Exoscore: A Design Tool to Evaluate Factors Associated With Technology Acceptance of Soft Lower Limb Exosuits by Older Adults.OBJECTIVE
 This pilot study proposed and performs initial testing with Exoscore, a design evaluation tool to assess factors related to acceptance of exoskeleton by older adults, during the technology development and testing phases.


 Exoscore is a design and prototype stage evaluation method to assess factors related to perceptions of the technology, the aim being to optimize technology acceptance.


 In this pilot study, we applied the three-phase Exoscore tool during testing with 11 older adults.  The Exoscore method is presented as part of an iterative design evaluation process.  Exoscore was effectively applied to three phases of evaluation during a testing session of a soft exoskeleton.  This study reveals how the introduction of Exoscore to exoskeleton development will be advantageous when assessing technology acceptance of exoskeletons by older adults.
