Background: People with COVID-19 have varying degrees of illness. It can range from no or mild symptoms to critical illness and death. Some people with COVID-19 have long-term effects regardless of the severity of their disease initially. Researchers want to learn more to see if they can better predict where a person may fall on the illness spectrum. Objective: To follow and record symptoms of COVID-19 to see how it progresses in people and why some people stay sick longer than others. Eligibility: People ages 18-65 who received a COVID-19 positive test result in the 72 hours before their enrollment in the study. Design: Participants will complete a 30-minute baseline survey. They will answer questions about themselves and their health. Participants will get a digital wristband and temperature sensor in the mail. They will get instructions on how to set up and wear the devices. They will download a mobile application on their phone. The app will collect data from the devices. Participants will wear the wristband and sensor every day for the first month. Then they will wear the devices for a total of 40 days over the next 5 months. On the days they wear the devices, they will answer a 2-question health survey via the app. Participants will answer a 20-minute online survey about their health every 30 days. If participants are hospitalized, a family member or close friend will be asked to complete a brief 7-minute online survey about their hospital stay and treatment. Participants will be sent alerts and reminders throughout the study. Participation will last for 6 months.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the SMILE app, a Digital Health Platform (DHP), that will deliver a mindfulness intervention, designed to mitigate COVID-19 related stress. Additionally, the SMILE app will remotely collect self-reported psychological and physiological metrics of mental health and autonomic regulation. Study participants are adults who self-identify as African American, Black and/or Latino, and who have clinically significant levels of anxiety. The study aims are: - Aim 1: Establish the effectiveness and durability of an 8-week Mindfulness DHP intervention. The investigators will focus on two constructs important to mental health and hypothesize that: A) Anxiety, self-report stress and quality-of-life measures will significantly improve when comparing: A.1) Pre-to-post intervention, and; A.2) Control vs. intervention groups over 8 weeks and at 1-month follow-up. B) Arousal, autonomic indices of HRV (reflecting parasympathetic activation) will significantly improve, when comparing: B.1) Pre-to-post intervention, and; B.2) Control vs. intervention groups over 8 weeks and at 1-month follow-up. - Aim 2: Establish the sustainability of two Mindfulness DHP interventions utilizing retention, usage (frequency), and participant satisfaction. - Aim 3: Examine associations between COVID-19 related stress, mental health outcomes, and HRV. Examine the extent to which COVID-19 related stress and mental health symptoms are linked to HRV at baseline and how that relationship changes over time. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 arms of the study: MTIA intervention, MAPP intervention, or wait-list control. All participants will be mailed a device with the SMILE app installed, and the equipment for recording cardiac data in the home. All participants will complete the baseline psychometrics measures and physiological stress test using the instructions provided on the SMILE app. Those assigned to the MTIA or MAPP intervention groups will then participate in their assigned intervention over the subsequent 8 weeks. During these 8 weeks, psychometric and physiological data will be completed biweekly for all participants. 3 months following the initial baseline, all participants will complete a final psychometric/physiological evaluation.

COVID-19 can trigger a dysregulated immune response, and previous studies have shown that immune modulation can improve outcomes in hospitalized patients. This trial is designed to determine whether intensification of immune modulation early in the course of the disease (while patients are on low flow oxygen) with abatacept (active arm) combined with standard of care (SOC) improves recovery as compared with placebo + SOC (placebo arm). For both groups, intensification of immunomodulation will be provided as part of SOC in case of signs of disease progression (patient requires high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or more support) and/or if the patient has rapidly increasing oxygen requirement.

This decentralized trial is a Phase 2, 1:1 randomized, double-blind, superiority, placebo-controlled study in an anticipated 100 non-hospitalized highly symptomatic adult participants with long COVID. It seeks to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 15 days of Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir), an anti-viral agent, compared with placebo plus ritonavir. The hypothesis is that viral persistence contributes to long COVID in some patients and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir compared with placebo/ritonavir can improve general health status in participants with long COVID. The study will also seek immune signatures associated with treatment response (overseen by Professor Akiko Iwasaki). The decentralized study does not require site visits, and participants in all 48 states including the District of Columbia, who meet entry criteria can enroll. It is designed to make it convenient to participate. The study drugs will be delivered to the participant's designated address. Long COVID is also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC).

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed healthcare delivery; arguably, the fields of obstetrics and pediatrics have experienced some of the greatest changes as they have transitioned away from their role as a medical home and into more of an urgent care model of care. Baby2Home is a digital health intervention designed to bridge the resultant gaps in obstetrics and pediatrics healthcare services for new families over the first year of life. This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether, compared to usual care, Baby2Home 1) improves maternal, paternal, and infant health service utilization outcomes over the first year postpartum, 2) improves maternal and paternal patient reported outcomes, and 3) reduces racial/ethnic and income-based disparities in preventive health services utilization and parental patient reported outcomes.

Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is part of the body's autonomic nervous system(PNS) protects body against inflammation. Study shows that reduced PNS function activity is associated with persistent inflammation. Preliminary data from the studies shows, that post-COVID-19 POTS patients have reduced parasympathetic (PNS) function. Given that the PNS protects against inflammation, this clinical trial aims to prove that post-COVID-19 POTS is caused by reduced PNS activity, which in turn, contributes to persistent inflammation, orthostatic intolerance, and OI symptoms. The study will evaluate immune cell activation in post-COVID-19 POTS and patients with history of COVID-19 infection without sequelae and correlate this with the degree of decreased PNS activity.

The hypothesis is that PASC-associated dysfunction in cognitive domains, such as executive function and attention, may be improved by interventions that selectively focus on enhancing those domains. This design seeks to evaluate each intervention relative to the Active Comparator. The BrainHQ (alone) arm is important because the intervention is commercially available, accessible, relatively inexpensive, and does not require trained personnel to administer. BrainHQ has been also been proven effective in other studies of cognitive dysfunction such as studies in aging, mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, among others. The BrainHQ + PASC CoRE arm and the BrainHQ + tDCS arms are suspected to provide cognitive improvements beyond BrainHQ alone through different mechanisms. Both PASC CoRE and tDCS have extensive prior use and have demonstrated utility in improving aspects of cognitive function in other clinical settings..

COVID-19 is a systemic inflammatory disease involving many organs including the lungs, vascular system liver and myocardium that lead to severe pathologies. Patients with severe cardiopulmonary symptoms usually require weeks to months to fully recover. Studies of clinical and subclinical impairments of COVID-19 patients are important for medical practice and public health as well as providing pathogenic insight to the viral infection and secondary immune response. Chronic damage of vital organs and systems, and the potential long-term effects is of serious concern. In this study the investigators plan to quantify and characterize chronic consequences of COVID-19 in individuals who receive similar medical care related to disease severity and duration in a single health care system. Using state-of-the-art Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology, we will study the pathology in major organ systems in comparison to matched controls. The results of this study may facilitate measures to prevent, detect, and manage complications from COVID-19 infections.
