The 4th Annual Research Review of the hSITE Network was held November 18, 2013, in Montreal. Attendees included Network researchers, students and post-doctoral fellows, and representatives from our industry, healthcare and university partners.

  This year’s event showcased some exciting results from the Network-funded research. The agenda included demo-focused presentations by five hSITE researchers, as well as hSITE-related highlights from two of our industrial partners (Chris Ault, QNX Software Systems, and Suzanne Rochford, Telus Health).

  A student poster and demo session/competition, featuring 30 posters and 12 demos, completed the day. Winners of the poster competition were:

  Stephanie Bennett (Carleton University): “Automated Assessment of Mobility in Bedridden Patients”; Hadi Bahrami (Université Laval): “Realizing Implanted Wireless UWB Transceiver for Neural Recording Applications”; Emily Porter (McGill University): “Microwave Radar for Breast Imaging”.

  The winning demo was presented by Akib Uddin (University of Toronto): “Application of Medical Body Area Networks to Reduce Blood Pressure in Ambulatory Settings”
