de la société, tels que les liens sociaux ou économiques. Parmi les nombreux secteurs affectés, le domaine de la culture est particulièrement touché au Québec et partout dans le monde. Par exemple, les regroupements tels que les festivals, expositions ou spectacles sont maintenant annulés. Cela pose donc […]

Le secteur des arts et de la culture est l’un plus touchés économiquement par crise de la COVID-19. Cette crise impose aux organisations culturelles de profondes transformations tant sur le plan de leur modèle d’affaires que de leur gestion. La reprise de leurs activités exigera aussi des adaptations importantes. Ce projet de recherche vise donc […]

Geo-social networking applications (GSNAs) are quickly and radically impacting our cultural landscape in terms of gender identities, sexual practices, use of public space, commerce, and quality of life. GSNAs, like Bumble, use cell phones and satellites to create computer-mediated communication whereby users exchange a series of electronic messages and participate in different relational activities via […]

In this research, occupancy monitoring data, temperature and humidity, and water quality parameters data collected through image processing and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors from multiple swimming pools are going to be processed and analyzed to identify the meaningful relations between these parameters and freshwater usage. The aim is to identify correlations between parameters and […]

As location is an integral part of both population and individual health, there is an emerging role for geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) technology in health and healthcare. Novel infectious diseases such as COVID-19 are associated with population density, environmental factors, and interactions between humans and wildlife. GeoAI technology can be used to collect and analyze […]

There is recent evidence that surviving COVID-19 (particularly following ventilator use) could result in changes to how well your brain controls functions important for daily living. Currently, however, there are few choices for clinicians to test these functions prior to hospital discharge and at follow-up. This project will develop a web-based cognitive-motor integration assessment tool […]

The COVID-19 crisis has stimulated the need for digital transformation among organizations in order to adapt their business models and practices to survive from the pandemic. Data-driven solutions would emerge as the key of success by supporting cultural organizations to launch new products / services, developing marketing strategies, and improving customer experience. Our research project […]
