Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

NLP Engine for Gait, Balance and Cognitive Assessments

Agreement Number:

1003935

Duration: from Apr 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

OKAKI is developing a healthcare product - Gaitly - to use mobile device cameras and state of the art deep learning (vision/NLP) to administer gait, balance and cognitive assessments. These types of assessments are important to assess risk and monitor treatment/disease progression in many common conditions (e.g., falls, concussions, Parkinson's). Gaitly will disrupt the market, and become a new standard of practice, as it will enable any healthcare provider or consumer to administer, track and share more accurate and objective, evidence-based, normative assessments. All competing products today require trained professionals, specialized equipment or wearables, or use only the motion sensors on mobile devices (vsGaitly's use of cameras).
