Innovations in Aging Research Webinar Series

The Innovations in Aging Research (IAR) Webinar Series aims to improve the quality of life of older adults by delivering timely resources, innovative topics and the latest research to professionals, caregivers, and older individuals. The series will provide information about wellness, successful aging, caregiving, trends in gerontology and geriatric rehabilitation medicine to provide quality caring practices for our aging population.

UPCOMING WEBINAR

Leveraging Large Data and Wearables in Clinical Research and Rehab

Date: 19 March 2024

Time: 4:00 PM ET

Presenter:

Hiral Master, PT, PhD, MPH
Research Data Innovation Lead
Vanderbilt University Medical Center

This webinar will provide an opportunity to stay current in the ever-evolving field of healthcare technology. With its focus on wearables and big data, one will gain insights into how these technologies are transforming our understanding of health outcomes after spine surgery. The webinar’s emphasis on leveraging wearables for designing interventions and utilizing longitudinal data for clinical research is particularly relevant. It may spark ideas for innovative projects or applications in healthcare – a field where cutting-edge solutions are highly valued. Further, it can provide opportunities to connect with other professionals where one can exchange ideas, share experiences, and potentially collaborate on future research projects.

Duration

60 minutes (1 hour)

Learning Objectives

1. Understand the use of wearables and big data to understand health outcomes after spine surgery
2. Leveraging wearables to design interventions to promote physical activity
3. Understanding how to leverage longitudinal data from wearables to answer clinical research question

PAST WEBINARS

• From Claims to Community: Investigating Inequities in Rehabilitation Utilization and Outcomes Among Older Adults Living with a New Disability
  With Jennifer Brach, PhD, PT, FAPTA and Jason Falvey, PhD, DPT, PT
  This webinar will offer some insight to address these matters and help clinician-researchers have a better view of the issues and learn some tricks on the trade.
• Exergaming for Older Adults with Osteoarthritis: From Gaming to Training
  With Donald G. Manlapaz, PhD, PTRP
  This webinar is very timely as exercise gaming is a rising trend in geriatric rehabilitation. It will be influential to the research works that are focusing on innovative rehabilitation techniques to improve quality of patient care among older adults with osteoarthritis.
• Psychosocial Determinants of Cognitive Health: Implications for Community-Based Non-Pharmacological Interventions
  With Daniel R. Y. Gan, PhD
  As many as 81% of all North Americans with dementia are aging in the community. Neurobiological processes of dementia are known to start decades before diagnosis. Given that 40% of its risk factors are modifiable, prevention in the community becomes crucial. But community contexts are diverse. This webinar summarizes, step-by-step, how psychosocial variables in the community could be addressed. Using the example of two theory-based constructs, i.e., cohesion and playfulness, I demonstrate the importance of including community as a unit of analysis to facilitate comparative case studies across intervention contexts and cross-level analysis. Potential outcomes include more robust trial design and greater community impact, using hybrid approaches of RCTs and implementation science.
• EEG-tracked Gait Provides an Unprecedented Window in the Neurophysiology of Cognitive and Motor Aging
  With guest speaker, Pierfilippo De Sanctis, MS, PhD
  This webinar is a great opportunity to learn about EEG-based Mobile Brain/Body Imaging, which is a useful clinical research tool for cognition, fall risk and mobility. It will be influential to research works that are focusing on measurements for cognition, mobility, and risks of falls.
• Physical and Mental Wellness With Immersive Virtual Reality for the Aging Population
  With guest speaker, Veena Somareddy, BS,MA, CEO
  Covid-19 has impacted mental well-being and decreased physical activity, and heightened the feeling of isolation, especially for our seniors. This webinar will provide an overview of innovations in emerging technologies like virtual reality and AI that provide fun, engaging solutions and ways to motivate seniors to participate in physical and cognitive activities to improve cardiovascular efficiency and mental health.
• Opportunities for Rehabilitation Researchers through PCORI 
  With guest speaker, Meghan Warren, PT, MPH, PhD
  Researchers interested in learning more about PCORI and the application process would benefit from this webinar. In addition to some process differences compared with NIH, PCORI also has a focus on comparative effectiveness research of interventions with known efficacy. Learning more about PCORI can help potential applicants be more competitive with funding. Additionally, Dr. Warren will briefly discuss other ways people can become involved with PCORI (e.g., Advisory Panels).
• Exercise is Medicine for the Aging Brain (This webinar was not recorded.)
  With guest speaker, Patricia Heyn, PhD, FGSA, FACRM
• Physical Activity Challenges & Solutions During the COVID-19 Pandemic
  With guest speaker, Cindy Lin, MD, FACSM
