AUTOMATED HEALTH ASSESSMENT THROUGH MOBILE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING OF DAILY ACTIVITIES - PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT THE WORLD'S POPULATION IS AGING AND THE INCREASING NUMBER OF OLDER ADULTS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (ADRDS) IS A CHALLENGE OUR SOCIETY MUST ADDRESS. WHILE THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE AVAILABILITY AND QUALITY OF SERVICES SEEMS UNCERTAIN, AT THE SAME TIME ADVANCES IN PERVASIVE COMPUTING AND INTELLIGENT EMBEDDED SYSTEMS PROVIDE INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES TO MEET THESE NEEDS. TWO PARTICULAR NEEDS WHICH TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP ADDRESS IS EARLY DETECTION OF COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL DECLINE, AND TRACKING INTEGRATION OF NEW, HEALTHY BRAIN BEHAVIORS INTO EVERYDAY LIFE. THE LONG-TERM GOAL FOR ADAPTELLIGENCE LLC IS TO COMMERCIALIZE A SMARTWATCH APP, CALLED ACTELLIGENCE, TO ASSESS A PERSON'S COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL HEALTH AND TO PROMOTE HEALTHY BRAIN BEHAVIOR. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS APPLICATION IS TO PERFORM RESEARCH A DEVELOPMENT TO REFINE AND COMMERCIALIZE A SMARTWATCH APP THAT OFFERS CAPABILITIES TO DETECT ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING FROM SMARTWATCH SENSORS, EXTRACT DIGITAL BEHAVIOR MARKERS FROM ACTIVITY-LABELED SENSOR DATA, PREDICT CLINICAL HEALTH MEASURES FROM BEHAVIOR MARKERS, AND PROVIDE USER FEEDBACK IN THE FORM OF HEALTH STATUS AND HEALTHY-BEHAVIOR PROMPTS. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS UNIQUE BECAUSE WE CONSIDER A PERSON'S ENTIRE BEHAVIOR PROFILE AND INTRODUCE MACHINE LEARNING METHODS TO ROBUSTLY PREDICT CLINICAL MEASURES FROM THIS INFORMATION. WE UTILIZE A POPULAR SMARTWATCH PLATFORM TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY AND BALANCE CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO EXTEND AND IMPROVE HEALTH. BUILDING ON OUR SUCCESSFUL PHASE I EFFORT, OUR APPROACH IS TO EXTRACT ACTIVITY-AWARE DIGITAL BEHAVIOR MARKERS FROM SMARTWATCH SENSOR DATA (AIM 1), AUTOMATE HEALTH ASSESSMENT BASED ON THESE MARKERS (AIM 2), AND PERFORM PARTICIPATORY DESIGN OF A WEB DASHBOARD THAT PROVIDES VISUAL ANALYTICS AND ALERTS FOR BRAIN HEALTH (AIM 3). WE WILL VALIDATE THE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES FOR A SAMPLE OF 100 OLDER ADULTS AND WILL REFINE THE INTERACTIVE ANALYTICS THROUGH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF PARTICIPATORY DESIGN WITH 18 PARTICIPANTS. THE APP WILL BE BROUGHT TO MARKET THROUGH A THOROUGH MARKET ANALYSIS AND A STRATEGICALLY-DESIGNED COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN. THE PROPOSED CONTRIBUTIONS ARE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THEY WILL PROVIDE INSIGHTS ON COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL HEALTH REVEALED WITHIN A PERSON'S EVERYDAY ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTE EARLY DETECTION OF COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL DECLINE THAT CAN LEAD TO MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. THIS WORK IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE INCREASING NUMBER OF OLDER INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING COGNITIVE AND FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS DUE TO CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS. FURTHERMORE, THE WORK ADDRESSES THE NEED FOR INDIVIDUALS TO REMAIN FUNCTIONALLY INDEPENDENT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE IN THEIR OWN HOMES, THEREBY IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AND REDUCING HEALTH CARE COSTS.

INTEGRATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF CURRENT MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND PRIMARY CARE TREATMENT UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF A CCBHC. - THE ADAPT CCBHC PROJECT WILL INCREASE INTEGRATION OF CURRENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE SERVICES IN DOUGLAS COUNTY AND EXPAND THESE SERVICES TO BETTER SERVE THE TARGET POPULATIONS. ACTIVITIES FOR THE FUNDING INCLUDE MOVING FROM THREE EHRS TO ONE FOR THE ENTIRE AGENCY, DEVELOPING A SINGLE INTAKE PROCESS, PROVIDING OPEN RATHER THAN SCHEDULED ACCESS TO CARE, AND ADDRESSING WORKFORCE ISSUES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO STAFF AND CONSUMER TURNOVER. TARGET POPULATIONS INCLUDE CONSUMERS WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS, A SEVERE SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, AND YOUTH WITH SEVERE EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE. OTHER POPULATIONS WHO WILL BENEFIT ARE THOSE EXPERIENCING DISENFRANCHISEMENT, SUCH AS MINORITIES, HOMELESS, AND FORMER MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE INELIGIBLE FOR OR OTHERWISE DISENCHANTED WITH VA SERVICES. BECAUSE THESE POPULATIONS CAN BE HIGH-NEEDS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, IMPACTS ON QUALITY OF CARE WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT OTHER COMMUNITY SYSTEMS, SUCH AS HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, JAIL, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM INCLUDE: 1) IMPLEMENTATION OF A SINGLE EHR TO REPLACE THREE EHRS CURRENTLY IN USE. THIS WILL ALLOW THE COORDINATION OF CARE BETWEEN PROVIDERS OF THE MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES CURRENTLY OFFERED IN THE AGENCY. 2) REACHING CONSUMERS WHEN AND WHERE THEY ARE READY FOR SERVICES BY DECREASING THE TIME BETWEEN INITIAL CONTACT AND SERVICE DELIVERY FROM DAYS TO HOURS. CURRENT TIME BETWEEN FIRST CONTACT AND ASSESSMENT IS ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOR STANDARD BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. TESTS OF OPEN ACCESS HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS TIME CAN BE REDUCED TO THE SAME DAY BY ADJUSTING THE PROCESS FOR INTAKE AND A 5% INCREASE IN STAFFING. IMPLEMENTING THIS ACROSS ALL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES WOULD PROVIDE AN INCREASE IN ACCESS TO SERVICES. 3) SERVING AN ADDITIONAL 490 CONSUMERS EACH YEAR OF THE GRANT, A 20% INCREASE OVER THE 2,450 ALREADY SERVED. 4) REDUCING STAFF TURNOVER BY 30%. THIS IS ACHIEVED BY DECREASING CASELOADS, THE MAIN FACTOR THAT CONTRIBUTES TO BURNOUT AND STAFF TURNOVER. TURNOVER MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EXPAND SERVICES SINCE WE RECRUIT TO FILL VACANT POSITIONS RATHER THAN EXPANDED POSITIONS. A SALARY ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE IF THERE ARE POSITIONS THAT ARE NOT PAID IN LINE WITH OTHER PROVIDERS IN THE REGION. 5) KEEPING CONSUMERS ENGAGED IN CARE, AS MEASURED BY THE 90-DAY AND 180-DAY RETENTION MEASURES, WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE BY 10% OVER THE TWO-YEAR PROJECT. THE PROJECT WILL MINIMIZE INTAKE PROCESSES AND THE TIME BETWEEN WHEN SERVICES ARE SOUGHT BY CONSUMERS AND WHEN THEY ARE RECEIVED. OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE SERVICES WHEN AND WHERE A CONSUMER NEEDS THEM, THAT THEY DO NOT EXPERIENCE A WRONG DOOR OR DEAD END, AND WE HAVE STAFF WHO ARE ABLE TO DO THE FULFILLING WORK THEY TRAINED TO DO.

