Kyle Moored

Kyle Moored, PhD, is an Assistant Research Professor at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, with affiliations to the Department of Mental Health and the Johns Hopkins Center on Aging and Health. His work focuses on integrating GPS, wearable devices, and survey data to explore how environments and activity patterns influence cognitive and mental health in aging populations.

• PhD, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (2020)
• MS, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (2022)
• BS, University of Michigan (2014)

Dr. Moored’s research spans neurocognitive aging, prevention science, and environmental epidemiology. He investigates how built and social environments, physical activity, and GPS-derived mobility metrics impact dementia risk, fatigue, and brain health. His work emphasizes structural interventions to support aging in place.

Recent publications analyze neighborhood physical activity facilities and vascular dementia risk (2025), GPS mobility trends (2024), and toxicity exposure links to cognitive decline. His studies frequently employ interdisciplinary methods, merging public health, geospatial analysis, and biomedical engineering.

Dr. Moored serves as Principal Investigator for the CHARMED Center-funded Baltimore Experience Corps Neighborhoods Pilot Study, examining neighborhood environments’ role in cognitive outcomes. He collaborates with teams in epidemiology, gerontology, and biomedical engineering, while mentoring students and leveraging geospatial tools to advance dementia prevention strategies.
