Cognition at a Distance: Testing Cognition Remotely

We want to test adults with sickle cell disease, using both the conventional in-person Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and, within 2-4 months, the abbreviated 'MOCA-blind', which can be given remotely. In this way we can begin to evaluate whether these tests are sensitive to similar degrees of impairment when given remotely compared with in-person in people with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Epidermal Sensors for Wireless and Enhanced Amputee Skin Tracking (E-SWEAT)

The project is developed to understand the clinical impact of a novel wearable sensor on pressure ulcer monitoring among lower limb amputation. This project includes three major testing procedures: 1) using able-body participants to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sensing system 2) using transtibial amputees without pressure ulcers to evaluate the performance of the sensing system in the challenging environment inside the socket 3) using transtibial amputees with diagnosed pressure ulcer to step up a clinical standard to use this sensing system.
