Minzee Kim and Sidharth (Sid) Bajaj published a study in JMIR Aging presenting personalized predictive models to evaluate how well older adults with diverse abilities can use different medication adherence technologies. Collaborating with Dr. Tejal Patel’s lab, the research applied statistical modeling to health technology design, showing that personalized models—developed and evaluated through rigorous cross-validation—outperformed non-personalized and naïve approaches. The work highlights the effectiveness of personalization and the value of interdisciplinary collaboration in improving medication management for older adults.
