A snapshot of active research projects at UVA where the MAP Lab team is providing engineering, infrastructure, or data-collection support.
A mobile intervention pairing mindfulness meditation with personalized, Oura Ring–driven activity goals to reduce injury-related fear and promote physical activity after ACL reconstruction. MAP Lab is building the custom app functionality.
A tailored, app-based cognitive bias modification intervention to reduce anxiety in people with Huntington's and Parkinson's disease. MAP Lab is developing the app and supporting its rollout into a pilot clinical trial.
A capstone-led digital intervention that promotes face-to-face social engagement among adolescents through a “friendship garden” metaphor, where peer connections grow through shared in-person activities. Co-designed with a Youth Advisory Board.
A UVA decision aid for breast cancer surgery (lumpectomy vs. mastectomy, plus reconstruction) that structures shared decision-making through evidence-based comparisons and a values-clarification exercise.
A mobile health study combining smart pill-bottle tracking (Wisepill RT3000), activity data from Fitbit, and in-app education and support to help patients follow chronic medication regimens.
A platform that uses computer vision to turn handwritten and printed anaesthesia paper records into structured, searchable perioperative data — supporting documentation, archiving, and data-driven decisions for anaesthesia teams.
