AI Scale-Up EAIGLE Harnesses the Power of Ontario’s Tech Ecosystem

 

The road to success for Markham-based artificial intelligence (AI) solutions scale-up EAIGLE began in perhaps the least techy place imaginable: public swimming pools. Health and safety protocols dictate that water in city pools must be changed based on how many people swim each day. But according to EAIGLE Co-Founder and CEO Amir Hoss, many litres of water are typically wasted every day, which has a drastic impact on our environment. With his experience working on smart cities, Hoss teamed up with University of Toronto PhD graduate and current EAIGLE Co-founder and CTO Mahdi Marsousi to develop a way to count the number of people who visit the pool using an image processing software powered by deep tech AI.
