Joint Research Centre in AI for Health and Wellness

The Joint Research Centre in AI for Health and Wellness (AI4HW) is recognized internationally as an expert in using artificial intelligence and other advanced computing and information technology techniques to create new approaches to improve physical and mental health and wellness. A unique collaborative research centre between Ontario Tech University in Ontario, Canada, and the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, the Centre is also recognized for its expertise in the assessment and development of resilience and adaption in extreme environments, such as space, climates with extreme heat or extreme cold, extreme work environments such as the military, tactical officers and firefighters and critical care medicine. No similar innovative advanced prototyping and simulation environment to support next-generation health and wellness solutions exists in the world. The Centre utilizes and creates innovative approaches in big data analytics and artificial intelligences for the analysis of medical sensor and Internet of Things data. We demonstrate how to provision these new solutions in the cloud. We partner with the Ontario Tech ACE Facility to use controlled climates to develop innovative approaches to extreme climate acclimation.
