Contributions to research

Centre for Applied AI (formerly known as the Centre for Mobile Innovation) project: Using data science and machine learning techniques for the prediction of osteoporosis

In this collaborative research project involving Inovex, Osteoporosis Canada and Sheridan’s Centre for Applied AI (formerly known as the Centre for Mobile Innovation), we are addressing the challenging problem by exploring and analyzing osteoporosis data through data science and machine learning techniques. The goal is to better understand the characteristics and interrelationships between factors that may impact whether a person is susceptible to contracting this disease. The research activities will also include determining the predictors with insights that may lead to better prevention strategies.

Centre for Applied AI (formerly known as the Centre for Mobile Innovation) project: Predictive analytics in health care

As the main outcome for the project, our team designed and developed a system prototype for decision-making activity in a health-care sector with Boomi integration platform support. Boomi is a business platform provided by industrial partner Interware that specializes in cloud-based integration, API management and master data management. The system prototype we have built provides diagnosis error prevention based on EHR (Electronic Health-care Record) and doctor medical notes. The project demonstrated a great support for Boomi as a platform environment for integrate data from various sources, with effective real-time data management, and with a possibility of further analytics and medical decision making activity in health care.

Centre for Applied AI (formerly known as the Centre for Mobile Innovation) project: EMS simulator

Design and develop an efficient processing system for multi-channel Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) circuit. EMS involves the use of pulsed electrical current to stimulate muscle "motor points," causing the corresponding muscle to contract. The EMS device generates an amplitude controlled pulsed electrical signal and passes it to the targeted "motor point" via an electrode.

Centre for Applied AI (formerly known as the Centre for Mobile Innovation) project: Smart home

Creating mobile solutions based on smart-home technologies (using IoT sensors, wireless tag sensors (http://wirelesstag.net) and other sensors) to assist older adults to live well, independently and safely, at their homes.
