Professor John McPhee delivered the keynote address at the 2022 TransMedTech Grand Conference Series entitled "Dynamics and Model-based Control of Rehabilitation Robots and Exoskeletons". The conference was hosted by Montreal TransMedTech Institute.
New technology could help reduce malnutrition and improve overall health in long-term care homes by automatically recording and tracking how much food residents consume.
The smart system, developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo, the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging and the University Health Network, uses artificial intelligence software to analyze photos of plates of food after residents have eaten.
A company that was co-founded by two Waterloo Engineering professors has been recognized by an agency of the United Nations (UN) for its contributions to a state-of-the-art facility to farm crickets as a source of protein.
