Luma is an augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation platform designed to help surgeons see important blood vessels and anatomy directly on a patient during surgery. Right now, surgeons often have to rely on memory or markings to make decisions, which can lead to longer, riskier operations. Our project will explore who buys new surgical tools […]

Alors que l’industrie des véhicules électriques connaît une croissance rapide, l’importance des stations de recharge ne peut être sous-estimée. Cependant, cette croissance s’accompagne également d’un problème urgent en matière de cybersécurité. Ce projet est dédié à la protection des communications entre les stations de recharge et leurs systèmes de gestion, en particulier ceux qui utilisent […]

The current landscape of human resources faces significant challenges in streamlining job documentation and job evaluation processes, which are critical for consistent, efficient, and defensible compensation-related decisions. Laulima Consulting Inc., as the partner organization, aims to overcome this by developing an AI-powered tool that supports the end-to-end creation and evaluation of job descriptions. The core […]

EVAH Corp, est une entreprise de biotechnologies axée sur le développement des technologies dans le domaine de la santé animale, cherche à optimiser la gestion des risques liés aux agents pathogènes de niveau NC2 dans son laboratoire. Ce projet vise à développer une stratégie proactive d’évaluation et de contrôle des risques de biosécurité/biosûreté, conformément à […]

There is no overview on Umbrella applications so this section is left empty.

Salyx Medical is advancing a proactive health monitoring solution designed to protect seniors and individuals with chronic conditions who live alone, addressing the critical gap left by reactive tools like fall detectors or emergency buttons. The project focuses on overcoming challenges related to establishing strategic partnerships and executing real-world pilot studies—key steps in validating the […]

La problématique de la sous-représentation des femmes dans le leadership scolaire est un phénomène réel en Amérique du Nord. L’absence des données probantes sur le parcours et l’expérience des enseignants complique la mise en oeuvre de politiques concrètes pouvant favoriser un avancement professionnel équitable pour les femmes et les autres personnes appartenant aux groupes visés […]

Periodontitis, or advanced gum disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects roughly 1 in 3 North Americans. In severe cases, periodontitis leads to tooth and bone loss, but it’s also been linked to a range of serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illness, autoimmune disease, and even Alzheimer’s. Despite its prevalence and […]

Forensic analysis of biological evidence typically takes weeks, sometimes years. Through years of research, we have developed tools that can automate the workflow in a forensic lab, enabling processing complex samples such as sexual assault evidence in 4 hours. BioRush enables forensic labs to treat all cases as rush cases. BioRush integrates and automates all […]

Contemporary machine learning has been very successfully applied to processing static images and words in consumer applications, resulting in billions of dollars in recent acquisitions of machine learning companies by Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Google. However, applications to dynamic information (e.g. movies, controlling robotics) has been less well-developed. In this project, will develop and apply […]

This project will support the development and validation of a novel vibration energy harvester (VEH) with resonant frequency tuning. VEHs convert mechanical vibrations into electrical energy and can be used to power wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes for machine condition monitoring in manufacturing and processing. Conventional VEHs are resonant devices with inherently narrow bandwidths, making […]

The Centre for Local Innovation & Collaboration (CLIC) project will team up with small businesses from Richmond Hill’s Small Business Enterprise Centre. Interns from OCAD University’s Strategic Foresight and Innovation (SFI) Master of Design program will (through research) help these businesses with their innovation challenges using various methods like human-centered design, futures thinking, and strategic […]
