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.

YEP - Business Development and Planning
972999
We have developed the patent-pending Healthsign smart wristband that integrates proprietary biosensors and algorithms to accurately monitor all vital signs including body temperature, blood oxygen saturation, respiration rate, heart rate, and non-invasive blood pressure.
The commercial production of the Healthsign smart wristband is currently underway.
In this 52-week project we will hire Ms. Shaista Jaffer to work on various business development and planning activities like creating pricing strategies, marketing, generating sales, enabling local and international market penetration, and raising capital.
This project is expected to enhance the scalability and sustainability of our firm and product.

Development of a Commercial Grade Embedded System for a Multiparameter Physiological Monitor
928312
We have successfully developed a working prototype (V0.1) of a desktop-based remote multiparameter physiological monitor that acquires and analyzes vital signs data like ECG, pulse, blood pressure (BP), SpO2, and respiration. For rapid prototyping and testing, this system has been developed using National Instruments (NI) hardware and LabVIEW software.
We want to undertake the current IRAP project to embark on the critical task of converting our prototype V0.1 into a fully-functional commercial-grade embedded clinical device (V1.0) that will comprise a microcontroller chip interfaced with our proprietary biosensors, a touchscreen display, and embedded C running on the microcontroller for data acquisition/control/analysis.
