"These two technologies will each contribute in their own way to the well-being of tens of thousands of people: the Myelin application will provide a reliable source of information on autism spectrum disorder to caregivers and families, while the SonX device, from EERS, will reduce the number of cases of occupational deafness," said Marie Lambert-Chan, Editor-in-Chief of Québec Science.

ÉTS is proud to announce that MITACS and NRC-IRAP Award for Commercialization have recognized Rachel Bouserhal, postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, for her contribution to occupational health and safety.

ISHN (Industrial Safety And Health News) every year hosts the "best of the best" for your workplace safety. Thousands of ISHN subscribers voted online in ISHN's 2017 Readers' Choice Awards and the results are in: EERS wins 1st prize in the category of Hearing Protection - Communication Headsets.
