Dr. Hofer’s research has focused on the replicability and generalizability of results from longitudinal studies in the psychological and health sciences, with particular emphasis on integrative data analysis and innovations in study design and measurement. He is Program Director of the NIH-funded Integrative Analysis of Longitudinal Studies on Aging and Dementia (IALSA) research network, comprised of over 130 longitudinal studies, for international comparative research and synthesis of results. He has used intensive measurement designs to evaluate the within-person day-to-day dynamics among cognitive and physical health to better enable the assessment and identification of critical changes in functioning and to increase the potential for effective intervention. As Scientific Lead of the Neil and Susan Manning Cognitive Health Initiative, he and his colleagues are leveraging digital technologies to improve the assessment of neurocognitive and patient-reported outcomes into the home and clinic to enable earlier and more accurate detection of change and improve the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with dementia.
