Welcome to the Intelligent Assistive Technology and Systems Lab (IATSL), located in the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at the University of Toronto. We are a multi-disciplinary group of researchers with backgrounds in engineering, computer science, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and gerontology. Our goal is to develop zero-effort technologies that are adaptive, flexible, and intelligent, to enable users to participate fully in their daily lives.
Our projects is the best way to show our work, you can see here a big range of our work.

Alex Mihailidis, Ph.D., P.Eng., is the Barbara G. Stymiest Research Chair in Rehabilitation Technology at the University of Toronto and Toronto Rehab Institute.
Babak Taati, PhD PEng, is a Senior Scientist at KITE Research Institute | Toronto Rehab-University Health Network.... He also holds an Associate Professor appointment at the University of Toronto, in the Department of Computer Science and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (status only). His research applies computer vision technologies to solve real-world health care challenges in rehabilitation and the management of chronic conditions.
Rosalie Wang, PhD, OT Reg. (Ont.) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, University ...of Toronto. She is an Affiliate Scientist at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and a member of their AI and Robotics in Rehabilitation team. Dr. Wang’s research focuses on developing and implementing technology to enable daily activity participation and social inclusion of seniors. She is leading research in robotics for post-stroke rehabilitation and on the use of information and communication technologies by seniors with cognitive impairments. As an AGE-WELL investigator she leads a national project on enhancing equitable access to assistive technologies.
