Manufacturer partnerships

You build the technology. CAPABL helps people understand it.

Put your wearable robotics in front of real people through product education and independent evaluation.

Put the product in context.

01

Demo hardware

Discuss loaner or demo units and the training needed to introduce your device.

02

Independent evaluation

Explore the questions an independent evaluation could answer about your product.

03

Consumer feedback

Learn from fit observations, practical questions, and verified reviews.

04

Product education

Help people understand what the device does, where they could use it and what owning it involves.

Independence is part of the agreement.

We label manufacturer information and independent observations separately. Providing hardware or financial support does not buy a positive review, a rating, or an editorial conclusion.

If we haven't tested a device, its profile says so. Talk to us about supplying demo hardware and technical training for an independent evaluation.

Tell us what you’re building.

Help shape a future clinician pilot.

Tell us about your product and the questions you want clinicians to explore, such as setup, fit or everyday use. The network is in development; we are gathering inquiries for possible future pilots.

Pilot eligibility and independence

CĀPABL Clinicians is in development. We’re collecting product inquiries, not accepting testing assignments. Before any pilot is accepted, product and regulatory eligibility review must cover intended use, claims, documentation, model scope, regulatory status and appropriate use conditions. A “consumer” or “wellness” label does not establish non-medical status.

The planned pathway would bring qualifying consumer products to clinicians for personal evaluation: setup, usability, fit and practical limitations. Private product research and feedback are separate from independent public evaluations. Methods, compensation, equipment arrangements and publication rights must be agreed before a pilot. Paying for work would not buy favorable findings or a CAPABL Tested designation.

Independent public evaluations require CAPABL to retain publication rights. Manufacturers may check factual accuracy but cannot control conclusions or suppress unfavorable findings. We agree on these terms before work begins.

Discuss a product evaluation

Start with your product, the people it is designed for, and the questions you want to explore.
