About us

 Métis is an organisation made up of students from multiple disciplines. The organisation is focused on the biomedical aspect of engineering. In 2010, a few engineering students from the biomedical department decided to launch Métis in order to make a difference in the community with their acquired knowledge. Since then, Métis has made an impression at Polytechnique Montréal with its unique projects and its growing pace.

 The lack of hygienic care for elders in CHSLD centers inspired our team to develop an automated shower.

 The lack of hygienic care for elders in CHSLD centers inspired our team to develop an automated shower. The product would accommodate both the patient and the caregiver by offering a quicker, more efficient and less demanding alternative to current hygiene protocols. Its ease of use ultimately leads to more frequent washings for patients and an improvement in their well-being. The project combines advantages of showers and baths in an adjustable chair offering sitting and lying positions. Tubes move alongside the chair, cleaning the patient's body with pressurized water jets. The patient lies on a bed of permeable textilene fabric, thus permitting a thorough cleaning of both the front and rear sides while maintaining a comfortable environment.

 The main goal of the new project is to design and develop an exoskeleton to assist patients affected by muscular dystrophy in everyday movements. Our system seeks transparency while reproducing upper-body movements as fluently and naturally as possible. For that purpose, the actions must be operated by machine learning using electromyographic signals, which will be captured by dry electrodes. The frame of the exoskeleton is printed in 3D for each patient by means of a scan of the upper-body. It will allow the alignment of the motors rotation axes with those of the articulations. Our product is then highly customizable and has the ability to adapt to the patient in order to assure an intuitive control of the device.

 Métis collaborated with Marie Enfant Research Institute and CHU Sainte-Justine in order to design a child friendly and smart wheelchair. The project is based on the conception of a wheelchair endowed with multiple sensors suitable to young children. For the sake of reducing the psychological impact, the shell has a ladybug look, an inviting design for any kid. This project has now been completed and handed back to the CHU Sainte-Justine institute.
