WHO WE ARE

SUCCESS STORIES

For nurses in a Montréal hospital’s intensive care unit, as in any ICU, an alert from a patient’s monitor can mean life or death. So, a Mitacs intern helped develop a high-tech headset to sort vital signals from ambient noise

Mitacs-funded postdoctoral fellow Mahsa Kalantari helps workwear-entrepreneur Jess Black develop a fire-retardant, stretchable fabric that will fill a critical gap in the market for protective gear for women.

NO MATTER THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, WE CAN HELP.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

Keeping hospitals at the forefront of cutting-edge innovation can be demanding. Increased costs and supply shortages, patient safety, virtual care, energy issues, data management, and staff burnout are just some of the issues hospitals are facing.

Solving those challenges requires time, talent, and budget. But finding the ideal combination of these three elements can also be a challenge.

Mitacs can help bridge those gaps.

We connect hospitals of all sizes with post-secondary researchers for innovative projects — from AI to HR and more — ensuring hospitals are on the front line of not just the best medicine, but all the best practices.
