01
Literature and questions
Develop shared reading, define constructs, and turn observations into researchable questions.
HMS Lab · Participate
Question, build, test, and learn together.
Students, clinicians, faculty, engineers, and collaborators participate through shared discussion and defined contributions across the R&D cycle.
Weekly seminar
Development begins with shared inquiry.
HMS Lab participants meet weekly to discuss literature, developing questions, methods, designs, projects, evidence, failures, and next iterations.
Sustained participation in the lab includes a commitment to the weekly seminar.
Tentative seminar timeFridays, 1:00–2:00 p.m. · Samuel Read Hall, Room 216
02
Design and prototyping
Contribute to accessible instrumentation, open software, fabrication, repair, calibration, and iterative development.
03
Measurement and modeling
Build reproducible protocols, analyses, computational workflows, visualizations, and testable models.
04
Scholarship and continuity
Document decisions, present developing work, and preserve knowledge across projects and cohorts.
Open R&D community
Different ways of knowing strengthen the work.
Participants bring different clinical, scientific, technical, and lived perspectives to shared questions about human movement, then make the development process visible enough for others to inspect, learn from, and improve.
