Grants and Contributions

The Project will support the development of a project plan and feasibility of leveraging AI and integrating a key heart failure physiologic measure with patient and health system data to identify and risk stratify patients at discharge.

The Mitrex Solar Noise Barrier is an innovative solution that combines the functionality of a highway noise barrier with renewable energy generation, addressing both noise and clean energy needs. This project will develop a full-scale mock-up to demonstrate its feasibility, installation process, and performance, with the aim of establishing partnerships to expand its adoption and create scalable, sustainable infrastructure solutions.

A software project to develop a robust dataset management system for training machine learning and computer vision models, essential for fisheries monitoring.

The cold immersion product market is growing quickly, as is the competitive landscape. Many outdoor wellness events and athlete-related activities are prime marketing opportunities for cold immersion and other wellness products (e.g., consumer sampling, sales engagements, brand exposure). Public events require the use of commercially compliant tubs to ensure the health and safety of each user. Currently, there are no commercially-compliant mobile tubs available on the market. We will be the first in Canada, possibly in North America. This prototype will be used a) to test the market; b) to provide grass roots sales and marketing opportunities for IWBC; and c) provide another revenue stream for the company.

The AI solution will leverage advanced deep learning techniques to enhance and replace components of the current vision extensometer technology.

Fenix Alma Solutions is developing a Competency-Based Education (CBE) Dashboard within VidaNovaVLE™ to support the tracking of learner progression toward competence. This innovative feature will allow learners, coaches/advisors, and competency committees to review and consolidate a wide range of assessment data in real time. By streamlining the tracking process, the dashboard will enable more effective decision-making and foster improved learner outcomes. With this advancement, VidaNovaVLE™ is positioned to become the leading platform for Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), driving transformative change in health sciences education.

Booky V1 is a POS, Staff Manager, and Appointment Software solution for small retail and office environments. Upcoming enhancements will focus on improved performance, security, and reliability. The POS will handle higher transaction volumes and undergo rigorous testing to ensure data integrity and accuracy, resulting in a more robust and efficient solution.

Upper Ohio River Aquatic Habitat Restoration and Monitoring

The project aims to support the Government of Ghana in its short-term recovery efforts from the extended drought spell while building capacity for medium to long term resilience efforts against climate shocks. The project supports a widescale assessment of the extended dry spell and its impact on poor and vulnerable households in the Upper East region of Ghana. The project builds local capacity for planning, implementing, monitoring, and assessing the impacts of crisis response initiatives and integrating lessons learned to inform sustainability and future responses to similar crisis. Project support may include experimentation and would contribute to an evidence-based approach on findings related to the extended dry spell, drawing on the insights and experiences of beneficiaries, including farmers, pastoralists, decentralized government agencies, and private sector actors along the agriculture value chain. This project presents an opportunity to gather real-time information on the extended dry spell to rapidly respond to its consequential effects on the livelihoods and productivity of the farmers. The project also supports farmers with capacity building and agricultural inputs to enhance food security and livestock production while building resilience to the effects of climate change.

This project will support the planning for the relocation of a bilingual arts organization offering unique film programming in Northeastern Ontario.
