This project will help an intern develop Lumos, a made-in-Canada light therapy glasses venture that aims to improve sleep and alertness. With support from the Lab2Market program, the intern will gain practical experience in identifying target users, developing a go-to-market strategy, and collecting early product feedback. Lab2Market will provide mentorship, training, and access to a […]

Le projet de recherche proposé vise à accompagner Skinaptiks dans la structuration de sa stratégie de mise en marché du dispositif SKIN’Cast™. À ce jour, l’ajustement des prothèses repose sur une approche subjective, impliquant des ajustements fréquents avant que le patient puisse retrouver son autonomie. Le SKIN’Cast™, un manchon de diagnostic équipé d’une peau électronique […]

Indoor air pollution has become a growing concern, especially in homes, schools, offices, and healthcare facilities where people spend most of their time. Existing commercial air purifiers are often limited in function, focusing on removing specific pollutants while requiring frequent manual filter replacements. Many are not compatible with HVAC systems and often produce noise and […]

Ultracoustics Technologies Ltd. is developing ultrasensitive optical microphones to detect high-frequency sounds (20 kHz–2 MHz) for industrial applications like non-destructive testing (NDT) and leak detection. While the technology is proven, the company lacks market-ready products and a clear commercialization path. This Mitacs Business Strategy Internship project will bridge that gap by: (1) finalizing a certified […]

This project will validate an inclusive, wearable feedback system designed to support emotional regulation by detecting stress, mapping emotions, improving emotional communication, and preventing burnout and meltdowns. It is especially relevant for individuals with autism, ADHD, and sensory sensitivities, offering discreet, real-time feedback that enhances emotional awareness and expression. Grounded in ethical and inclusive design, […]

**Public Project Overview** This project will develop a new type of robotic tool for sanding, grinding, and polishing using advanced magneto-rheological (MR) actuators. Unlike traditional tools that rely on air pressure or electric servo motors, the MR-based tool can quickly and smoothly adjust how hard it pushes on a surface, making it ideal for high-precision […]

Sleep disorders like insomnia and circadian rhythm disruptions affect millions, leading to health problems such as fatigue, difficulty to concentrate, depression, various ailments including heart disease and cancer. Diagnosing these issues is challenging because current methods, such as overnight lab tests, are expensive, uncomfortable, and often unable to accurately perform real-time measurements. Wearable devices help, […]

Le Québec compte environ 4?333 fermes laitières, produisant près de 3,5 milliards de litres de lait par an avec 361?000 vaches. Cette industrie représente près de 37?% de la production laitière canadienne, mais elle est confrontée à un défi de taille : l’absence d’outils technologiques intelligents, mobiles et autonomes pour surveiller en continu la santé […]

MaaTRx is a real-time decision support platform for drug shortages: it allows users to proactively assess risks, collaborate across the supply chain, and plan strategic responses. With a 15% rise in Canadian drug shortages and over 3,000 reported shortages, MaaTRx is built to close this gap. Backed by decades of research, national grants and technical […]

EdgeStar AI is building an all-in-one autonomous lawn care robot designed to handle every major task needed to maintain large residential and commercial lawns. Unlike current robotic mowers that only cut grass, our robot can mow, weed, edge, and manage the full lawn maintenance process without any human involvement. It is fully electric, uses AI […]

The proposed research explores the use of mid-air haptics using ultrasound waves on the dorsal side of the hand, with envisioned applications for the dynamic display of haptic cues while reading embossed braille or tactile graphics.

Le projet vise à développer un système d’intelligence artificielle capable de remplacer le rôle traditionnel du scribe en clinique. Actuellement, dans certaines cliniques à Montréal, les médecins se sont regroupés pour créer des formulaires comprenant des questions essentielles à poser à un patient se présentant avec certains symptômes. Par exemple, dans le cas d’un mal […]
