SPRING 2018 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Michael Dietz, Earth & Environment, CAS Co-Pl: Abraham Matta, Computer Science, CAS The goal of this project is to build a scalable, cloud-based system for submitting, generating, archiving, and disseminating multi-model ecological forecasts. Beyond advancing ecological research and socially-useful forecasts, this system will contribute to the more general development of a […]
SPRING 2018 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Joanna Davidson, Anthropology, CAS Co-Pl: Marie Abe, Ethnomusicology, CFA Despite the importance of what people say and hear towards understanding complex variations in human perception, experience, narratives, and signifying practices, as of today, there is not a publicly available digital tool to explore and visualize auditory patterns across space […]
SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Deepak Kumar, Physical Therapy & Athletic Training, SAR Co-Pls: Belinda Borrelli, School of Dental Medicine, SDM; Tuhina Neogi, Medicine, MED The project aims to develop an mHealth intervention to increase physical activity (PA) levels in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) that is responsive to the severity and prevalence of […]
SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Michael Otto, Psychological & Brain Sciences, CAS The project aims to communicate research results in a new format that allows for better interpretation by clinicians. The project will display qualitative and quantitative information on the efficacy of interventions using a topographical map approach. The topographical map approach is intended […]
SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Honghuang Lin, Medicine, MED Co-Pls: Rhoda Au, Neurology, MED The project aims to explore novel digital devices to monitor cognitive function as part of e-Cognitive Health Initiative (e-CHI), which is built around the lessons learned from the Framingham Cognitive Aging program, the most comprehensive cognitive aging database in the […]
SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Ioannis Paschalidis, Electrical & Computer Engineering, ENG Co-Pls: George Kasotakis, Surgery, MED This project aims to develop predictive analytics to predict re-admissions within 30-days from discharge after surgery. Researchers will begin with a dataset of 5,769 BMC patients and then expand the project’s scope to 2,275,452 patients in order […]
SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Anna Hohler, Neurology, MED Co-Pls: Monica Parker-James, Medicine, MED This project is developing a mobile gaming application for those exposed to head trauma. The app would engage users in a fun way while it conducted a preliminary assessment of the head trauma and then used that data to make […]
SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Pl: Abby Rudolph, Epidemiology, SPH The project aims to develop a prototype for an overdose prevention mobile app. The team will work to expand access to overdose prevention trainings, since most overdose prevention programs train persons who use drugs (PWUD) in-person. The project will increase access to refresher trainings, as […]
