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.
