Technical feasibility
SECTION I: Testing
| 1 |
Has the R & D result been tested? |
| Yes |
| 1a |
In what mode has the result been tested?• Prototype• Pilot Application• Alpha/BETA testing |
| NOESIS has been tested within a pilot study. |
| 1b. |
Please describe and discuss the testing results |
| NOESIS showed great potential for customisation to the kid’s need and characteristics, and assisted both educators and parents to monitor the kid’s project. Large-scale tests should be supported through the schools for disabilities and public educational services, in an effort to provide an alternative approach to the handling of autism spectrum disorders. |
SECTION 2: Current Stage of Development
| 2a |
To what extent does the development team have technical resources for supporting the production of a new product? (Researchers, human resources, hardware, etc. ) |
| The R&D result is a result of collective effort and developers are available both for employment as well as for technical advice and support if the product is to be produced. |
| 2b |
What are the technical issues that need to be tackled for full deployment, if needed? |
| The technical issues that need to be tackled for full deployment are the following:Organization of a large scale pilot study for improving the productTranslation of the software in Greek language
Large orders for tools and material (as robots, stress, watches and RFID readers) |
| 2c |
What additional technical resources are needed for the production of this new product? |
| The additional resources needed for the production of this new product are software licenses for the educational material (APA). |
| 2d |
Overall assessment of the current stage of technical development. |
| NOESIS needs to be tested for a period of few months in order to make all the necessary final adjustments, and then it will be ready for making great commercial success. |
SECTION 3: Deployment
| 3a |
Define the demands for large scale production in terms of |
- Materials
- technologies, tools, machineries
- Staff effort
|
The large scale production of NOESIS requires:
- Touch Screens
- Lego Robots
- Software licenses for educational material
- Stress watches
- RFID readers and tags
- Toys
- 5 employees for the development of the product
- Consultation services from a doctor, a pedophycologist and an educator
- Translation of the software in Greek
|
SECTION 4: Overall Assessment
| 4 |
What is your overall assessment of the technical feasibility of the research result? |
| The R&D result can easily be transformed in a successful new product. |
