Welcome
Georgia Tech’s HomeLab is a living lab for independent evaluation of user acceptance and effectiveness of products, programs, and services created with older adults and users with disabilities in mind. HomeLab is dedicated to advancing the application of emerging technologies in service to enabling people of all ages with functional limitations, as well as supporting an aging workforce.
The HomeLab participant network consists of more than 300 participants distributed across the metro-Atlanta area, as well as the associated infrastructure needed to administer, manage, design, and execute both small- and large-scale user research studies. HomeLab is staffed by a multi-disciplinary roster of experts, including those with expertise in human factors, experimental design, behavioral psychology, industrial design, data analysis, engineering, and project management.

HomeLab Highlights
The ACME POCT is excited to announce its next Global Lecture Uniting Everyone (GLUE) on Wednesday, June 10th featuring the Human Factors Team (HomeLab).
A well-designed test makes successful use look effortless — but achieving that simplicity requires a deep understanding of real-world users and contexts of use. HomeLab researchers leverage the knowledge gained from conducting over 150 human factors evaluations of diagnostic tests since 2020 to provide usability best practices for test design, as well as an overview of critical human factors touchpoints during test development and resources to help support developers.
