Kyle D Moored, PhD

My research examines physical, cognitive, and social activity as modifiable risk factors for disability and cognitive impairments in later life. I am specifically interested in the psychosocial contributors of activity that could inform targeted intervention design, including how fatigability and the living environment impact out-of-home mobility. My ongoing work also focuses on measurement of these factors and activity using wearable technology (e.g., GPS).
