New Research Partnerships

A recent collaboration was established between CHABLIS Pilot awardee Micah Prochaska and Apple Inc. Apple has funded Dr. Prochaska’s research and provided watches and phones to support the study on fatigability, and this partnership directly supports the P30 supplement. Dr. Prochaska has also been invited into Apple’s developer program as a part of this grant.

In Fall 2021, CHABLIS worked with the Comprehensive Care Program to launch the new Comprehensive Care Grand Rounds webinar series, bringing together researchers from across the country with expertise in comprehensiveness in health care and approaches to caring for the whole person.

The Collaborative for Innovation in Data & Measurement in Aging (CIDMA) which now spans researchers across three institutions – the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, and Duke University – continues to identify, conduct, and assess innovations in data collection and measurement within longitudinal research on aging and is disseminating findings from its first rapid assessment
