GAPcare Lab

Our lab focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of older adults who seek emergency care. We have developed and tested fall prevention interventions, examined the feasibility of digital health solutions such as apps, ingestible sensors, and wearables for medication adherence and vaccine uptake, and studied novel ways to improve healthcare delivery through telehealth. Our work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, private payors, foundations, and technology companies.
