The aims of this study are to assess the acceptability of a mindfulness-based physical activity intervention with postmenopausal women, and to determine whether a mindfulness-based physical activity intervention can elicit clinically meaningful increases in postmenopausal women’s daily physical activity.

The objective of this study is to test the acceptability and feasibility of combining a commercially available smartwatch, which tracks critical biometric data for the prediction of disease progression in individuals with cancer, with human feedback based on smartwatch activity data tailored to meet each patient’s needs.

The purpose of this study is to develop and test an AI-based fall prediction model using Apple Health and electronic health record data. 

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if a 3-week interdisciplinary chronic pain self-management program is effective in improving 1) patient-reported measures of pain, function, quality of life mood and sleep; 2) physical capacity; 3) performance as measured by change in activity counts; and 4) sleep efficiency as measured by actigraphy.  Activity and patient reported outcomes as well as measures of performance will all be collected in patients before during and after participation in the 3-week interdisciplinray pain program and subsequently analyzed to determine how much each of these improve over the course of treatment and beyond.

This study is intended to develop and validate a novel wearable dynamic loading assessment tool and to demonstrate the association between the measures from this tool and hip BMD.

The purpose of this study is to gather information on how a mobile pressure mapping system, when used at home on a daily basis, affects behaviors known to reduce risk of pressure ulcer development.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if a 3-week interdisciplinary chronic pain self-management program is effective in improving 1) patient-reported measures of pain, function, quality of life mood and sleep; 2) physical capacity; 3) performance as measured by change in activity counts; and 4) sleep efficiency as measured by actigraphy.  Activity and patient reported outcomes as well as measures of performance will all be collected in patients before during and after participation in the 3-week interdisciplinray pain program and subsequently analyzed to determine how much each of these improve over the course of treatment and beyond.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a history of premenopausal bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO, removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes) is associated with decreased performance on objective measures of physical activity.
