We wear footwear every day to complement diverse activities and lifestyles, from leisure walking to performance sprinting, and everything in between. Determining whether a certain type of footwear alters performance remains a key challenge with each innovation. While we know that sensory feedback from the foot influences our ‘feel’ for the ground, how these sensations […]

ServiceNow develops a platform for client organizations to manage and automate large-scale processes across various industries. In 2020, ServiceNow acquired Element AI to strengthen its presence in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) research landscape and the Canadian AI ecosystem. This acquisition enabled the developmentof AI-driven products that improve the platform’s capabilities. ServiceNow Research has made significant […]

While mass production systems have successfully implemented automation processes, job-shop manufacturers face a critical challenge: experienced workers are retiring, taking decades of specialized knowledge with them, while finding skilled replacements becomes increasingly difficult. This project addresses this problem by creating a “digital twin” – essentially a highly accurate virtual copy of a real manufacturing workspace […]

Cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex, with attackers constantly changing their strategies to stay ahead of security defenses. Traditional detection approaches often focus on reacting after an attack has already occurred, leaving organizations vulnerable during critical early stages. This research project focuses on four main areas: (1) it uses patterns from past attacks to forecast […]

PataBid Quantify is a construction estimating software platform that helps construction professionals manage bids and project estimates. Our current user interface was built using multiple free, open-source tools pieced together during our early bootstrapped startup phase when we couldn’t afford commercial development solutions. While this approach allowed us to launch our product, it has created […]

This project involves upgrading the PDF rendering infrastructure for Quantify, a digital construction estimating platform. The current in-house PDF engine was originally designed for AI training purposes and lacks the features, performance, and scalability required for displaying construction drawings and specifications in a cloud-based environment. The existing system has significant limitations including missing critical functionality […]

Collaborative governance in natural resource management is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing complex environmental problems involving interdependent parties. In water management, for example, optimizing flows requires balancing diverse rights-holder and stakeholder interests including infrastructure operations, municipal needs, and fish habitat. The lack of robust evaluation frameworks limits the potential for adaptive management and the […]

This project aims to assess how drug clinical trials in Canada approach the inclusion and exclusion of people who are pregnant, lactating or who have the potential to become pregnant. This is necessary because pregnant and lactating individuals have been historically excluded from clinical trials, limiting knowledge on treatment safety and efficacy for this population. […]

The Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health works to improve the health and mental health of adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD) and their families through research, clinical innovation, education and training, and knowledge exchange. Despite growing recognition of their needs, there remains limited information on effective models of care […]

Building on the success of Phase 1 of our research on Neurodiversity in the Workplace, which engaged HR professionals and neurodivergent individuals and produced a practical toolkit that generated strong interest and positive feedback, we are now entering Phase 2. This stage will focus on the real-world implementation of the toolkit, capturing case studies and […]
