    • The Pacific Aging and Cancer Studies (PACS) is focused on learning about changes in patient functioning and quality of life in people undergoing cancer treatment by using unobtrusive, passive measurement technology.
    • Digital Evaluations and Technologies Enabling Clinical Translation for AD Study (DETECT-AD) is to improve early detection and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease using a home-based system that continuously assesses a person's activity and health in their home environment using simple devices (such as watches, electronic pill boxes, and bed mats), as well as blood tests, and brain scans.
    • Ecologically Valid, Ambient, Longitudinal, and Unbiased Assessment of Treatment Efficacy in Parkinson's Disease (EVALUATE-PD) is an industry funded trial looking at the use of the ORCATECH home-based system, cognitive testing, and bloodwork to evaluate early-stage Parkinson's patients and their care partners.
