Developing and Testing a Social Network Data Capture Tool to Improve Partner Services: a Preliminary Pilot Implementation
Description

This study conducted a preliminary pilot implementation which integrated our existing social network software - Network Canvas - into Chicago Partner Services in order to understand the feasibility and acceptability of this integration, and to gather preliminary evidence of potential efficacy in improving Partner Services metrics. All of this work will be conducted through an Active Implementation Framework in which we utilized a staged- approach and strong engagement with local (e.g., Chicago Department of Public Health and Howard Brown Health) and national stakeholders to explore, install, and implement a software pilot into Partner Services.

COMPLETED
Accountable Care Organizations/ Public Health Collaborative
Description

This study focuses on implementing and evaluating an evidence-based collaborative method of increasing immunization rates among preschool children, adolescents and adults within an Accountable Care Organization-Public Health collaborative. The infrastructure we will create through this project will serve as the framework for future collaborative delivery of other preventive services.

COMPLETED
Asthma Data Innovation Demonstration Project
Description

Propeller Health is collaborating with the City of Louisville and other local partners to carry out a focused demonstration project that will evaluate the effectiveness of the Propeller Health approach to asthma management while exploring means to use real-time data on asthma exacerbations in a public health setting. The Asthma Data Innovation Demonstration Project (ADID) will use wireless sensor technology to develop spatial and temporal data on the use of rescue inhalers by 120 study subjects with asthma in the Louisville metropolitan area. Propeller Health will process these data to support two general strategies. Asthma self management: Rescue inhaler actuation data will be compiled into individualized feedback reports to support asthma self management. Propeller Health will combine information on individual rescue inhaler actuations with evidence-based asthma management tips into real-time reports that will be provided to subjects. ADID staff will evaluate any resulting improvements in asthma control that may be based on this information. Subjects may share reports with their healthcare providers. Municipal purposes: The second strategy is to provide aggregated and de-identified, spatial and temporal asthma rescue inhaler actuation data to City personnel and authorized public health researchers in Louisville. These data will show the times and locations of the use of rescue inhalers by the 120 study subjects throughout the greater Louisville area. ADID staff will work with City personnel and researchers to investigate how this unprecedented level of detailed information on exacerbations can be used best to increase public awareness of environmental triggers while supporting public health surveillance efforts around respiratory diseases.

COMPLETED
Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability and Immune Responses of Ebola-S and Marburg Vaccines in Healthy Adults
Description

Primary Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of cAd3-EBO-S and cAd3 Marburg vaccines when administered Intramuscular (IM) at a dose of 1 x 10\^11 particle units (PU) to healthy adults. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the antibody response to Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus Ebola-S (cAd3-EBO-S) and Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus (Marburg) (cAd3 Marburg) vaccines as assessed by antigen glycoprotein (GP) specific (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) ELISA * To collect sufficient post-vaccination plasma to support further development of filovirus assays

COMPLETED
Neurophysiology of Weakness and Exercise in Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Description

The purpose of this study is to examine deficits in activation and motor patterns, as well as central drive in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. There are three specific aims: (1) determine the effect of acute pain relief on rotator cuff muscle activation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, (2) determine the effect of exercise on rotator cuff muscle activation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, and (3) compare rotator cuff muscle activation between patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy and healthy controls.
