Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-00950, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Krigolson, Olave (University of Victoria), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : British Columbia|Colombie-Britannique, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Technology is being increasing used to monitor patient health and post-operative recovery. Xerus Inc., based in_x000D_
Vancouver, B.C., has developed an activity tracking monitoring system for the home to allow medical_x000D_
practitioners to study and track the recovery of patients in their homes. The hope, is that this new technology_x000D_
will speed the recovery of patients and improve post-operative health care. Working with Xerus Inc., the_x000D_
Krigolson Laboratory at the University will develop research analysis software to process and analyze the data_x000D_
that comes from the Xerus activity monitoring system. Importantly, the Krigolson Laboratory has vast expertise_x000D_
in digital and analog signal processing. Furthermore, the Krigolson Laboratory also has members, including the_x000D_
principal investigator, Dr. Krigolson with extensive programming experience. These two factors combine to_x000D_
make the Krigolson Laboratory the ideal venue for this project in collaboration with Xerus Inc._x000D_
In addition to the benefits that Xerus Inc. will receive from this project, there are benefits to Canada as well:_x000D_
the project will contribute to the development of a new standard in patient health care at home. By developing_x000D_
data analysis software (and developing a research SDK) in addition to opening up the Xerus system for more_x000D_
widespread use by the development of our software package, this project will promote growth in the Canadian_x000D_
economy and research environments across the nation. Ottawa has expressed tremendous support for health_x000D_
related research in Canada, with a $100 million initiative at Toronto's Baycrest Health Science Centre, for_x000D_
example, to address issues of aging and brain health, healthcare and monitoring and preventive measures., program purpose french : Technology is being increasing used to monitor patient health and post-operative recovery. Xerus Inc., based in_x000D_
