Grant: Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund

University of Manitoba

$25,000.00

An innovative virtual reality system for phantom limb pain therapy in an acute healthcare setting

FY 2020-21 · 2021-03-31

Summary
We aim to develop a novel virtual reality system for therapy of the phantom limb pain often experienced by individuals with limb loss. It is hoped the potentially self-administered system will lead to cheaper, more engaging and more effective non-pharmacological treatment options than are currently available.

Description
We aim to develop a novel virtual reality system for therapy of the phantom limb pain often experienced by individuals with limb loss. It is hoped the potentially self-administered system will lead to cheaper, more engaging and more effective non-pharmacological treatment options than are currently available.
Description (French)
Nous prévoyons de développer un nouveau système de réalité virtuelle pour la thérapie de la douleur du membre fantôme dont souffrent souvent les personnes qui ont perdu un membre. On espère que le système autoadministré constituera une solution de traitement non pharmacologique plus économique, plus engageante et plus efficace que les options disponibles.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.

Program Name
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Name (French)
Programme de collaboration en science, en technologie et en innovation – Fonds d’idéation
Program Purpose
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Fonds d’idéation vise à encourager, à mettre à l’essai et à valider les idées de recherche transformatrice des équipes scientifiques du CNRC et des collaborateurs externes dotés de capacités complémentaires. Il servira ainsi de plateforme de démonstration d’une série de produits livrables en matière de recherche-développement (R-D) en constante évolution au CNRC. Le Fonds appuie la recherche exploratoire au moyen de deux mécanismes : l’Initiative « Nouveaux débuts » et l’Initiative « Petites équipes ».
