Timely diagnosis of dementia is a public health challenge within Canada. It is hoped that machine-learning empowered cognitive examinations might improve Canada’s response to the dementia population. This study proposed the validation of an automated cognitive examination, the Autonomous Cognitive Examination, which uses machine learning to evaluate users to evaluate previously difficult to assess inputs […]

Echocardiography is widely used for scanning cardiac patients to assess the health of their hearts. Despite its wide use, echocardiography suffers from a few limitations, including the limited field-of-view and longer scanning times. We propose a product using a collaborative robot arm to overcome these limitations. Our project allows scanning the heart from different locations […]

Construction sites are accident-prone sites and despite numerous efforts to reduce incidents, they continue to occur. Among others, fall accidents, in particular, account for the majority of these incidents, necessitating the implementation of proper management strategies. Traditional techniques for providing safety and preventing accidents are adequate and appropriate for improving safety, however, they are not […]

Designing the most effective and efficient source of revenue is one of the leading policy challenges in the municipal sector today. Generally speaking, municipalities own and operate 60% of the built public infrastructure in the country, but are limited to approximately 8% of the aggregate tax revenue generated in the country by all three orders […]

AIR Institutes is launching a new resilience online training through a digital portal called AIR Space. The goal of the proposed project will be to evaluate if the training delivered in an online format is effective in developing and improving resilience. As users go through different activities delivered through the digital portal, their level of […]

Augmented Reality (AR) provides real-time interactive instructions to improve efficiency and accuracy of product maintenance processes. Although different methods have been proposed for the AR-based product maintenance, there is a lack of methods of automatic product disassembly and assembly planning under the AR environment. This project develops an AR-based tool for product maintenance instructions. The […]

The healthcare industry is focusing on utilizing emerging technologies to make healthcare systems secure, interoperable, and efficient. Blockchain technology offers promising features, such as immutability, security, traceability and decentralization, appropriate for clinical healthcare interoperability and data sharing. This project is part of Lab2Market program, which provides a commercial opportunity to utilize blockchain technology, a new […]

Climatic and soil conditions played a crucial role in crop productivity, and thus impacted the economic benefits of the entire industry, especially in Canada. Biochar is widely known as a sustainable material as soil amendment. However, conventional biochar lacks the ability to improve water-use efficiency. A new type of biochar is being developed by co-pyrolyzing […]

The global competitive market requires products to meet the high customer satisfaction, low production cost and short development cycle. Product design searches for potential solutions of products to meet customer requirements based on design constraints and technical details. As a large number of possible concepts have to be explored in the design process, applying the […]

To maintain grain quality, grain drying is essential to turn the newly harvested grain from a high moisture content, high temperature and easily spoiled state to a safe condition for transportation or storage. Convection grain dryers are the most widely-used grain dryers around the world, however, the design of dryers nowadays is still mainly based […]

Products have to meet high customer satisfaction standards, low production costs in order to compete in the global market. Comparing with conventional production techniques, the additive manufacturing (AM) technology can construct complicated forms with more efficiency. In order to produce high quality 3D printed parts, the appropriate selection of printing parameters is crucial. Advanced parameter […]

Sequent AI is a consolidation focused on acquiring technology companies in both the operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) spaces. Through this approach Sequent AI aims to provide solutions that bridge the gap between OT and IT technologies. This project will go hand in hand with Sequent’s mandate as it will assess opportunity for […]