NOVEL MULTI-SENSING SEAT COVER SYSTEM FOR PREVENTION OF SITTING-RELATED PRESSURE INJURIES IN INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE OR RELATED DEMENTIAS - ABSTRACT THE LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CREATE A SENSOR-BASED MONITORING TECHNOLOGY FOR USE BY CAREGIVERS, CLINICIANS, AND INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE OR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE RELATED DEMENTIA (AD/ADRD) TO MITIGATE THE RISK OF PRESSURE INJURIES RELATED TO PROLONGED SITTING. PRESSURE INJURY PREVALENCE IS DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH IN THE AGING AD/ADRD POPULATION DUE TO PHYSIOLOGICAL, COGNITIVE, AND MOBILITY CHANGES THAT LEAD TO INCREASED SITTING TIME AND REDUCED AWARENESS OF RISK FACTORS. IMPACT ON THE AD/ADRD POPULATION IS DEVASTATING BECAUSE IT LEADS TO PAIN THAT OFTEN IS UNTREATED, HOSPITAL STAYS WHICH FURTHER REDUCE FUNCTION, INCREASE LIKELIHOOD OF NEEDING ADDITIONAL CARE SUPPORT, AND EARLIER DEATH THAN THOSE WHO DO NOT EXPERIENCE A PRESSURE INJURY. THIS PROJECT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS OF PRESSURE, SHEAR, MOVEMENT, AND MICROCLIMATE AT THE SITTING SURFACE BY PROVIDING FEEDBACK TO THE CAREGIVER IN REAL-TIME FROM A MULTI-SENSING SYSTEM EMBEDDED IN A SEAT COVER. THESE FACTORS CAN’T BE READILY “SEEN” BY THE CAREGIVER AND APATHY MAY PREVENT SOMEONE WITH AD/ADRD FROM SEEKING ASSISTANCE TO MITIGATE A PROBLEM, THE FEEDBACK WILL INCREASE CAREGIVER AWARENESS SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE ACTION BEFORE PRESSURE INJURIES APPEAR. WHILE SENSORS EXIST TO DETECT MOISTURE OR FALL RISK, NONE CONTINUOUSLY DETECT AND DISPLAY MEANINGFUL DATA TO THE CAREGIVER ABOUT PRESSURE, SHEAR, MOVEMENT OR MICROCLIMATE FACTORS DIRECTLY BETWEEN THE PERSON AND THEIR SITTING SURFACE. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ENGAGE WITH CAREGIVERS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH AD/ADRD AND STAKEHOLDERS WHO ARE EXPERTS IN SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, PRESSURE INJURY PREVENTION, AND MEDICAL DEVICE INNOVATION TO DESIGN AN ACCEPTABLE, USABLE, AND FEASIBLE MULTI-SENSING SEAT COVER AND ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE INTEGRATION. THE RESEARCH DESIGN USES MIXED METHODS AND INCLUDES THE USE OF A SURVEY, A SERIES OF FOCUS GROUPS WITH CAREGIVERS WHO HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH PRESSURE INJURIES IN THE AD/ADRD POPULATION, AND USABILITY ASSESSMENTS. AN EXPERT STAKEHOLDER DESIGN REVIEW TEAM WILL MEET THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT TO REVIEW USER REQUIREMENTS FROM CAREGIVERS AND BUILD A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MULTI-SENSOR TECHNOLOGY WILL OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT WITH CONSIDERATION OF CAREGIVER AND STAKEHOLDER REQUIREMENT FEEDBACK. THE RESULTING PROOF-OF-CONCEPT MULTI-SENSING SEAT COVER AND UPDATED USER-FACING SOFTWARE WILL UNDERGO INITIAL PERFORMANCE TESTING FOR ACCURACY, DURABILITY, AND VALIDITY. THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT BY PROVIDING DAY-LONG MEANINGFUL DETAIL ABOUT THE CONDITIONS DIRECTLY BETWEEN A PERSON WITH AD/ADRD AND THEIR SITTING SURFACE, CAREGIVERS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION THAT CURRENTLY DOES NOT EXIST, AND THEY CAN THEN TAKE APPROPRIATE THERAPEUTIC ACTION TO MITIGATE RISKS. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE PRESSURE INJURY PREVALENCE THERAPEUTICALLY THROUGH AWARENESS, EARLY DETECTION, AND RISK MITIGATION.

