TrypScore Dashboard Project

Medidas Digital was incorporated in 2019 to create TrypScore, a technology built to change human behaviour with regards to driving a vehicle. Vehicle collisions are responsible for 1.35 million fatalities and approximately 50 million serious injuries across the globe every year. We wanted to create a modern user engagement tool that could incentivize better driving while being able to measure positive change and produce valuable anonymized data to support the technology and our partners in furthering our mission.

This project will focus on the completion of two web-based applications (each a project) designed to visualize data being collected through the TrypScore mobile application. The completion of these projects will greatly enhance the value and commercialization of the data to both corporate and safety partners. As there are two specific web applications to be built, we feel that two interns working in concert on each project with the capability of having a team of four interns consult on appropriate synergies in the projects and utilize cross-testing will benefit Medidas but will also greatly affect the interns through working collaboratively as a team and not being constricted to a narrow focus work experience.

Développement de méthodologies et processus créatifs visant à livrer des solutions en créativité à haute valeur ajoutée

Oeuvrant dans un domaine hautement concurrentiel, notamment dû à au manque de main d’œuvre et à l’essor du numérique dans les dernières années, il est essentiel pour notre survie en tant qu’entreprise de constamment adapter nos services en fonction des besoins de nos clients.

Le projet s’insère dans ce désir fondamental que nous avons d’ajouter une touche plus créative dans notre approche et dans les mandats que nous exécutons pour nos clients. Comme nous avons des ressources limitées, il y a un travail de réflexion important à faire quant aux types de solutions que nous désirons développer. Comment pouvons-nous faire plus de contenus et innover dans les stratégies de communication de nos clients dans un contexte de temps limité? Quelle serait la meilleure méthode pour faire des shooting photos/vidéos efficaces ? Comment améliorer nos stratégies en gestion de communautés ? Quelle implication voulons-nous avoir ? Au meilleur de nos connaissances, nous devons répondre à ces questionnements en amont. De plus, notre vision d’entreprise est de devenir les partenaires à plus grande valeur ajoutée de nos fleurons québécois. Ainsi, comment compétitionner avec les autres agences de communication et de design tout en demeurant le bras marketing numérique et performance de nos clients?

Enhancements to the Simulation of a Methane Emission Reduction Program

The upstream oil and gas sector is the second largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions within Canada. As new policies and regulations are being introduced to reduce methane emissions, Canada’s oil and gas producers and provincial regulators need to be able to quantify the cost-effectiveness of various strategies to reduce emissions and identify the best technologies to quantify methane emissions. Arolytics Incorporated, a Canadian SME, has developed a simulation-based software product called AROfemp, which they use to help their clients in the oil and gas sector design fugitive emissions management programs (FEMPs), in order to satisfy methane emissions regulations. However, in its current state, AROfemp does not address the quantification accuracy of these FEMPs and is lengthy to run. The first objective of this project is to review the internal design and stochastic simulation model of the software, and apply statistical and computing techniques to accelerate the code in order to support more complex evaluations. The second objective is to review the statistical methods used to estimate the parameters in the simulation model, propose related improvements (by e.g. proposing more realistic probability distributions), and ensure these outputs are all delivered with a statistically sound error estimate.

An Integrated Technology Architect

Patients are facing excessive wait times at hospitals, especially within Emergency Departments. Long wait times expose patients to unnecessary risks, and are very costly to hospitals. In addition, a number of governmental and medical guidelines impose limits on patient wait times. This has prompted hospitals to explore technologies that can enhance patients flow and reduce wait times. This research aims to address patients wait time issues by deploying a Care Process Management system (CPM) that models and monitor clinical pathways as a process model. The proposed approach provides real time dashboards where hospital administrators can view current patient states and can predict when a patient wait time will exceed a specified limit. This enables the administrator to take corrective action in a timely manner to address the cause of the delay. When completed, such a system will improve patient safety, reduce wait times, enhance patient satisfaction, and maximize resource utilization

Generating high fidelity synthetic transactional sequences with transformers.

At a high level, the goal of this project is to create a system for producing synthetic datasets based on real data. As a large financial crime detection firm, Verafin deals with large volumes of sensitive data which must be kept private, however they are also interested in collaborating with academics to gain new insights into their data. In this project we will use recent developments from the field of generative modeling to design a system which can create synthetic datasets which are nearly indistinguishable from the true data they are mimicking, while not exposing information which must be kept private. In addition to making it easier for Verafin to collaborate with external parties, another benefit is Verafin can use the synthetic data to create more realistic product demonstrations for potential clients.

CONCEPTION D’UNE SALLE DE FINITION DU BOIS ROBOTISÉE INCLUANT L’ADAPTATION D’UN COBOT

L’objectif du projet sera de proposer une conception de salle de finition du bois robotisée incluant le choix de l’équipement robotique, les équipements de manutention requis et l’adaptation d’un cobot sélectionné à l’espace de travail et aux normes de sécurité en vigueur.
L’automatisation du procédé de finition du bois va permettre d’accroître l’efficacité, la productivité, la fiabilité et la sécurité de cette tâche. Toutefois, cette tache peut être complexe compte tenu de la précision des manipulations et de la variabilité des pièces de bois pouvant être produites. La finition demande donc généralement l’expertise d’un humain. le travail du stagiare sera de proposer une conception préliminaire d’un environnement adéquat de cellule robotisée qui satisfait les requis d’une tache de peinture, incluant toutes les normes en vigueur.
Une partie importante du projet sera consacrée à rendre le bras robotique collaboratif sélectioné résistant aux particules en suspension ainsi qu’aux risques d’explosion. Le robot fonctionnera dans un milieu où des risques d’incendie ou d’explosion peuvent exister en raison de vapeurs, liquides, et même des particules qui peuvent être facilement inflammable généré par le procédé de finition (vernis, huile et peinture).
