Assessing organizational culture and readiness for AgeTech evaluation and adoption

The focus of this two-year research project will be developing an understanding of the organizational culture and other pre-conditions required to facilitate AgeTech adoption and evaluation in the context of a regional health system. The PDF will work closely will technology companies and the health system partners who are piloting innovative technologies to understand the facilitators and barriers they face. This will involve both case study research for individual technologies, and cross cutting evaluation to identify commonalities and themes. The PDF will work closely with AiP and staff from CTAAN to build advanced career skills including stakeholder engagement, authentic relationship development in public and private sector partnerships, and further develop academic evaluation skills.