MODIFYING AND VALIDATING THE K-CAT MENTAL HEALTH SCALES FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM - PROJECT ABSTRACT MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS ARE HIGHLY PREVALENT IN THE AUTISM POPULATION BUT, DUE IN PART TO THE COMPLEXITY OF ASSESSMENT, OFTEN GO UNDETECTED AND THEREFORE UNADDRESSED. AVAILABLE TOOLS ARE INSUFFICIENT, AS MANY WERE DEVELOPED FOR USE WITH THE GENERAL POPULATION, DO NOT INCLUDE BOTH YOUTH AND CAREGIVER REPORT VERSIONS, OR ARE LIMITED TO THE ASSESSMENT OF A SINGLE CONSTRUCT. GIVEN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE ASSESSMENT MEASURE, EVALUATING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS IN AUTISM IS TIME-INTENSIVE AND OFTEN REQUIRES A HIGH LEVEL OF TRAINING AND EXPERTISE. THE PROPOSED STUDY AIMS TO REMEDY THIS DEFICIENCY BY: (1) EVALUATING THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE K-CAT® WITH YOUTH ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM; AND (2) IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING AREAS IN NEED OF MODIFICATION TO DEVELOP A RELIABLE, VALID, AND ACCEPTABLE K-CAT® AUTISM VERSION. THE PROPOSED STUDY CONSISTS OF TWO PHASES. IN THE FIRST PHASE, WE WILL EXAMINE THE DIFFERENTIAL ITEM FUNCTIONING, CONVERGENT VALIDITY, AND ACCEPTABILITY OF THE EXISTING K-CAT® FOR USE WITH AUTISTIC CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. IN THE SECOND PHASE, WE WILL MODIFY THE EXISTING K-CAT® TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE THE K-CAT® AUTISM VERSION. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, IN PHASE I, WE WILL RECRUIT 150 YOUTH/CAREGIVER DYADS TO COMPLETE THE EXISTING K-CAT® AS WELL AS THREE ADDITIONAL MEASURES FOR PSYCHOMETRIC EVALUATION. WE WILL USE MIXED METHODS TO EXAMINE ACCEPTABILITY AND IDENTIFY AREAS IN NEED OF MODIFICATION WITH A SUBSAMPLE OF YOUTH, CAREGIVERS, AND AUTISM CLINICIANS. IN PHASE II, WE WILL MODIFY THE K-CAT® WITH INPUT FROM YOUTH, CAREGIVERS, AND CLINICIANS AND RECRUIT 350 YOUTH/CAREGIVER DYADS FROM CLINICAL SITES ACROSS THE US (SEE LETTERS CONFIRMING PARTICIPATION) TO COMPLETE THE K-CAT® AUTISM VERSION AND AN ACCOMPANYING ASSESSMENT BATTERY FOR VALIDATION. ELIGIBLE YOUTH MUST BE 7-17 YEARS OLD, ENGLISH SPEAKING, HAVE A DOCUMENTED DIAGNOSIS OF AUTISM AND AN IQ OVER 70. THE ASSESSMENT BATTERY WILL INCLUDE THE PARENT AND CHILD K-CAT® AUTISM VERSION AND THE PARENT AND CHILD KSADS-COMP AS WELL AS SEVERAL ADDITIONAL MEASURES INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSES OF THE EXISTING K-CAT®. RESULTS OF THE VALIDATION ASSESSMENT BATTERY WILL BE REVIEWED, AND DIAGNOSES CONFIRMED BY LICENSED CLINICIANS WITH EXPERTISE IN AUTISM BLIND TO K-CAT® AUTISM VERSION SCORES. THESE ASSESSMENTS WILL BE USED TO EXAMINE THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE K-CAT® AUTISM VERSION IN EVALUATING UNDERLYING CO-OCCURRING DIAGNOSES ASSESSED (I.E., MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER, GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER, ATTENTION-DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER, OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER, CONDUCT DISORDER, BIPOLAR DISORDER, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER). THE NEWLY DEVELOPED, RELIABLE, VALID, FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE K-CAT® AUTISM VERSION WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE IDENTIFICATION OF MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS IN AUTISTIC YOUTH, FACILITATING EARLIER RECEIPT OF EVIDENCE-BASED SERVICES AND POTENTIALLY PREVENTING THE ADVERSE OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH UNTREATED MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS IN THIS POPULATION.

