We are launching a study focused on capturing breathing and cough sounds from residents in assisted living communities to support the development of digital health tools for early detection of respiratory illness. Practicum students will assist with on-site data collection, participant engagement, and protocol implementation, gaining hands-on experience with real-world digital biomarkers and aging-focused research. Interested students should contact Oleg Zaslavsky at ozasl@uw.edu.
