About Vice-Principal ResearchThe Queen's Partnerships and Innovation (QPI) team develops and facilitates partnerships with industry, governments, not-for-profit organizations, and other academic institutions to advance the research enterprise at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and the commercialization and protection of inventions, and to strengthen the regional innovation ecosystem in Kingston and Eastern Ontario.
The QPI team supports the 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션s strategic goal to build community partnerships and fully embed Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in the community. With support from external funding, the QPI team offers numerous services, resources, and programs to support entrepreneurs, including those from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, and to accelerate the growth of startups and small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within Kingston and Eastern Ontario.
More than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson카지노 게임 컬렉션s and 25 more are diagnosed every day. A diagnosis for Parkinson카지노 게임 컬렉션s, a neurodegenerative disease, may take months, or even years, of searching for answers to seemingly unexplainable symptoms ().
A newly formed company in Kingston is using Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션s researcher Doug Munoz카지노 게임 컬렉션s innovative solution to make a diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson카지노 게임 컬렉션s more quickly and accurately. Dynamiris is developing a fast, objective, and low-cost tool that clinicians can implement right in their office to flag patients earlier for further testing, which can then lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes for patients.
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Partnerships and Innovation (QPI) drafted and filed a first patent application in 1999 for Professor Munoz, for which a United States patent was granted in 2001. Since that time, Dr. Munoz and his research team have continued to develop more intellectual property, and QPI drafted, filed, and prosecuted a second patent application for which another United States patent was granted in 2014. In 2022, QPI drafted and filed an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for Dr. Munoz카지노 게임 컬렉션s eye tracking technology for detecting brain disorders.
Dr. Munoz credits the shut-down of the pandemic with how quickly they were able to accelerate aspects of the eye tracking technology.
카지노 게임 컬렉션With everything shut down and everyone at home, it gave us time to build new analysis pipelines and analyze data to find critical data markers,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Munoz. 카지노 게임 컬렉션From the data we have collected from patients and animal subjects, we have been able to get important behavioural information from eye-tracking, which has in turn helped to create an algorithm for identifying diseases. I카지노 게임 컬렉션m not sure we would have been here as fast if not for the extra time to analyze the data.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션We saw the market potential for the research that Dr. Munoz was working on,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Michael Wells, Partnerships Development Officer (Health and Life Sciences) with QPI. 카지노 게임 컬렉션So, when an opportunity to collaborate with the Toronto Innovation Acceleration Partners came up, we knew that Dr. Munoz카지노 게임 컬렉션s technology would be a great fit.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The is a not-for-profit organization with a mandate to bring members카지노 게임 컬렉션 most promising research breakthroughs to market. TIAP offers a suite of programs and funding to help inventors advance their innovations. In 2020, TIAP invited Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to join its new Venture Builder Program, an initiative led by TIAP with funding from the Federal Economic Development Agency of Southern Ontario (FDO). This funding, combined with the requisite matching contribution from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, has enabled QPI to encourage, support, and guide the establishment and launch of three health-care companies to commercialize intellectual property assigned to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Dynamiris is one of the startups that is benefitting from QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션s guidance and networks, and an initial investment made possible by the FDO funding. Dr. Wells leads the TIAP Venture Builder Program at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Michael Wells has been instrumental in getting us to the starting line. He has shown tremendous patience with the mentoring of getting us to this point,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Munoz.
In the short amount of time since incorporating, Dynamiris has seen some early success.
The first step in bringing the technology to market through the Venture Builder Program was for Dr. Munoz to bring on a partner who could work full-time on developing and incorporating the company. Dr. Janis Kan, a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 neuroscience PhD graduate joined as co-founder of Dynamiris.
In May 2022, Dr. Kan took home the top prize of $5,000 (sponsored by and supported by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science) at the Mitacs Invention to Innovation (i2i) Skills Training Final Pitch Competition. Dynamiris has also been busy making connections through QPI. A recent participant in the Wings Acceleration program, that spanned the late spring and early summer, Dr. Kan credits the program with helping her better understand and identify differentiators, and how to apply them to the business.
Wings is aimed at startups in the early, pre-revenue, stages of development. The Wings facilitators give startup founders the tools and guidance they need to evaluate the feasibility of their business idea, determine what they really have to offer customers, and begin developing a working business model.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The program helped reiterate the importance of doing customer interviews, how to ask appropriate questions, and gave me ideas on how to reach out to customers,카지노 게임 컬렉션 adds Dr. Kan.
Dr. Kan has also tapped into the resources made available through other QPI projects and initiatives, including QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션s Go-to-Market programs and services, and the WE-CAN Project at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트. The Konnect program, offered by the Dunin-Deshpande Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Innovation Centre as part of the WE-CAN Project, provided Dr. Kan with an additional network, support system, and personal and professional development opportunities.
As for next steps, Dynamiris is continuing to develop the technology and tools through which to deliver their eye tracking protocols. They plan to recruit more patients 카지노 게임 컬렉션 as the more data they have, the more accurate the algorithm becomes 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and they continue to set up the company with the aim of fully commercializing the product.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Ideally we can create a fully automated process,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Kan. 카지노 게임 컬렉션If we can build the program prototype and get it into doctors카지노 게임 컬렉션 offices, we can hopefully deliver same day results. It could be a game-changer for patient diagnoses.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션Dynamiris is a great example of how all of our ecosystem projects that receive support from FedDev Ontario 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the Scale-Up Platform, HI YGK, WE-CAN, and Venture Builder 카지노 게임 컬렉션 work together synergistically to help build and grow a company,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Janice Mady, Director, Research and Innovation Partnerships with QPI. 카지노 게임 컬렉션From formation, incorporation, and the assembly of co-founders and a support structure using Venture Builder resources, to customer discovery and market validation using Scale-Up resources, to mentorship and Go-to-Market support through HI-YGK, and networking through WE-CAN, Dynamiris has been able to tap into numerous complementary supports, providing it with a strong foundation for growth.카지노 게임 컬렉션