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A COMPUTERIZED ADAPTIVE TEST OF FATIGABILITY - PROJECT ABSTRACT FATIGUE IS A COMMON DEBILITATING SYMPTOM THAT INHIBITS ACTIVITY AND FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY IN HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS. WHILE CLINICIANS CONSIDER TREATING FATIGUE TO MITIGATE ITS ADVERSE EFFECTS, THERE ARE NO DATA TO GUIDE THEM ON THE COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT INTERVENTIONS. THIS IS IN PART BECAUSE FATIGUE IS A SUBJECTIVE SELF-REPORTED SYMPTOM THAT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR PATIENT’S ACTIVITY LEVEL. THIS IS A CRITICAL LIMITATION SINCE FATIGUE AND ACTIVITY INFLUENCE EACH OTHER, AND INTERVENTIONS THAT REDUCE FATIGUE MAY INCREASE ACTIVITY, WHICH IN TURN MAY OFFSET INITIAL REDUCTIONS IN FATIGUE. AS A RESULT, TRIALS MEASURING FATIGUE ONLY WILL MISS IMPORTANT CHANGES IN PATIENT ACTIVITY, AND INCOMPLETELY ESTIMATE THE EFFECT OF THE INTERVENTION. A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO MEASURE PATIENT’S FATIGUE IN THE CONTEXT OF ACTIVITY, A MEASURE KNOWN AS FATIGABILITY. FATIGABILITY DESCRIBES THE LEVEL OF FATIGUE A PATIENT EXPERIENCES AT ANY GIVEN ACTIVITY LEVEL, AND MEASURING FATIGABILITY IN HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS WOULD BE USEFUL FOR: 1) IDENTIFYING PATIENTS AT HIGH RISK FOR FUNCTIONAL DECLINE BECAUSE THEIR FATIGUE IS INHIBITING ACTIVITY, 2) ESTIMATING THE EFFECT OF INTERVENTIONS ON CHANGES IN FATIGUE AND/OR ACTIVITY, AND 3) MONITORING LONGITUDINAL CHANGES IN FATIGUE AND/OR ACTIVITY DURING HOSPITALIZATION AND AFTER DISCHARGE. HOWEVER, CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FATIGABILITY MEASURES ARE COSTLY AND DIFFICULT TO OPERATIONALIZE IN THE INPATIENT SETTING (TREADMILL TESTING, 6-MINUTE WALK), OR HAVE BEEN POORLY VALIDATED USING RUDIMENTARY STATISTICAL METHODS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL ADDRESS THESE LIMITATIONS BY BUILDING AND VALIDATING THE COMPUTERIZED ADAPTIVE TEST-FATIGABILITY (CAT-F), USING MULTIDIMENSIONAL ITEM RESPONSE THEORY (MIRT) TO IMPROVE THE PRECISION, ACCURACY, AND RAPIDITY BY WHICH CLINICIANS AND SCIENTISTS CAN MEASURE FATIGABILITY IN HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS. AIM 1 WILL APPLY MIRT TO PREVIOUSLY COLLECTED SELF-REPORTED FATIGABILITY, FATIGUE, AND ACTIVITY DATA FROM HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS TO DEVELOP AN ADAPTIVE FATIGABILITY TEST THAT HAS INCREASED PRECISION WHILE USING FEWER ITEMS COMPARED TO CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FATIGABILITY MEASUREMENT METHODS. AIM 2 WILL VALIDATE THE CAT-F AGAINST THE CURRENT