The VT-PATCH project addresses a crucial gap in pediatric healthcare by introducing a user-friendly medical patch designed for short-term, continuous monitoring of infants and young children. Unlike the current complex system of multiple devices and wires, the VT-PATCH offers an all-in-one solution to measure vital signs like heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and […]

2.1.b. Objectives and approach (the what and the how) obj1: Understanding Healthcare Requirements for Medical Data: Initiate in-depth studies with healthcare professionals to understand their specific needs for visualizing medical data in MR. This could involve examining existing VR solutions in healthcare, and conducting focus groups and interviews with doctors, surgeons, and medical staff to […]

This project is fundamentally about business development and identifying user needs in the face of climate change, a critical issue that poses significant threats to urban water infrastructure resiliency. The focus is on the anticipated challenges caused by changing precipitation patterns, increasing temperatures, and rising demand leading to freshwater scarcity and declining quality. Such climate […]

Canada is facing a prolonged period of low productivity, which is worsened by its aging demographic. Low productivity growth leads to reduced economic growth and a lower quality of life for Canadians, emphasizing the need for innovation. Two key factors are Canada’s low Business R&D levels and its leadership in university R&D. To address this, […]

The proposed project aims to develop an innovative microsensor for precise monitoring of low-level salinity in drinking water. Using an ion-selective polymeric membrane, the microsensor enhances sensitivity and specificity, allowing for real-time monitoring within the crucial 1-100 ppm range. This technology addresses the current gap in low-cost, on-site salinity monitoring for drinking water. The partner […]

Physicists all over the world, including those throughout Canada, are gearing up to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider to collide particles more quickly than ever before. The huge datasets collected by enormous detectors like the ATLAS experiment will provide a trove of information about mysterious particles like the Higgs bosons, and might even help researchers […]

We are addressing the widespread issue of pressure injuries—a chronic wound affecting millions—with our innovative solution, the Smart Sheet. This soft, flexible, and stretchable sensor array is designed for precise pressure and shear detection. What sets us apart is the Smart Sheet’s unique ability to seamlessly conform to various shapes and contours, providing accurate and […]

Le projet consiste à créer un modèle 3D interactif du monastère des Ursulines de Québec pour une diffusion Web afin de mettre en valeur l’héritage des religieuses ainsi que son monastère (considéré comme un bien patrimonial national). Notre projet est avant-gardiste parce qu’il propose une libre navigation dans le modèle aux internautes. En effet, la […]

The intern will be working on a project at ZeroX Gaming, a gaming company, to make it easier for gamers to use blockchain technology in their games. This involves developing a tool that simplifies how players interact with blockchain features, making it as straightforward as using a regular gaming app. Additionally, the intern will work […]

Bike rebalancing involves the redistribution of bicycles among stations to mitigate potential system imbalances, addressing shortages or surpluses of bikes at individual stations. This task is done using trucks designed for moving bikes. The aim is to optimize the routing plan for these bike-moving trucks, deciding which stations to visit and the order to visit […]

Le projet de stage proposé par Cintech Agroalimentaire vise à développer et automatiser la détection et l’identification des contaminants des surfaces en contact avec les aliments, en exploitant la spectroscopie de fluorescence. L’utilisation des techniques chimiométriques standard et avancée lors d’analyse de données spectrales permettra de mettre en évidence les déterminations qualitatives et quantitatives des […]

The proposed project involves advancing UBC’s Depth-Camera-Augmented Fluoroscopy (DeCAF) system, a novel device for improving efficiency and reducing radiation exposure in orthopaedic trauma surgeries. DeCAF integrates a 3D depth camera with the conventional C-arm fluoroscope used for intraoperative imaging. The primary goal of our project is to assess the feasibility and market fit of the […]
