The spinal cord is one of the most imponant neurological structures in the body. Noninvasive image-based assessment of this structure is an increasingly demanding healthcare service. This project is a preliminary development stage of a computer-aided spinal-scan assessment software toolkit which aims at faciiitating the diagnosis of spinal cord problems. In parlicular, the proposed project […]

Trojan Technologies provides UV-based technologies for water, wastewater and reuse wastewater treatment. This proposal is directed towards optimizing and developing the validation protocols for UV systems provided by Trojan. The study results will expand Trojan’s ability to provide more holistic and sustainable reactors for water/wastewater treatment as well as expand the polychromatic UV market. From […]

L’industrie aéronautique amorce un virage irréversible vers l’électrification de la propulsion des aéronefs. À travers ce projet Bell Textron voudrait analyser les performances d’un système hybride batterie – multipile à l’échelle 1 (grandeur réelle). La compagne s’est donc adjoint une équipe de recherche de l’Institut de recherche sur l’hydrogène afin de mettre en place un […]

Running is a very popular, low-cost form of physical activity that is utilized by Canadians as a means to improve both physical fitness and mental health. Throughout all seasons experienced by most Canadians, runners use some form of compression apparel as a means to regulate temperature, improve performance, and enhance comfort. Using an iterative and […]

Bridges Environmental Solutions Inc. and Deadwood Innovation Inc. have developed a novel and low-cost process for dewatering wood and waste wood materials and extracting a lignin-based solution useful in subsequent wood reforming and laminating processes, which we have helped develop. They use this lignin product to both chemically modify cellulose structures and permanently reform wood […]

L’exposition au froid extrême peut entraîner des conséquences importantes sur la santé et la sécurité surtout pour les personnes qui doivent dormir à l’extérieur. Les sacs de couchage constituent la dernière barrière de protection contre le froid. Durant leur utilisation, ils sont soumis à des compression et exposés aux risques de condensation à l’intérieur ce […]

Le projet Autonomie des Mobilités Aériennes du Futur a pour objectif de structurer l’autonomie des nouvelles mobilités aériennes (Regional Air Mobility / Urban Air Mobility) au Québec à travers deux approches complémentaires. D’abord, en capitalisant sur le riche écosystème technologique pour faire du Québec la place forte des systèmes d’aviation numériques. Pour ce faire, Thales […]

Commercial and multi-unit residential buildings located in cities with high sun exposure often experience challenges regulating indoor temperature due to the uneven distribution of solar radiation and localized overheating. For buildings located in cold climate zones, localized overheating – and in turn, localized indoor cooling – during the winter heating season is often overshadowed by […]

To date, integrating fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as a valuable option as internal reinforcement for concrete members has gained significant interest in the construction industry, due to their corrosion resistance and high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. The use of hollow reinforced concrete (RC) columns (HCCs) instead of solid columns has increased in the construction of bridges […]

iClinic-HF is one of the specialized modules that is operating in the 12 heart failure (HF) clinics across British Columbia. The major challenge that these clinics face are the limitations and constraints in resources with regards to the staff and funding operating under constraints of a universal healthcare system environment. Further limitations of an effective […]

CADTH’s recommendations are based on clinical and economic evidence which assist in making an informed decision on the optimal use of health technologies3. However, this evidence does not always evaluate outcomes that patients and physicians deem important. By incorporating patient and clinician input, the clinical and practice perspectives of the unmet need are becoming reflective […]

Le Canada est le seul pays développé au monde doté d’un système de soins de santé universel qui n’inclut pas la couverture universelle des médicaments sur ordonnance. D’autant plus, le système d’assurance médicaments du Canada est l’un des plus coûteux au monde. Des millions de canadiens peinent à accéder aux médicaments dont ils ont besoin. […]
