This seminar will focus on digital behavioral medicine interventions to promote resilience and self-management among youth with type 2 diabetes, adults with chronic pain and opioid use disorder, and older spousally-bereaved adults. Brief presentations (10-15 minutes each) by Drs. Vajravelu, Edwards, and Stahl will provide an overview of their ongoing NIH-funded research developing and testing novel behavioral interventions. We aim to highlight challenges and opportunities in leveraging digital technology for behavioral medicine research across these diverse populations. Following these presentations, attendees will engage in Q&A facilitated by Dr. Low followed by informal networking and discussion in the Assembly Crane Shed.
