This project is intended to enhance Ski Anywhere to better position the platform to serve large resorts. Functional enhancements include GPS Integration, improved e-commerce capabilities, and an overall technology refresh.

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.

• Build a new robust commercial platform
• Have a SaaS product that allows us to deliver first-class solutions within the space.

Development of new continuous flow technology to replace our current batch process to make our silicone polyethers. Our current batch production is a multistep process that requires long cycle times (72 hrs) to complete all steps. It utilizes large reactors and processing vessels, requires large volume of solvents and is energy inefficient. With a Contiflow it is our objective to reduce cycle times to 24 hrs, reduce the use of solvents by 50% or eliminate them. The Contiflow Process in tubular reactors is expected to cut the energy consumption by at least 50 % as well as reduce the generated material waste. Additional important benefits are a safer plant operation and a more consistent product quality.

The purpose of this project is to provide doctors with a better understanding and use AI results for a clinical decision support system in psychiatric treatment.

Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to develop international partnerships and potential project ideas under the EUREKA, Eurostars, and Cluster Programs.

Design a data-lake around all modules within Compliance Science that can measure risk, controls, incidents, and sites. Within this data-lake, apply machine learning to identify variances within assessed risk (frequency, probability, severity) as well as the level of risk mitigation provided by proper controls, in relationship to incidents resulting from risks as well as field/site assessments. The project will help identify if risk is under-estimated, over-estimated or incomplete, as well as factors related to the effectiveness of controls and procedures.

Physical stimulus is recognized in being able to retain the overall strength and independence of seniors. Its benefit on the nervous system and blood circulation is fundamentally important in helping seniors to battle ageing in a daily basis and prolong their healthy and independent life. This project is to develop smart textile technology that will integrate actuators and sensors into textile wearable products to provide daily and on-demand physical stimulus to the aged wearers at home. It aims to create an innovative living environment for seniors and help them to safely live at home

Aging is the predominant risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Recently, DNA methylation has been used to estimate the brain age and the brain age acceleration (defined as the difference between its biological and chronological ages) has been linked to increased risk of AD and other dementias. It remains an open question whether the brain’s accelerated aging can be inferred from DNA methylation obtained from easily accessible tissues such as peripheral blood. The main objective of this project is to identify peripheral blood epigenetic biomarkers for brain age, AD and other dementias and develop a predictive machine learning model for evaluating disease risk. Such a predictor would identify those people at greatest risk of developing the disease earlier, when disease modifying therapies are deemed most effective, reducing the need for long-term care and increasing quality of life.

The sweat wristbands will need low power consumption components to ensure truly wearable and portable, which is critical to such applications. The current driving and sensing components require high operating voltage making it impossible to run with current available batteries. One of the solutions to reduce the operation voltage of the sensing and circuit components is to leverage the electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistors (EGFETs) which may operate at
