Acronym: MATCH
Brief Summary: The best match between any person with disability and the assistive technology AT only can be gotten through a complete assessment and a monitoring of the needs abilities priorities difficult and limitations that heshe finds in hisher life Without this analysis may be the risk that the AT doesnt adapt to the expectation of the person Like this the user in few time could abandon the AT device with the unnecessary spends of resources Therefore is important that any project focused in the development of new innovating AT for people with disabilities includes the perspective of outcome measures as an important phase of the research In this sense the incorporation of the assessment implementation process and outcome measures is vital to get the transferability during the whole project and to get the general perspective from the final user

The protocol presents a project that aims to improve the independence participation and functional mobility of people with disabilities

The sample is formed by people with disabilities that will participate from the first stage of the process with an initial assessment of their abilities and needs a complete implication during the test of technology and in the final application of outcome measures instruments

Only with this perspective and active participation of the users is possible to carry on a user-centered approach That fact will allow to define and to generate technological solutions that really adjust to the expectations needs and priorities of the people with disabilities avoiding that the AT be abandoned with the consequent health and social spending
Detailed Description: The present document is the description of a Subproject of a global and complete coordinated Project in which are participants the University of A Coruña the University of Alcalá de Henares and the University of Sevilla and its title is Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Assistive Technology devices for Disabled People AIR4DP

The main result of the AIR4DP project consists of the implementation of assistive technology that allows to incorporate the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence to improve life quality of people with disabilities With this target the investigators present a coordinated project that is divided into three sub-projects whose main goals consist of developing and evaluating the breakthrough of the proposed technology in people with functional diversity

In this Study Protocol the justification and the development of subproject MATCH are explained It will be coordinated by the University of A Coruña and its performance implies the participation of people with disabilities

Therefore this project is focused on the implementation of outcome measurement tools to improve the efficacy effectiveness and real utility of the assistive technology devices ATD developed On the other hand it is also very important to assess the functional impact the ATD has on the users participation in their social environment For that other measurement tools to assess functional mobility outcomes will also be also carried out during basal assessment and after 6 months of ATD implementation

For this study protocol the hypothesis is related to the relevance of the assessment of the interaction between the users and the AT in order to guarantee a high match person-AT to also get a positive psychosocial impact in the life of people with disabilities the assessment and monitoring result two fundamental aspects

According to this hypothesis the research groups has fixed two main objectives for the MATCH subproject

To determine the psychosocial impact of AT created during the coordinated project AIR4ALL on the life of people with disabilities
To promote the best match between the user and the assistive technology used

To complete few secondary goals have been proposed

To assess the functional skills and abilities of people with disabilities and to identify their needs to get independence in mobility and activities of daily living
To design and create the best technology solutions individualized for each person meeting with the design for all principles and promoting the involvement of the final user
To validate the assistive technologys solutions designed and prototyped in order to increase the levels of participation in daily activities to people with disabilities
To validate a protocolmodel of outcome measures in the field of assistive technology to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of selecting and prescribing these products
