Recent technological advances in data collection, transmission, visualization, and machine learning make it possible to develop healthcare systems with the aim of monitoring the health status of patients. Pediatric Cardiologists rely on referrals from family physicians for abnormal heart conditions. Family physicians are not trained well enough to recognize abnormal murmurs and err on the […]

Severe bleeding is a life-threatening medical emergency that can potentially result in death. Although there are currently available treatments to stop severe bleeding from injuries, these treatments have their limitations and may be ineffective for specific types of bleeding, such as non-compressible intra-abdominal bleeding. The goal of this proposed project is to conduct research on […]

Propulser des partenariats intersectoriels est reconnue comme une stratégie incontournable à la promotion efficace et équitable de la santé. En tant que Table intersectorielle régionale sur les saines habitudes de vie (TIR-SHV), l’organisme Montréal métropole en santé (MMS) est tenu de mobiliser et soutenir les acteurs nécessaires à la promotion de SHV sur l’île de […]

L’ascension rapide des géants du numérique dans le secteur culturel ainsi que l’évolution continue des pratiques en ligne représentent aujourd’hui l’un des défis majeurs pour la préservation de la diversité des expressions culturelles. Les stratégies adaptatives adoptées par les grands acteurs mondiaux, qui dominent actuellement la plupart des activités culturelles en ligne, créent un environnement […]

Ce stage Mitacs s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet d’implantation d’une technologie permettant de télésurveiller les activités de la vie quotidienne, nommée VigIxia, qui aura lieu cet automne au CIUSSS Centre-sud-de-l’île-de-Montréal (CCSMTL). Le CCSMTL et VigIxia réalisent cette implantation d’un nouveau service dans le cadre des Projets vitrines du Ministère de la santé et des […]

Le projet se penche sur la manière dont les idées entrepreneuriales des femmes et des minorités sont perçues et financées. Il explore si des stéréotypes basés sur le genre et l’appartenance à des groupes minoritaires influencent ces perceptions et les financements disponibles. En d’autres termes, le projet examine si des préjugés liés au genre et […]

LANGA is a project at Copernicus Studios (Halifax, NS) that is experimenting with the use of automated speech recognition in on-line video games to assist in language learning. Over the past 2 years, the company has been developing prototypes of the game and testing them in conjunction with the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab at Dalhousie University. […]

Seafarers need ice navigation training to protect the safety of people, the environment, and ships while driving in ice covered waters. In this project, Virtual Marine’s simulators will be used to create a new method of delivering ice navigation training – an adaptive instructional system. In an adaptive instructional system, a computer develops a personalized […]

Alison’s research, conducted in partnership with the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC, aims to better understand what is limiting the endangered burrowing owl’s population recovery in British Columbia. The Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC has implemented a species reintroduction program that includes breeding and releasing owls. They then track how many owls survive, […]

This project proposes to create a standardized methodology to collect, calibrate and process thermal drone imagery into ortho-rectified maps showing accurate temperature data for streams and rivers. These temperature maps are quickly becoming a useful tool with which to detect influxes of cold water that are critical for the preservation of salmon habitat. As our […]

Scoring essays is important for learning and business. With AI and machine learning, we can save time and resources by automating the process. This project looks at automatic essay grading from three angles. First, we generate more data using automatic methods called data programming. This helps improve the machine learning models. Then, we refine the […]
