TeamDNA

TeamDNA is an automated system to measure core team processes, to augment current methods for examining complex and dynamic team processes, and to empower future novel methods for team-based education. Grounded in psychological theory, and enabled by advances in engineering, TeamDNA aims to leverage two forms of team interactions to understand key metrics related to individual participation, team dynamics, and the impact of diversity on both individual and team metrics, measured from audio-visual recordings of team meetings. Our interdisciplinary team of researchers is comprised of experts in the fields of Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Bioengineering.
