Centre for Mobile Innovation

移动计算及其支持行业在我们的社会中无处不在，对创新解决方案的需求迫在眉睫。物联网(IoT)、可穿戴计算、增强/虚拟现实(AR/VR)和机器学习的技术进步将使企业能够提高生产率、竞争力、市场份额和盈利能力。虽然中小型公司认识到这些革命性技术的潜力可以改善他们的业务，但许多公司既没有资源也没有专业知识来实现他们想要的目标。谢里丹移动创新中心(CMI)将通过让教师、学生和行业合作伙伴参与合作项目来改善业务创新，从而弥合这一差距，并加强该领域的本地和地区能力。CMI的总体计划是专注于医疗保健领域，利用领先的移动和技术趋势为医疗保健问题创造创新的解决方案。Sheridan在移动计算方面拥有丰富的经验，并在吸引行业合作伙伴参与应用研究方面拥有丰富的经验。CMI将使当地和地区性公司立即受益，使他们能够利用教师的专业知识来开发解决移动计算挑战的解决方案，提供获得专门设备和高素质学生的途径，这些学生将带来最新的研究知识。CMI将成为中小企业从尖端研究和开发中实现利润的催化剂，并通过改善它们的技术转移和商业创新机会。

Mobile computing and its supporting industries are pervasive in our society and the need for innovative solutions is pressing and immediate. The technological advancements of Internet of Things (IoT), Wearable Computing, Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR), and Machine Learning will enable businesses to improve their productivity, competitiveness, market share and profitability. While small- and medium-sized companies recognize the potential of these revolutionary technologies to improve their businesses, many have neither the resources nor expertise to achieve their desired goals. Sheridan's Centre for Mobile Innovation (CMI) will bridge that gap and strengthen local and regional competency in this area by engaging faculty, students and industry partners in collaborative projects to improve business innovation. The overarching plan for the CMI is to focus on the domain of Healthcare, creating innovative solutions to healthcare problems using leading mobile and technologies trends. Sheridan has extensive experience in mobile computing and with engaging industry partners in applied research. The CMI will immediately benefit local and regional companies by making it possible for them to engage faculty expertise in developing solutions to their mobile computing challenges, by providing access to specialized equipment and highly qualified students who will bring the latest research knowledge with them. The CMI will serve as a catalyst for SMEs to realize profits from cutting-edge research and development, and by improving their technology transfer and business innovation opportunities.
