The electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important medical device used to monitor patient’s heart health. Despite its major importance in diagnosing life-threatening heart diseases, ECG machines are not available in many health centers around the world because of their high cost. Glia’s solution is an accessible, low-cost, and high-quality ECG device. The main purpose of this […]

Ce stage s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme de recherche, VIMY, VIMY, un multi système de soins intensifs déployable sur le terrain capable de gérer de nombreux blessés. Il repose sur une capacité d’intelligence artificielle composée principalement de capteurs, de systèmes d’acquisition de données, de systèmes interactifs automatisés et d’algorithmes qui aident au processus décisionnel. […]

Food production and consumption significantly contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions, and in our endeavor to reduce the carbon footprint of food choices, we present an innovative research project focused on promoting sustainable eating habits in restaurant settings. We aim to influence consumer behavior by harnessing the power of behavioral change interventions. The project involves […]

Efficient monitoring of soil moisture is essential for evaluating crop stress and forecasting agricultural yields. In this regard, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is considered more suitable than traditional optical satellites due to its all-weather and all-day capacity, as well as its sensitivity to soil dielectric constant. To further enhance the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval, […]

The intern will be working with Project Watershed to understand the use of the three sites along the Courtenay River by juvenile salmonids, and whether one site appears to be better used by the juvenile salmonids or not. This work will help inform the partner organization whether their previous salmon habitat restoration activities along the […]

The transport sector is the second highest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada. The prevalence of car use in passenger transport, also referred to as “automobility”, is a key driver of GHG emissions and other societal issues. Transport innovations can reduce emissions – for example, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are an essential component […]

This project aims to identify the effects of human activities, particularly logging and mineral exploration, on mammals that live in the Tsay Keh Dene (TKD) Nation Territory. We plan to use a method called environmental DNA (eDNA), which involves detecting genetic material from animals in the environment, to understand how much logging and at what […]

The public greatly depends on a country’s health care providers to be sufficiently healthy to deliver care themselves. When the wellness of health-care workers suffers, then the health of the public at large is put in jeopardy. This project represents a ground-breaking collaboration between the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) who created a comprehensive mental health […]

Lithium-ion batteries have become a crucial tool in countering global fossil fuel reliance; when paired with electric motors, they provide an alternative to petroleum-based energy storage for internal combustion engines. The cathode (the positive electrode) in a lithium-ion battery is typically made up of lithiated transition metal oxides, each of which presents a unique set […]

Critical river habitats are being affected by climate change, and so are the species that need them for survival. These habitats are called thermal refuges, or cold-water patches, and they protect aquatic species from thermal stress and mortality. Some of these species include Atlantic salmon and Atlantic sturgeon, and are found on the Restigouche River […]

Excessive use of antimicrobials results in the evolution of antimicrobial resistant microbes, and the infection caused by such microbes are known as antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections. AMR infections are on the rise and has a negative impact on the quality of life, healthcare system and ultimately on the economy. The current proposal aims at the […]

AltaML is an innovative company capitalizing on a major technological trend: artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, enabled by big data, are driving a fourth industrial revolution. AI will transform all industries, but traditional industries face challenges in implementing AI. AltaML has a unique business model to overcome barriers to adoption of AI solutions by industry, which […]
