Le projet vise à utiliser des données décrivant les événements d’une partie de hockey et leur localisation sur la patinoire afin de segmenter les types de joueurs. Les données relatives au profil physique des joueurs de hockey (données passives) ont été historiquement employées afin de guider la fabrication des pièces d’équipement au hockey. Pour ce […]

Dynamic bone turnover is associated with most bone disease, such as stress fractures (e.g., tibial shin splints), often seen in athletes and new military recruits. The key to successful diagnosis and treatment of bone stress fractures is early detection by diagnosis of excessive bone turnover. However, measuring bone metabolism using medical imaging is challenging, and […]

The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest public health disaster in over a century resulting in the death of nearly 6 million people world-wide.

Self-help and self-care products are becoming ever more popular. However, they are usually distributed through print media, hence, limiting their intended reach. By creating a self-care, mental-health app, we intend to increase the reach of a previously internally tested Self-Love journal developed by Switch Research Inc. The app will be developed with the help of […]

Mental health self-care journals provide a resource for people to build a variety of mental health skills, like resilience and self-compassion, and work through mental health challenges, like self-criticism. Despite the popularity of these resources, few, if any, provide any scientific basis for their effectiveness. The goal of this proposal is to (1) develop a […]

The intern will use different machine learning techniques and evaluate them with specified indicators. It will mainly be implemented with Python, TensorFlow, Docker and AWS AI/ML. The intended impact for the organisation is a better user experience, a […]

The interns will be tasked with creating a unique online platform for healthcare providers and veterinarians to be validated, and able to order custom medications. This type of platform does not exist yet. It will involve a thorough embedded validation process, user management, an advanced search and filter function, embedded educational/regulatory/product information, a complex pricing […]
