She also currently serves as Director of Neuropsychology at the Framingham Heart Study, where she has been involved in research related to cognitive aging and preclinical\/clinical dementia since 1990. The limits of standard neuropsychological testing led her to apply the Boston Process Approach (BPA) to increase the sensitivity of these tests. The BPA includes tracking error and extraneous responses and FHS is the first to apply this method to epidemiologic research. Most recently, she has integrated digital technology into the cognitive assessment process while preserving the traditional paper-pencil test experience. Using digital voice and digital pen to capture cognitive performance underlies her current work of determining the potential of digital cognitive biomarkers as surrogate indices to more expensive and invasive fluid and imaging biomarkers. She is also interested in how \u201cbig data\u201d analytics can better inform our understanding of disease pathways and treatment. In addition to her work at Framingham, Dr. Au is also currently focused on building multi-sector ecosystems to enable solutions for chronic disease prevention generally and optimizing brain health specifically and to move the primary focus of health technologies from precision medicine to a broader emphasis on precision health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"block-pad\">\n<div class=\"block\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">RESEARCH:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">cognitive aging, epidemiology, digital technology<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">EMAIL:<\/p>\n<p>rhodaau@bu.edu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/anatneuro\/faculty\/\" class=\"btn\" style=\"width: 60vw;\"><br \/>\n  <span class=\"gradient-btn\">Faculty<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<p>article.post-12304 {\n  display: none;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Blocks---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.block {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n    padding: 15px;\n    margin: auto;\n    height: 350px;\n    width: 300px;\n    border-radius: 3px;\n    align-items: center;\n    z-index: 2;\n    box-shadow: -50px 0 100px -50px #808080, 50px 0 100px -50px #808080;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block-pad {\n    margin-top: 20px;\n    margin-bottom: 20px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 760px) {\n\t.block {\n\t\twidth: 300px;\n             height: 350px;\n\t}\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block h1 {\n    padding-bottom: 5px;\n    font-size: 24px;\n    text-align: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Profile---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.side-info {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.universal-pad {\n    margin: 25px;\n    margin-left: 10vw;\n    margin-right: 10vw;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo{\n  display: flex;\n  justify-content: center;\n  align-items: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.content1 {\n  position: relative;\n  animation: animatop 0.9s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.14, 0.47, 1.125) forwards;\n  margin-left: 12vw;\n  margin-top: 10px;\n  margin-bottom: 10px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.card {\n  width: 70vw;\n  min-height: 100px;\n  padding: 20px;\n  border-radius: 3px;\n  background-color: white;\n  box-shadow: 0px 10px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\n  position: relative;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n.card:after {<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo {\n  flex-direction: row;\n  z-index: 2;\n  position: relative;\n}\n.firstinfo img {\n  display: none;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo {\n  padding: 0px 20px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h1 {\n  font-size: 35px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h3 {\n  font-size: 20px;\n  color: #262262;\n  font-style: italic;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo p.bio {\n  padding: 10px 0px;\n  color: #5A5A5A;\n  line-height: 1.2;\n  font-style: initial;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@keyframes animatop {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    bottom: -500px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    opacity: 1;\n    bottom: 0px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes animainfos {\n  0% {\n    bottom: 10px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    bottom: -42px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes rotatemagic {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    transform: rotate(0deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -253px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    transform: rotate(-30deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -78px;\n  }\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 900px) {\n.card:after {\n  content: \"\";\n  display: block;\n  width: 190px;\n  height: 300px;\n  background: #262262;\n  position: absolute;\n  animation: rotatemagic 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.04, 0.47, 1.105) 1s both;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo img {\n  border-radius: 50%;\n  width: 120px;\n  height: 120px;\ndisplay: block;\n}<\/p>\n<p>}\n\/* ----------------Animated Button---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.gradient-btn {\n  \/* Fallback: Set a background color. *\/\n  background-color: #262262;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Create the gradient. *\/\n  background-image: linear-gradient(\n    45deg,\n    #ffffff 50%,\n    #262262 50%\n  );<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Set the background size and repeat properties. *\/\n  background-size: 270%;\n  background-repeat: repeat;\n  background-position: top right;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Use the text as a mask for the background. *\/\n  \/* This will show the gradient as a text color rather than element bg. *\/\n  -webkit-background-clip: text;\n  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
