The REAR Lab performs three main types of contract activities:
Clinical Evaluation
Performance can be measured using controlled tests and real-world evaluations. As such, evaluation can include short and long term timeframes. Testing procedures will be determined based upon the objectives as defined by manufacturers. The REARLab has extensive expertise in defining research protocols and product evaluation methodologies to collect valid performance measurements.
