AI Health Assistant pilot

Tronos will implement a digital workflow for assembly and test of aerospace systems currently under development. A composable no-code platform will allow Tronos to scale across multiple manufacturing operations, providing full traceability, error-proofing and improved efficiencies. Real-time data logging from connected hardware will provide the foundation for new AI tools to be trained and deployed.

IncluzIT PRO and HOME are integrated into a single digital health and home assessment platform that help streamline care planning, support targeted home adaptations, and improve communication between healthcare providers, patients, and other stakeholders.
This project includes a discovery phase to assess the platform’s technical integrity, scalability, followed by a development phase to address gaps, enhance performance, and ensure privacy and security compliance. The work will also build in-house technical capacity to support ongoing product evolution and ensure platform readiness for clinical pilot testing.

Intensive program of professional consulting services and executive coaching addressing key business issues necessary for innovation and growth of SMEs in the era of digital transformation.

Development and commercialization readiness of an AI-driven high-throughput platform for therapeutic nanoparticle formulation, combining an innovative pumpless consumable with an intelligent software assistant.

CareNav AI is a digital assistant that helps families navigate complex senior care decisions using AI. Leveraging natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), and real-time data, it provides personalized care recommendations, adaptive care plans, and access to care services. Designed for both families and care agencies, it shortens care placement time significantly and supports better-informed decisions. The project will develop and pilot the platform for real-world validation, with future potential as a direct-to-consumer and white-label B2B solution across North America.

The Firm is undertaking a modernization project to improve production efficiency and expand capacity for its premium end-grain cutting boards and wood products. The project involves upgrading equipment, refining workflow layout, and adopting lean manufacturing practices, all while maintaining the craftsmanship and sustainability values core to the brand. This investment will support rural employment in Cape Breton, enhance export readiness, and help scale a Canadian-made product line that celebrates responsibly harvested Eastern Canadian wood.

Develop a modular pediatric traction and positioning system designed to be self-supporting and operate with weights and/or springs. This system can be easily attached to various devices, allowing patients to change positions between lying down, sitting, and standing to maximize traction time. It is designed to adapt to children's disabilities and support needs, offering adjustability and adaptability. In addition, it incorporates a microcontroller with sensors to continuously measure the mechanical loads and stresses applied to the spine.

The project will support the launch of a multi-tenant SaaS platform to optimize logistics, automate client communications, and field operations for SMEs in construction, delivery, and utilities. This project focuses on completing initial R&D, infrastructure refinement, and onboarding automation before large-scale deployment, allowing real-world validation to “de-risk” the product and business model.

WOLF Advanced Technology Canada Inc. will develop a new generation of rugged, high performance embedded computing modules designed for use in extreme aerospace and defense environments. The project will deliver certifiable processing solutions and advanced edge computing platforms that significantly increase computing power, data throughput, and reliability compared to current technologies. These innovations will strengthen Canada’s position in global markets by enabling faster, more capable mission systems for critical applications.
