Start with a software-controlled simulation of a single low-risk research workflow, then work with a lab to validate one hardware interface at a time.
A research infrastructure project. Equipment qualification and trained supervision are separate from software completion; this is not a home medicine-manufacturing kit.
Each phase has a concrete deliverable and an acceptance gate. These are proposed development plans, not completed scientific or product validations.
Define a task small enough to reproduce reliably.
The task, exclusions and operator responsibilities are documented and reviewed.
Publish: Workflow brief and initial equipment inventory.
Describe how instruments and software exchange information.
A complete simulated run can be represented without untracked manual steps.
Publish: Interface contracts, bill of materials and simulator fixtures.
Let users understand and replay the workflow before hardware integration.
The same fixture produces the same recorded outputs; injected failures are visible.
Publish: Lab simulator prototype and example run.
Compare recorded measurements with an accepted reference.
The lab signs off the measurement and failure-handling criteria for the defined use.
Publish: Instrument validation report and reviewed adapter.
Check whether another operator can reproduce the workflow.
A second operator meets the predefined repeatability target with the published instructions.
Publish: Replication report and revised setup guide.
Package a maintainable reference system.
Supported configurations pass acceptance checks; scope and maintenance ownership are explicit.
Publish: Product 1.0 reference kit and console.
Progress stays at 0% until the starting scope is accepted and subsequent milestone evidence is published. Phase 1–5 targets are 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. These percentages track development, not treatment effectiveness.
Partner roles above are requirements. No partner participation or endorsement is claimed.
Simulation first. Hardware control remains unavailable until partner review and instrument tests pass.
Published the module strategy, concrete phase deliverables, acceptance criteria and future portal workflow. This is a planning update; product completion remains 0%.
Entries are published with site updates. Planned work is labelled separately from completed product milestones.
