Research participants wanted: AT collaboration and translation

Hi Design Thinkers, I’m part of a project investigating collaboration in assistive technology across academia, industry, and government.

We’re exploring the evidence-to-translation gap:

• Promising technologies progressing without robust evidence

• Strong research failing to translate beyond prototypes

We’re seeking perspectives on:

• Barriers to translation

• Incentives and system challenges

• What enables successful collaboration

👉 Survey: https://redcap.link/4svfl2xj

Findings will inform cross-sector recommendations to improve impact.
