Traditional medical monitoring systems are often costly and complex.

Remote monitoring is transforming healthcare, allowing continuous patient oversight outside clinical settings. Consumer wearables like Apple Watches and Fitbits empower users to track vital signs, activity, and sleep in real-time. This project seeks to adapt consumer-grade wearables for scalable, real-time health data access, integrating them with remote health systems. This approach enables continuous monitoring by healthcare professionals and automatic alerts for both patients and providers, ensuring timely care and peace of mind from
any location.

The Sense (Supporting Emotional Wellness in Nurses and Social Workers in E-Mental Health) program was co-designed with healthcare professionals to address the need for emotional wellness support in healthcare workers. This program addresses the mental health challenges of healthcare professionals through six weekly sessions on a video-based telehealth platform. It combines virtual group cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with real-time feedback from an AI-enabled stress monitoring assistant, tailoring CBT modules to participants' stress responses. 

Parents of neonatal babies who have undergone surgery face challenges during recovery. Transitioning from hospital care to managing their high-needs baby at home can be overwhelming and stressful, with many parents unsure how to identify normal versus concerning signs or when to seek help. NeoApp: ERAS at Home offers personalized support to empower parents, while reducing unnecessary ER visits. It helps track recovery, share progress with healthcare providers, and provides resources like videos and discussion boards for confident at-home care. Grounded in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles, NeoApp offers evidence-based guidance tailored to each baby.

The team at Neursantys have developed an innovative wearable device, to maintain and restore vestibular balance and motor control. The initial application was intended for astronauts, but has been adapted to aid rehabilitation in seniors and prevent falls. This device uses low-level non-invasive electrical vestibular stimulation (EVS) to activate long-lasting neuroplastic restoration of balance and gait. The tech is being tested on older adults and individuals with multiple sclerosis, with potential applications for Parkinson’s disease, stroke and cognitive decline. Pilot testing has demonstrated increased ambulatory confidence, mobility, and independence in users. The Neursantys team is currently pursuing Health Canada and FDA approvals.

Women in rural and remote areas face barriers to accessing pelvic floor rehabilitation, resulting in delayed or missed care. While pelvic floor exercises are effective, many postpartum women don’t receive timely treatment, and older women’s symptoms are often overlooked. Research shows that intergenerational approaches enhance community engagement and social support. This project explores the effects of intergenerational vs. monogenerational exercise programs through telerehabilitation to improve incontinence outcomes and promote community engagement.

Access to immediate medical care is challenging for those injured in remote or high-risk areas, such as Indigenous communities, hiking paths, or during wildfires. Delays faced by firefighters and EMS responders can lead to critical time loss and increased fatality risks. Limited telemedicine networks and the inability to monitor vital symptoms like blood pressure and oxygen levels further strain emergency response efforts. The Start-the-Breathe project utilizes drone technology to deliver kits with medical supplies in inaccessible areas, where emergency responders can't reach easily or quickly.
