Week 3

Hello, and welcome back to my Senior Project Blog. This week I have begun researching effective survey techniques for the purpose of better collecting data from dentists and patients on how receptive they would be to robotic based automation in dental Hygienics. I have explored question phrasing techniques, and found that for my purposes of gathering insights, targeted but open-ended questions are the best form of questioning. In-person interviews especially would be most beneficial for my project, so I will be studying in-person interview techniques next week. I have also learned about effective ways to pick as unbiased and representative a sampling group as possible, so as not to introduce false data into my research. Finally I looked into existing surveys from leading organizations such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon. This has given me a lot of valuable insights into proper survey creation techniques, and has furthered the data gathering portion of my project.

As I continue to learn more about data gathering sciences, I remain steadfast in my commitment to innovate and advance the field of robotic dentistry. Stay tuned for further updates on my senior project blog.
