Methodology
We run exploratory field evaluations focused on usability, deployment acceptability, and disciplined output during everyday interaction. Our aim is to understand what holds up in real workflows, what requires iteration, and what integration partners should expect at pilot stage.
Can people use the system naturally with minimal instruction, and does it fit into normal routines?
Would users accept the experience in the intended environment, including shared or public settings?
When contact occurs, can the system deliver a stable, quality-screened physiological signal stream suitable for downstream use, without requiring the user to perform explicit measurement behavior?
Designed to observe real interaction patterns over time.
Participants replace their existing device with a tcs-enabled device and continue normal daily use.
No prescribed measurement steps are provided, to avoid biasing behavior.
After the evaluation period, participants complete structured feedback surveys, with an optional follow-up interview to contextualize responses.
Natural dwell time and motion-light windows
Day-to-day usability
Operational reliability signals that only appear over time
Designed to test perception, trust, and usability in shared environments.
Participants are recruited on site, interact hands-on with the system, and complete structured surveys.
Sessions are run as short interviews with optional recording and researcher notes.
Responses are collected digitally for analysis and aggregation.
Privacy comfort and trust triggers
Acceptability and perceived value
UX clarity and language comprehension in diverse populations
We use SUS as a standardized usability metric to benchmark experience and track improvement across iterations.
Where appropriate, we use additional structured questions to identify specific friction points and guide follow-up interviews.
We collect written notes and, where consent is given, recordings to understand why users respond the way they do, not just what they rate.
In natural-use settings, we examine how contact occurs during routine use and whether contact windows are sufficient to support passive capture without explicit user effort.
We report results in aggregate and focus on design and deployment insights.
Data is collected to evaluate system behavior and user experience, and to inform iteration and pilot readiness.
