Calmos
Yasmine Ben Arous, QC
Calmos is an innovative application designed to remotely monitor anxious students in real time, providing them with the necessary support and resources to manage their mental distress. This is performed by an artificial intelligence synchronized to a wearable device that collects valuable data related to certain physiological symptoms of stress.
Clothes with QR code technology for companies and schools
Amir Frih, QC
We add a third dimension to clothing, a dimension made possible by QR code technology. We place promotional content directly on the T-shirt, such as videos, photos, website movies and many other things that can help the person wearing this garment to convey much more information than with a simple fabric.
Second Soap
Matis Leandre Cabrolier and Virgile Volclair, QC
Second Soap recycles unused soaps from hotels by collecting, cleaning and redistributing them to charities in need. This initiative helps the environment by reducing waste and social assistance by providing staples. Join Second Soap for a sustainable and more equitable future.
Take A Byte Out of CO2
Cassidy Engo and Lauren Engo, QC
Our innovation is a proven 3-part plan to effectively reduce our individual electronic CO2 (eCO2) footprint. We created an educational video and a simple integrated eCO2 calculator on a website to help people understand their screen time viewing’s impact on the environment, then implemented application limits. In minutes, anyone can effectively reduce their eCO2 footprint and help our environment.
