Do you find using the internet and technology confusing?  Is it difficult for you to find the health information that you need online? Do you find it difficult to use technology to seek healthcare?YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH HEALTH TECHNOLOGY MATTERS.  That is why this study is focused on learning how older adults use technology to manage their healthcare and how they feel about it. We want to hear about your experiences and see if using simple stories and everyday examples can help make health technology easier to understand and use.By sharing your thoughts and experiences, you can help us in making health technology easier for everyone. You may qualify to join this study if you are 65 years of age or older and live in the Indianapolis, IN metro area.

The Indiana Biobank is a research study started in 2010 by Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health. The Indiana Biobank is like a giant library—but instead of books, it holds over 60,000 blood and other samples. Each sample is connected to the person’s medical records. The person’s name and personal details are removed before researchers can use the samples. These samples help doctors and scientists discover better ways to treat and prevent diseases!When you donate a small blood sample, you’re helping researchers learn more about how to keep people healthy. Your sample is unique, and it can help make sure future treatments work for everyone.Watch this video to learn more: 

We are looking for people of all ages, regardless of health condition, to take part in a study that is looking for new treatments for bone and muscle disorders.Bone and muscle disorders are the leading cause of disabilty in the United States. Researchers want to find out more about how people are affected by aging, injury, disease and illness. Your participation will help advance the diagnosis and treatment of bone and muscle disorders.

JOIN the study!The purpose of this study is to try out a new way of teaching kids and parents ways to relax and sleep skills to see if it helps youth with sleep and well-being.The study tasks can be completed entirely online (NO in-person visits required).Who can take part?Youth (ages 11-13) who are experiencing mild stress symptoms and a parent.  In order to be eligible, parents/caregivers and children must both participate in the research study.

Health is about more than medicine.  That is why we are doing a study that is looking at how well different surveys measure social needs—things like housing, food, and transportation. These needs aren’t medical, but they play an important role in health, which is why hospitals and doctors are asking patients about them more often.By sharing your thoughts and experiences, you can help improve care for older adults in your community.

We understand that living with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially with the KRAS G12C mutation, can be incredibly challenging.   Many people with lung cancer go through hard treatments and tough side effects. That's why we're inviting adults (ages 18 and older) who have advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC to participate in our study.  The goal is to find out if a investigational combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy can help you live longer without your cancer growing or spreading as compared to traditional chemotherapy treatment.We're also hoping that this study helps us find ways to:Slow down cancer growthUse treatments that target cancer more directlyLearn if fewer or different side effects are possibleImprove quality of lifeParticipating in this study offers you a chance to explore new treatment options while helping researchers learn more about effective therapies for lung cancer. If you want to make a difference for yourself and others, consider joining us.

In this study, we want to learn how people who have had genomic testing understand and use their results. Genomic testing looks at your DNA to check for genetic changes that may affect your health or risk for certain conditions. We want to hear how this information shapes the choices you make and who you decide to share it with, like your doctor or family. Our research team is looking for people who are 18+, live in the US, and have previously used genomic testing services (e.g., 23andMe, Ancestry.com, medical system genetic testing). Participants will engage in a 1 hour focus group session either online or in-person and receive a $20 Amazon gift card as compensation. Location: In-person at Monroe County Library - Downtown Location or IU Bloomington campus, or online on Zoom.
