Develops and maintains technical infrastructure, supports interoperability and deployment, and leads the dissemination of OMNI ADRD resources through public-facing platforms and partnerships.
Core Lead:
Laura Germine, Ph.D.
Purpose
Design and implement the technology infrastructure for the OMNI ADRD Open Measures Platform, ensuring accessibility for participants and investigators, interoperability across tools, and scalability across populations.
Outputs
Development of the OMNI ADRD Open Measures Platform, including infrastructure for secure data capture and storage, integration with existing research systems, and frameworks to support scalable, user-friendly deployment of digital measures.
Why this matters
A robust, interoperable platform turns measurement innovation into real-world impact by making tools usable, accessible, and scalable across diverse populations and settings.

Purpose
Ensure that cognitive measures and the OMNI ADRD Open Measures Platform are accessible, intuitive, and user-friendly for diverse participant and investigator populations.
Outputs
Evidence-based usability findings from diverse participant and investigator groups, and a comprehensive UI/UX standards framework to guide development of accessible, user-centered cognitive measures.
Why this matters
Usability is critical to data quality and participant engagement. Clear, accessible design ensures that measures are understood and usable across languages and populations, enabling more reliable and inclusive measurement.

Purpose
Identifies barriers faced by early-career investigators in adopting digital and high-frequency assessment methods.
Outputs
Recommendations for training, tools, and support structures to build capacity in this area.
Why this matters
Sustained progress depends on the next generation of investigators. Lowering barriers to entry accelerates innovation and adoption.

Purpose
Identifies practical barriers to integrating digital cognitive measures into clinical trials.
Outputs
Guidance on regulatory, logistical, financial, and workflow considerations for trial implementation.
Why this matters
Many promising tools fail at the point of implementation. This work focuses on what it actually takes to deploy measures in real-world trials.

Purpose
Identifies scientific and technical challenges in using high-frequency assessment designs such as EMA and burst sampling.
Outputs
Recommendations for study design, implementation, and data interpretation based on expert experience.
Why this matters
High-frequency data offer new insights into cognitive change, but they introduce new complexities. This work helps define best practices for using these approaches effectively.

Purpose
Develops plans for licensing, governance, and long-term sustainability of OMNI ADRD tools and infrastructure.
Outputs
Frameworks for responsible data use, platform governance, and long-term maintenance.
Why this matters
Infrastructure only matters if it lasts. This work ensures that OMNI ADRD resources remain accessible, usable, and sustainable beyond the initial funding period.
