Improving Adherence to Exercise Guidelines Using Smartphone-Based Technology and E-coaching: A Proof-of-Concept SMART-Design Study
In this Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) Site Specific Project, our research team will conduct a proof-of-concept project in which we use Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design to test an intervention to enhance adherence to exercise guidelines in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) by using smartphone technology, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) monitoring, and e-coaching.

Dr. Colin Franz Featured in Article on the Promise of Degradable Medical Implants
A recent article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) highlighted the potentially groundbreaking benefits of electronic medical implants that break down in the body instead of having to be surgically removed. The materials have been tested in animals and soon could be tested in human clinical trials.
