Technology is being increasing used to monitor patient health and post-operative recovery. Xerus Inc., based inVancouver, B.C., has developed an activity tracking monitoring system for the home to allow medicalpractitioners to study and track the recovery of patients in their homes. The hope, is that this new technologywill speed the recovery of patients and improve post-operative health care. Working with Xerus Inc., theKrigolson Laboratory at the University will develop research analysis software to process and analyze the datathat comes from the Xerus activity monitoring system. Importantly, the Krigolson Laboratory has vast expertisein digital and analog signal processing. Furthermore, the Krigolson Laboratory also has members, including theprincipal investigator, Dr. Krigolson with extensive programming experience. These two factors combine tomake the Krigolson Laboratory the ideal venue for this project in collaboration with Xerus Inc.In addition to the benefits that Xerus Inc. will receive from this project, there are benefits to Canada as well:the project will contribute to the development of a new standard in patient health care at home. By developingdata analysis software (and developing a research SDK) in addition to opening up the Xerus system for morewidespread use by the development of our software package, this project will promote growth in the Canadianeconomy and research environments across the nation. Ottawa has expressed tremendous support for healthrelated research in Canada, with a $100 million initiative at Toronto's Baycrest Health Science Centre, forexample, to address issues of aging and brain health, healthcare and monitoring and preventive measures.
