Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-00719, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Gulak, Glenn (University of Toronto), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : A major challenge in continuous care is the adoption and retention of new technologies. Introducing a_x000D_
technology solution that requires no change in behaviour of the patient or caretaker maximizes the likelihood of_x000D_
adoption and retention, and unlocks the potential of technological improvements to increase the quality of_x000D_
patient care. Studio 1 Labs is a Canadian technology company that has developed an intelligent bed sheet with_x000D_
fabric sensor technology for continuous monitoring of physiological information such as heart rate and_x000D_
respiratory rate. This monitoring is completely non-invasive and involves no hassle for the patient as it enables_x000D_
the detection of clinical endpoints without requiring any attachments to the body. The potential for adoption of_x000D_
this technology is high, as it simply involves replacing existing bed sheets with the intelligent bed sheets, and_x000D_
has the potential to reduce the costs of continuous monitoring. The purpose of this project is to design and_x000D_
implement improved electronics and signal processing systems to enable more widespread deployment of the_x000D_
