Business Strategy Analyst

The overall objective of the project is to work with the corporate development team on building out a 6 and 12-month top-line growth strategy for Peak Power. This will be carried out through deep analysis of REITs across North America, performing market sizing estimations, and building out an account management plan for the sales team to execute on. Peak will see a number of benefits from this project. However, the overarching benefit will be Peak’s ability to target new customers in urban areas who have large portfolios of inefficient real estate assets that can benefit from the energy reduction technologies that Peak Power has created. As Peak begins to sell into new customers, its ability to save money for utilities and landlords increases in parallel with carbon reduction from these real estate assets. Overall, this brings Peak Power more revenue, while reducing energy costs and the carbon footprint for its customers.

Spatial Lab – Student Led UX/UI Design Project at Emily Carr

Healthcare stakeholders seek to reduce the cost and accessibility of acute care especially for elder and underprivileged groups. During times of emergencies like a global pandemic, the burden is creating even more problems. Spatial Lab’s home testing solutions will open markets for alternative wellness tests and examinations and thus connect more people to adequate healthcare. In an effort to reduce hospital acute care self-directed wellness testing can engage people early on in their health awareness. For instance, Tuberculosis, Diabetes, Coronavirus, Cardiovascular disease and many other disease states have early-stage biomarkers that are not commonly used in medical care. However, biomarkers alone have not proven to be a reliable way to triage and create health care referrals. Spatial Lab combines testing and analytics with its at-home platform. We can help people understand their risk progression to disease, while providing both options for lifestyle change and appropriate data for early referrals to care. This will create a cost and time saving solution for providers, patients and insurance companies alike.

Identification d’indicateurs de performance pour optimiser les trajectoires de soins en oncologie dans un contexte de COVID et de soins virtuels.

La crise sanitaire de la COVID-19 amène une révolution dans les solutions électroniques pour prestataires de soins et une pression sans précédent. Depuis mars 2020, la demande est énorme pour l’amélioration du concept de clinique virtuelle. Cette nouvelle réalité ouvre un nouveau marché, mais vient complexifier la gestion des données de patients et les processus cliniques. Dans le contexte actuel de la pandémie, l’entreprise Omnimed doit permettre aux intervenants du système de santé de première ligne d’assurer un suivi serré auprès de populations à risque de développer un cancer, ou auprès de patients diagnostiqués qui peinent à obtenir des suivis adéquats pendant la crise sanitaire. Le but de ce projet de recherche est d’identifier, à l’aide d’outils d’intelligence d’affaires, quels indicateurs de performance devraient être utilisés pour piloter la trajectoire de soins des patients atteints de cancer. Afin d’optimiser les trajectoires de soins en oncologie, il faut connaître les points sensibles et les indicateurs qui permettront de poser des actions concrètes pour monter des tableaux de bord et développer les bons outils cliniques afin d’optimiser le dépistage et la prise en charge.
