Enhancement of the Performance of the Prefail’s Implant Health Monitoring System

This research and development project intends to improve the performance of a dental implant stability measurement (ISMS) device made by Prefail Dental Solutions Inc. The technical improvements proposed by this project includes (i) developing an impeoved and reliable signal processing technique, (ii) designing a calibration unit, (iii) designing a new tip for the ISMS clinical application, and (iv) fine-tuning the parameters in the quotient calculation algorithm of the ISMS. Clinical tests will also be conducted at two stages along with the laboratory improvement experiments that are planned to make the final version of hardware and software of ISMS. The feedback from dentists and patients and human test data will also be used to improve the performance of the final ISMS. The outcome of this project will help Prefail to have a device which is ready for commercialization.

Force Finder – Bringing Force Time Characteristics Into Real-World Gym Settings

Ignite Athletics Inc. is the partner organization and works with thousands of athletes every year as Coaches in the strength and conditioning field. The goal of the project is to bring together Engineers, Sports Scientists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches to create a device that can easily measure force-time characteristics in a real-world setting. Collection of force-time characteristics up this point has typically been limited to a laboratory setting or professional organizations with very large financial budgets. This project will create a new portable and low-cost single-axial load device called the “Force Finder”.
