MROO also awarded its second targeted scholarship with Carleton University to Phillippe Forster, from Gatineau, Quebec, who was in his first year of a Master of Applied Science in Computer Engineering. His thesis work is seeking to improve at home patient monitoring systems that would be able to reduce patients trips to the hospital by creating a device that can monitor ECG activity, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and create stethoscope measurements. Professor Bruce Wallace, Executive Director of SAM3 AGE-WELL National Innovation Hub, is supporting Phillippe in his research aimed at improving senior's ability to age in place with the AGEWELL group. After his graduate work, Phillippe would like to work for a startup company in the health or technology sector.
