A research team led by Sylvain Bouix will analyze data from a clinical trial to better understand the mechanisms of action of new drugs designed to treat psychosis. The development of new data analysis tools could help design clinical trials better adapted to patients' actual needs.
Professor Lapointe suggests treating certain types of wastewater with passive, modular, and decentralized solutions, reducing techno-economic barriers. These solutions include bioretention cells, aggregate-decant systems, and seepage areas through functionalized soils.
The Ecole de technologie superieure hosts two new research chairs on artificial intelligence applied to health. The chairs aim to train qualified personnel who can work in a field combining AI and healthcare. Researchers plan to develop algorithms that improve real-time assessment of patient status and reduce ICU readmission rates.
Researchers from ÉTS and IRSST developed new earplugs by understanding the relationship between ear canal shapes and earplug design. The study found that the 'first elbow' area of the ear canal is closely linked to noise attenuation, enabling the creation of more comfortable and effective earplugs.
The École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) has introduced a new engineering research chairs program, focusing on resilience and determination. The $5 million initiative aims to foster diversity and equity in research excellence.
