Develop oil field pressure control equipment for coiled tubing and wireline operations in response to demand from global customers. A new set of products will improve operational efficiency, implement positive environmental technologies and improve worksite safety.

Planit Measuring proposes to undertake R&D activities to develop an innovative and cutting-edge, BIM-based automated energy audit as its new service offering. By combining efficient data capture, real-time BIM modelling, real-time energy modelling, and analytics within this project, we will provide accurate and cost-effective energy audits, real-time asset monitoring, and control of energy performance within a facility.

FieldPro software will develop additional functionality currently not available to allow more efficient operations during well abandonment, well servicing operations, and vehicle fleet management.

Develop a data intelligence software platform that aggregates and analyses data from all connected external sources of restaurant online orders.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm

Yellow Pencil is a software and website development company. This project will support the employment of a newly graduated employee.

Research showed that health disparity within virtual care stems from the fact that a large amount of human-computer interaction (HCI) systems are designed for someone conceived as the "standard person" overlooking all the people with different physical, sensory or cognitive features. The issue of matching product features with users' characteristics is currently being addressed by the own user adapting themselves to the interface. As a consequence, users who are not able to adapt themselves are simply left out and cannot benefit from those products or services. The goal of this project is to develop an inclusive HCI design of virtual care to accommodate cardiac rehab patients with disability. This project is divided into 3 PAGE 4 main phases. In the first phase of this project, the research team will explore the current state of inclusivity of the technologies that are currently being used by cardiac rehab older adult patients. In the next phase, the research team will put the patients with disability at the core of our research study and will capture their unique needs in terms of receiving virtual cardiac rehabilitation. After conducting a series of studies and understanding where the technology should be and what features they have to offer to the patients, the research team then will conduct a feasibility and barriers assessment to clarify a path forward and provide recommendations to technology providers, health providers, health administrators, and government authorities on how to make virtual care more inclusive and accommodative to people with disability.

Project to evaluate and quantify whether the addition of microbial consortia to lagoons promotes sludge digestion and water treatment performance.

Poor prescription adherence is a cause in —50% of hospital admissions, causing annual deaths of —125 000 and over $100 billion in annual costs to the healthcare industry1. This project will investigate new technologies to monitor and aid adherence to prescribed medication plans, in order to enable seniors to live longer, healthier and more independent lives. The project will be split into two concurrent work streams (WS). The first WS will focus on development of next generation smart blister packaging. This project builds on almost a decade of expertise in smart packaging at Jones Healthcare Group (JHG), much of which was gained during the Printable Electronics Flagship Program in collaboration with NRC. In particular, JHG now have significant experience in the manufacture, distribution and testing of smart blister packaging, based on a multiple trials performed in recent years. This WS aims to improve manufacturability and add further functionality to smart blister packaging in order to promote adherence and enhance accessibility. The second WS will look at other technologies to aid medication adherence. This will include technologies to monitor liquid medication, as well as methods to monitor other pharmaceutical dispensing technologies. These technologies will enable older adults to live independent lives for longer by improving medication efficiency, reducing hospital admissions, and reassuring family and friends.
