Description: This a pilot randomized control trial aims to examine the feasibility of a 12-week technology-enhanced home exercise (TEHE) program and combined technology-enhanced home exercise and Ear Acupressure (TEHE plus) program among cancer survivors and investigate the effect of the TEHE plus program on fatigue, physical activity and serum biomarkers (Heat Shock Protein 90 and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) compared to control (usual care), exercise only, and ear acupressure groups.
Available research opportunities (e.g. PHD research opportunity, postdoctoral research opportunity, work study student opportunity)

Title: Effect of a tailored technology-enhanced home-based exercise program on DNA methylation change among cancer survivors with multiple chronic conditions
Description: This pre-post test pilot study aims to examine the effect of a tailored technology-enhanced home-based exercise (iHBE) program on the epigenetic and identify the relationship among the change of epigenetics (DNAm methylation age) and symptoms (including, fatigue, pain, cognitive decline and resilience).

Description: This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 16-week mHealth facilitated physical activity intervention protocol in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and sleep complaints. We will also test the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention to promote physical activity and sleep outcomes.

- A Personalized Behavioral Intervention to Improve Physical Activity, Sleep and Cognition in Sedentary Older AdultsTitle: A Personalized Behavioral Intervention to Improve Physical Activity, Sleep and Cognition in Sedentary Older Adults
Description: This randomized controlled trial aims to test the effect of a 24-week mHealth facilitated personalized behavioral intervention on physical activity, sleep, and cognition in community-dwelling older adults without cognitive impairment. The intervention includes personalized exercise prescription, training, mHealth strategies, goal-setting, and financial incentives.
