m.Care is the platform of choice for many research studies and grant funded projects.  Current and past studies include:

Prostate Cancer Research Study – this project is designed to study the effect of weight loss and maintenance prior to and after prostatectomy. Powered by m.Care and using various iDevices and Garmin devices, the objective is to develop a novel weight loss intervention program, tailored specifically for men, to prevent weight gain after prostatectomy in order to minimize adverse effects experienced during cancer survivorship. Also, to explore whether outcomes of diet quality, nutrition literacy, and weight loss/maintenance correlate to markers of cardiac and prostate cancer risk.

Radical Cystectomy Research Project – the objective of this project is to determine the feasibility of using the m.Care platform to identify malnourished patients prior to surgery, provide preoperative education, and assist with transitional care after surgery to reduce hospital readmissions.

OB Fiber Feasibility Study – The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of using m.Care to watch over and motivate expectant mothers to carefully monitor their daily fiber intake and weekly body weight.  Use of m.Care makes this process easier and the data more accurate.

Heart Failure Center Study – this project was designed to utilize m.Care to assist with management of heart patients in the home environment, decrease re-admittance rates, and raise patients’ awareness and accountability for their behaviors affecting their health.
