It is therefore important to develop new instruments and scales, which are directly targeted for these new interfaces and applications.

But today comes news of funding for a startup that is tackling a different kind of challenge: tapping innovations from the tech world to develop new instruments and ways of creating music.
Since then, the fundamental rationale has not changed: to collect high-quality data on the physics, chemistry, biology, and geology of the oceans that can be used to answer known questions as well as those we do not yet know enough to pose, to develop new instruments and systems to explore the ocean in new dimensions, and to engage a new generation of youth in science and technology.
Recent advances in computer-assisted design programs, such as Solid Works are very useful in designing and developing new instruments, including medical instruments, and are commonly used for 3-dimensional tool design by engineers.
Thus, on the one hand, there is a strong need for innovative measures and on the other hand, developing new instruments requires careful checking for validity and reliability in elaborate and costly pilot and validation studies.
Another way to solve this problem is by developing new instruments, which cover DSM and ICD items better.
Since conceptions of health and illness in general vary between cultural and linguistic groups, developing new instruments or adapting already existing ones for use in non-Western and non-English speaking countries is warranted.
This approach can substantially reduce the amount of time and effort in developing new instruments.
For example, the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement System (http://www.nihpromis.org/) is developing new instruments for effectively capturing patient-provided information, and the NIH Toolbox (http://www.nihtoolbox.org/) is focused on developing new protocols for neurologic and behavioral assessments.
