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 research project is to help develop an algorithm that can distinguish between an exercise performed correctly and incorrectly. This will allow older adults to improve their form and optimize the therapeutic benefit of exercising.
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 want to learn how personality traits and body chemicals affect the way people make decisions. We want to understand the different factors that influence this.
Are you planning on having an IUD placed? If you are already planning to get an IUD, this study gives the chance to receive extra pain medication during insertion. Everyone will receive standard pain medication, and 2/3 of volunteers will receive extra. We are looking to see if giving ketorolac pills 1-hour vs 2-hours before an IUD decreases pain levels. We would need 3 hours of in-person clinic time from volunteers. Compensation provided.

This study is assessing the usefulness of a text message based intervention to reduce excessive alcohol use among young adults ages 18-25. Participants will attend a Baseline Session over Zoom where they will complete a 25-minute survey and learn more about study procedures. Then, participants will receive daily prompts to their personal cellphone Wednesday-Sunday for 4 weeks. After the 4-week trial, participants will attend 1 focus group over Zoom to share their experiences in the study.
