Leaders in Innovation

After all, it’s human connection and sharing of insights that often leads to innovation.

“I already had engineering basics and understood most of the core values, but what I needed was an entry into the industry,” says Grewal. “I knew SAIT would give me hands-on experience.” With Qube’s early detection and continual monitoring, methane emissions — one of the leading factors of global warming — are being reduced every day. “Qube is growing day by day. We are getting bigger, and we have a bigger impact on the environment,” says Grewal. And his efforts have not gone unnoticed.

“Anything that we can do to speed up the acquisition of MRI images for those patients is extremely helpful,” explains Dr. John Lysack, a radiologist at EFW Radiology. To that end, EFW Radiology is in the trial process for a new AI software called Deep Resolve that could improve MRI scan times. So far, the trial is showing promising results.

He explains that in the not-too-distant past, it was practically impossible to use MRIs for some patients, like those who cannot remain still as they need to swallow or cough, for example. “Now with AI, the game is starting to change. We’re not saying never anymore,” he says. “The things that even a year ago we wouldn’t have thought about trying to image with MRI, we’re now successfully starting to image.

Caring for aging people requires time, expertise and relational care, as their needs are complex and change over time. And yet, their need for skilled care and adequate support to age in place longer are often not prioritized or even recognized. As the Chair of Older Adult Health at MRU and the centre’s director, Jocelyn Rempel understands the pressing demand to provide innovative solutions targeted to the unique needs of older adults.

Looking ahead to 2030, the youngest of the baby boomers — the largest generation in Canada’s population — will reach the age of 65. It’s imperative that we prepare to accommodate their diverse and complex needs. The centre plays a critical role in this preparation by promoting innovation and collaboration to combat ageism and influencing policy across sectors.
