This research aims to develop and test a voice-activated smart system that will promote self-management and provide coping tools, motivation, and social support to help older adults with multiple chronic conditions.

The research team implemented PatientToc™ - a mobile application for patient-reported outcomes collection originally designed for use in primary care physician practices - in pharmacies to collect information on medication adherence.

This research developed and evaluated ConnectCare, a depression intervention combining patient portal features and the ability to communicate with providers.

Researchers tested the effectiveness of two digital tools—Patient Buddy and EncephalApp—for reducing hospital readmissions in patients with cirrhosis. Early findings highlighted the tools’ potential to identify risks early and enabled timely intervention alongside challenges related to caregiver effort and provider workload.

Using participatory research methods, researchers developed a self-management mobile health application for self-management to help people with HIV manage their health and monitor their medication adherence.

This research assessed the utilization of a “smart” pillbox, a prefilled electronic medication tray that sends electronic alerts and reports to patients, caregivers, and primary care providers for patients discharged from the hospital, finding an increased medication adherence among patients on five or more chronic medications.

This research pilot tested a sickle cell disease mobile application that was found to reduce acute care visits by patients with the condition.

This project tested a reinforcement learning (RL) text messaging system, which tailors and adapts messages to the needs of patients with uncontrolled hypertension to promote medication adherence, and found it to be feasible and adaptive.

This project evaluated the impact of the “Telephone Intervention Problem Solving” (TIPS) intervention on adherence to treatment for schizoaffective disorder.
