The document outlines Kelly Nichols' methodology for their thesis research. It includes: 1) Categorizing conventional assistive technologies, identifying related users and health organizations to partner with. 2) Developing prototypes and testing ideas to evaluate results, with the goal of achieving a more personal relationship between a prosthetic and its wearer. 3) Planning to generate ideas, prototype, test, and evaluate over time, reporting to health partners and observing users to assess the prototypes.
