SAM3 Expertise Areas: Objective Laboratory Assessment

The objective assessment of products or technology is important to ensure that they perform as expected.  This work is typically completed in collaboration with companies creating the products. In many cases, the work results in reports provided to the company directly and is some cases results in peer reviewed papers.

Assessments

  • Does the product/technology function as expected across typical use cases?
  • Assessment of the product/technology for use by older adults (with older adults)
  • Assessment of the product/technology interaction with the user
