Partnerships between local industry, health-care facilities and researchers are critical to help address the equipment shortages currently faced during the pandemic.
That’s why researchers at Ontario Tech University are collaborating with organizations, such as, the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association, InkSmith and Lakeridge Health to develop and clinically validate face shields for health-care workers.
The team’s research and development for the protective gear is enabling local production and regional flexibility to ensure health-care providers can rapidly replenish their supply stocks.
