Pharmacy based diabetic eye screening

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in working age Americans. Vision loss due to DR can be prevented with early detection and treatment. However, the rate of retinopathy screening remains low. Pharmacies are often a patient's primary point of contact with the health profession. Hence, this study aims to determine the feasibility of integrating a portable handheld camera for eye screening without the need for pupil dilation at pharmacies located in rural and urban areas of North Carolina. The average consumer visits a pharmacy 35 times per year, making pharmacies an ideal setting for evaluating this DR screening model. Additionally, we will also assess the feasibility of integrating an automated grading system for retinal images. If successful, results from this study can be used to increase and improve community-based health care by integrating pharmacies and clinical care.

Nasal Nitric Oxide and Nasal Rinses Study

The purpose of this study is to learn how common over-the-counter nasal rinse products change the level of nitric oxide inside the nose. Nitric oxide is a natural gas our bodies make, and it may tell us useful information about how the nose works. By measuring nitric oxide before and after using these products, we hope to better understand how they affect the nose.

Antidepressant mobile app usability study

The purpose of this study is to test how easy it is for people to use a mobile app we created. The app shows fake health data from smartwatches/fitness trackers (like Fitbit) to help doctors and patients track how well antidepressant medications are working. We want to see if people can easily understand and use the app before we test it in future medical research settings.

Metastatic breast cancer biomarker study

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how metastatic breast cancer changes over time and how those changes may affect which treatments work best. By studying tumor tissue and blood samples, researchers hope to identify specific features, called biomarkers, that can help match each person to the treatment that's most likely to help them. This information may also help doctors better understand why some cancers respond to treatment and others do not, so that future patients can receive more personalized care.
