DART Lab | Ongoing Research

Thank you for your interest in our research! Our projects incorporate and align the usage of wearables, ecological momentary assessment and smartphone-based assessments of cognitive markers, and important contextual information related to individualized behavioral, pain, sleep, and substance use patterns in children and adolescents.

The DART Lab is currently conducting a number of studies related to sleep, pain, mental health, and substance use in pediatric patients:

• Actigraphic monitoring and analysis for assessment of sleep quality and activity status during the perioperative period in a population of pediatric cardiac surgical patients
• Monitoring trajectories of post-discharge recovery in surgical patients
• Assessing the relationship between sleep, pain and substance use in adolescents: a survey study
• Acceptability of using smartphone sensing in chronic pain: a web survey of patient and parent perspectives
• Monitoring sleep using two different wearable devices in chronic pain patients
• Genomic Variants related to Chronic Pain and Substance Use
