Hi, welcome.This website provides weekly reporting for the Enabled Autonomy Video Player tablet and other data signals. The main goal is to support evidence-based improvements for the app and other projects by monitoring and forecasting key measurments.I created the Enabled Autonomy Video Player app for my cousin, Bill (cognitively impaired), to provide him a video browsing and viewing experience he can engage with independently.
