 Jeffrey Kaye, M.D. ORCATECH Director 503.494.7198 kaye@ohsu.edu |
Dr. Kaye graduated from Amherst College as an Independent Scholar and received his medical degree from New York Medical College. He trained in neurology at Boston University where he served as Chief Resident in Neurology. Following his residency he completed a Fellowship in Movement Disorders. The next three years were spent as a Medical Staff Fellow at the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health in the Laboratory of Neurosciences. He moved to Portland, Oregon in 1989 to develop the Aging and Alzheimer’s Center program. He is currently Professor of Neurology and Biomedical Engineering at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). He directs the NIA – Layton Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Center at OHSU and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He also directs ORCATECH – the Oregon Center for Aging and Technology. His clinical activities include Director of the Aging and Alzheimer’s and Memory Assessment Clinics at OHSU and the Dementia and Geriatric Neurology Clinics at the Portland VA Medical Center. |

 Linda Boise, Ph.D. Education Director, Layton Center 503.494.6370 boisel@ohsu.edu |
Dr. Boise is the education director at the OHSU Layton Aging & Alzheimer’s Disease Center. |
 Tamara Hayes, Ph.D. Faculty 503.418.9315 hayest@bme.ogi.edu |
Dr. Hayes’ research interest include the use of ubiquitious computing to deliver health care in the home, with the goal of changing the current paradigm of clinic-centered healthcare to a model that is less costly, more effective, and allows an individual to participate more fully in their own health care. This work is done collaboratively with other researchers in the Point of Care laboratory, with clinicians and scientists at the Layton Center for Alzheimer’s and Aging Research, and with industry partners. |
 Holly Jimison, Ph.D. Faculty 503.418.2277 jimisonh@ohsu.edu |
Holly Jimison’s research interests include technology for successful aging, home health monitoring, user models for adaptive interfaces for consumer health information, and cognitive monitoring through computer interactions. Her areas of expertise include medical decision making, pattern recognition algorithms, and consumer health informatics. |
 Misha Pavel, Ph.D. POCL Director 503.418.9314 pavel@bme.ogi.edu |
Misha Pavel interested in the analysis and modeling of complex behaviors of biological systems, including perceptual and cognitive information processing, pattern recognition, information fusion and decision making in both healthy and cognitively impaired individuals. His projects include application of mathematical modeling, statistical pattern recognition and information fusion in the area of Neural Engineering while addressing clinically relevant problems. The applications include developing and testing unobtrusive monitoring techniques to assess cognitive state of ambulatory individuals and ubiquitous computing technologies to support healthy aging and chronically ill patients. The unobtrusive approaches to assessment include the development of computer games and assessment of cognitive abilities from micro-behavioral analysis. A number of related projects are performed in collaboration with our industrial partners and the resulting systems are evaluated within our new Point-of-Care Laboratory. |
 Katherine Wild, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Layton Center 503.494.7772 wildk@ohsu.edu |
Dr. Wild is an assistant professor in the OHSU Layton Aging & Alzheimer’s Disease Center. |
