The energy demand of the residential sector in Canada represents 12% of the total energy use. About 64% of such demand is assigned to space heating requirements. Adoption of energy-efficient systems is usually driven by long-term savings. Many passive energy reduction measures haven’t been implemented due to the decreasing credibility of simulation software which lacks […]

This project aims to develop a user-friendly visualization system for Thrive Health, a digital health solutions company. The visualization interface will be designed to effectively present a person’s health journey. This will be particularly helpful for patients with complex health conditions, as it will enable them to communicate their situation more clearly to their healthcare […]

The research project is about teaching robots to build things on their own. We’re going to use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to make them understand how to put together things, like furniture, without needing lots of human help. We’ll make them practice in a simulation first, so they get really good at the assembly task. […]

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 […]

L’industrie numérique est responsable de 4% de l’empreinte carbone planétaire annuelle. Ecoist Club est une entreprise qui cherche à réduire les impacts environnementaux du numérique. En réunissant des experts en numérique durable, Ecoist Club développe des outils pour apprendre (services-conseils), mesurer (calculateur GES) et agir (planification stratégique). En 2022, Ecoist Club a créé le premier […]

Indoor pollution sources (e.g., fuel-burning combustion appliances, building materials, and furnishings) are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems. Household air pollution was responsible for an estimated 3.2 million deaths per year in 2020, including over 237,000 deaths of children under the age of 5. To address this problem, we developed a nature-based air […]

In this research project, we aim to address the uncertainties in the efficacy, safety, and dosing of prescription drugs, particularly for older adults who are more likely to take multiple medications. Pre-market drug trials often exclude the older population, leading to potential risks. Our proposed method involves utilizing machine learning and interactive visualization techniques to […]

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 […]
