FC-TR-2026-03n = 19
Nineteen older adults used AVA at Home on their own with a moderator present. Most rated it favorably (mean SUS 76.4), but scores varied widely and specific interface changes are needed before unaided home use can be tested.

FC-TR-2026-02n = 80
In 80 older adults, AVA's TUG, chair-stand and balance results closely matched physical-therapist scoring. All seven TUG risk-zone disagreements involved times within 0.6 s of a cut-off.
FC-TR-2026-01n = 66
AVA Mobility compared with physical-therapist measurement and a wearable motion-capture system in 66 older adults at four community sites, on Timed Up and Go timing, chair-stand counts, and mobility categories.
Each report has a plain-language summary, key findings with page references, and the full PDF.
How closely AVA’s timings, counts and pass/fail calls agree with physical-therapist scoring, and where errors fall relative to clinical cut-offs.
Start with AVAL.v2 →Evidence on measurement accuracy across community sites, and a first, moderated look at whether older adults can run the assessment themselves.
Start with AVAL →What residents found easy and hard in a self-administered assessment, and which design changes come next.
Start with AVA at Home →Full methods, error taxonomies, confidence intervals and limitations, with citations in APA, BibTeX and RIS.
Start with AVAL.v2 →AVA is compared with physical-therapist scoring under standard STEADI administration.
We report where errors change a clinical category, and in which direction, not just averages.
Every report states its limitations, ethics approval and conflicts of interest.