GOLD STANDARD MEASURES OF FATIGABILITY IN A SUBSET OF 75 HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS. FUTURE PHASE 2 WORK WILL INTEGRATE THE VALIDATED CAT-F INTO THE EHR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MEDICAL CENTER, PILOT THE CAT-F IN A SAMPLE OF CLINICIANS AND PATIENTS THAT ARE PART OF AN ONGOING STUDY OF HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS, AND REFINE THE CAT-F BASED ON USER FEED-BACK AND ADDITIONAL DATA COLLECTED. INNOVATION AND IMPACT: THE CAT-F WILL INTEGRATE DATA FROM MULTIPLE DOMAINS (FATIGUE AND ACTIVITY) TO MEASURE A COMMON LATENT VARIABLE (FATIGABILITY) THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT DOWNSTREAM CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES IN HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS. THE CAT-F WILL DIRECTLY IMPROVE CLINICAL CARE BY PROVIDING CLINICALLY RELEVANT INFORMATION AT THE POINT OF CARE THROUGH THE EHR FOR CLINICIANS TO ACCESS AND ACT ON, AND WILL INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF CONDUCTING STUDIES AND TRIALS OF INTERVENTIONS AIMED AT REDUCING FATIGUE AND/OR INCREASING ACTIVITY. AS A RESULT, THE CAT-F WILL IMPROVE THE CARE AND OUTCOMES OF HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS, AND ADVANCE THE SCIENCE OF FATIGUE THROUGH EFFICIENT HIGH-QUALITY MEASUREMENT AND DATA GENERATION THAT INFORMS THE OPTIMAL TREATMENT STRATEGIES FOR FATIGUE.

OPERATION RISE AND CONQUER: OUTDOOR ADVENTURE RECREATION FOR VETERANS AND SERVICEMEMBERS WITH DISABILITIES (PROGRAMMING FOR VETERANS)

RISING SEA LEVELS AND INCREASED STORM EVENTS LEAVE MANY AREAS AROUND THE COUNTRY MORE VULNERABLE TO ACCELERATING RATES OF COASTAL EROSION AND LAND LOSS, RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR NATION-WIDE COASTAL RESTORATION INITIATIVES TO PROTECT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. DREDGING AND BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGE MATERIAL IS A MAJOR COMPONENT THAT HELPS MAINTAIN AND PROTECT THE COAST. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NUMEROUS SITES WHERE EXCESS DREDGE FILL (DF) IS PLACED DUE TO LACK OF REAL-TIME DATA ACCOUNTING FOR DF VARIATION. TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT AND ENGINEERING (AME) IS DEVELOPING THE INSTRUMENTED GRADE STAKE (IGS). THE IGS IS A SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA) SYSTEM THAT ADDRESSES (A) THE TYPE AND RATE OF FLOW OF MATERIAL INTO DF SITES IN REAL TIME, AND (B) CALCULATION OF FIELD VALUES AT THE SITE FROM MULTIPLE POINTS OF MEASUREMENT. ACCORDING TO THE WATER INSTITUTE, JUST A 10% REDUCTION IN THE COST OF DREDGING WOULD RESULT IN $2.2 BILLION DOLLARS SAVE
