Area of Science:

  • Assistive Technology (AT) Innovation
  • Project Management in Research and Development

Background:

  • University faculty and small businesses often lack project planning and management expertise crucial for innovation.
  • Government funding is frequently allocated to these sectors for development and production, highlighting a need for support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present evidence-based models for guiding investigators in generating Assistive Technology innovations.
  • To address the gap in project management expertise for AT development and production.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of existing evidence-based models for AT innovation.
  • Categorization of models into four distinct approaches: standards/guidelines, tools/instruments, freeware, and commercial products.
