Academic Partnerships with McMaster University<\/strong><\/p>\nIn 2023, we expanded our collaboration with McMaster University to offer more learning, ideation, and partnership opportunities. Notably, The Research Institute partnered with the W Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology to encourage students in developing innovative healthcare solutions, enhancing outcomes for patients, caregivers, and providers alike. Furthermore, in collaboration with McMaster\u2019s Marnix E. Heersink School of Biomedical Innovation and Entrepreneurship, we hosted a segment of the MBI Bootcamp, providing students with hands-on learning experiences, including a code blue simulation in our Simulation Space.<\/p>\n
Further aligning with our \u201cCreate, Test, Spread\u201d framework, we continued running the Healthcare Innovation Bootcamp at The Clinic @ St. Joe\u2019s. This program supports health innovators and researchers in exploring and validating their ideas, advancing them toward commercial success through weekly challenges.<\/p>\n

Through close collaboration with Minister Filomena Tassi from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), Innovation Factory, and the Synapse Consortium, we have helped startups bring their technologies into St. Joseph\u2019s Health System via the SOPHIE program.<\/p>\n
One of many successes is our work with PreOperative Performance<\/a>, where we partnered to test their anisotropic diffusion phantom technology on MRI systems. This collaboration aims to provide neuroradiologists with improved tools to assess the quality of MRI diffusion imaging protocols, achieving new levels of precision in the field.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”55px”][vc_single_image image=”1968″ img_size=”medium”][vc_single_image image=”51″ img_size=”medium”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
