Company

University of Alberta and University of Calgary researchers have developed an adhesive, conductive gel specifically for full-day EEG monitoring. It's a novel hydrogel with a unique, high-tack texture to ensure superior electrode-to-scalp contact. It enables prolonged, dry-out-free signal acquisition while eliminating common safety hazards of standard market solutions. Comparative EEG trials demonstrated that the gel, even after being rehydrated from a dried powder, delivers superior signal quality compared to standard commercial conductive hydrogels across a wide range of frequencies


About University of Alberta Tech Transfer Services

Technology Transfer Services (TTS) is a division of the University of Alberta that manages the commercialization of university-based research and innovation. The team supports researchers, students, and staff by providing expertise in intellectual property (IP) strategy, patent protection, and market assessment. They facilitate the movement of discoveries into real-world applications by negotiating commercialization agreements, managing material transfer and non-disclosure agreements, and assisting with both licensing opportunities and the creation of startup spinoff companies. By bridging the gap between academic discovery and industry, TTS helps navigate the complexities of technology transfer, ensuring innovations can be effectively deployed to create social and economic value. The team works closely with inventors from the initial reporting of an invention through to the final commercialization stage, providing professional guidance on IP policies, patent filing costs, and industry partnership development. Through these efforts, they maintain active portfolios of available technologies across diverse fields such as engineering, artificial intelligence, life sciences, and physical sciences, connecting university innovators with commercial partners for collaborative development.
