This paper provides insights on gathering feedback from clinicians about novel assistive technologies using low-fidelity, physical prototypes to anticipate how patients will interact with such technologies. As designers, engineers, human factor psychologists, and healthcare professionals continue working on integrating assistive technologies in homes and care facilities, it is important to gain a better understanding of what patients will want and need to maintain as much independence as possible. In our study, three hypothetical patients with varying degrees of injuries and comfort with technology were developed with clinicians to gain feedback on the most appropriate level of assistance needed from (in our case) robotic furniture to complete routine tasks within the home. The clinicians were favorable to the concept of robotic furniture and provided insights on how to advance it with respect to user interface and …
