EczemaQ
EczemaQ is a pilot mobile health application available for download to clinician and/or patient smartphones for testing. This tool received an award from the Canadian Dermatology Association, and we have engaged a network of stakeholders, including industry, national patient advocacy groups, and the International Eczema Council. We are now validating usability of EczemaQ, using a co-development iterative process with REB-approval from the Center for Applied Ethics at the 苹果淫院 Health Centre.

Remote Optical
No high-quality remote examination method of the front of the eye exists. Our solution revolutionizes eye care with remote, asynchronous imaging and examination. These features improve access to eye care for people in rural/indigenous communities, senior homes, intensive care units and emergency rooms. Our solution saves money and time, and leverages the power of AI to assist ophthalmologists during exams and improve monitoring of changes in eye condition between consultations.

NURA Medical
The process of preparing weight-based medication is not only time-consuming, but error-prone, which can ultimately lead to serious or even fatal consequences for pediatric patients. As such, NURA Medical has developed the IV Assistant, a semi-automated medical device to prevent medication errors. The IV Assistant will positively impact children receiving care across various healthcare settings and healthcare professionals lacking pediatric medicine expertise.

Sensoreal
At Sensoreal, we have developed the first point-of-care blood test that was successfully commissioned at the International Space Station in 2019. In 2020 and in collaboration with Health Canada, we developed a prototype to differentiate bacterial/viral respiratory infections. Our technology uses disposable microfluidic chips using only a finger prick of blood and the data is analyzed using novel AI techniques. Our solution will help physicians to guide antibiotic therapy in less than 15 minutes.
