Our research team has created a Bluetooth enabled resistance exercise band (BandPass) and a corresponding workout 'app' to help older adults' strength train at home. The purpose of this project is to test the likelihood that BandPass can be used by older adults, to test whether older adults will keep using the device to exercise during the study, and to test if older adults have improved strength at the end of the study.

Do you want to help in the design of a new device that can electronically measure and track your strength? We are testing a new system that uses an electronic resistance exercise band and an 'app' designed for older adults to improve strength and prevent weakness. We will provide $25 in gift card incentives.

The goal of this interview is to gather a clinician's perspective on the feasibility and potential integration of a new Geriatric Functional Assessment System (GFAS) into their clinical practice. This proposed system is a clinic-based wearable device designed to collect visual and motion data from older adults during their primary care visits that will help assess physical function. Its goal is to collect and process data, apply machine learning, and enable clinicians to identify early signs of functional decline.

In this study, we are looking at patterns in certain blood proteins. We want to understand how a protein supplement called β-hydroxy-methyl-butyrate (HMB) works in older adults who feel tired or have less muscle strength.

Are you interested in losing weight to improve your health? This is an innovative research study that aims to promote weight loss in older adults through either a health coach or a registered dietitian and physical therapist. In those not showing weight loss at 8-weeks, we will try a different strategy to maximize the chance of losing weight. We will provide a gift card incentive for your time.

We are testing out a device that collects physical function data among older adults who have multiple chronic conditions. We want to see if the device works efficiently and is user friendly.

Early detection of memory problems (such as seen in Alzheimer's Disease) in older adults is essential for planning strategies to improve patients' everyday function and quality of life. While patients and family members often talk to clinicians, our proposed research system is meant to capture changes in memory before they are identified by clinicians. You are being asked to be in the study because you are interested in helping us determine whether changes in voice could be related to physical function and memory changes over time.

This study is designed to determine whether our voice-based recall system can recall your food from the past 24 hours in comparison to the ASA-24 web based method.

The risk factors that drive health are unique to various patient populations and different patient populations use different language to communicate their health risk factors. The health risk factors and language that patients use also differs by locations. We are holding focus group sessions with family medicine physicians, senior patients, caregivers of senior patients, patients experiencing homelessness, and patients experiencing food insecurity to gain a deeper understanding of the major health risk factors they face and the words they use to describe them.

This study will try to see what the association is between older adults using a GLP-1 agonist medication and their physical function.
