Issues and challenges of involving users in medical device development
Background User engagement has become a central tenet of health‐care policy. This paper reports on a case study in progress that highlights user engagement in the research process in relation to medical device development. Objectives To work with a specific group of medical device users to uncover unmet needs, translating these into design concepts, novel technologies and products. To validate a knowledge transfer model that may be replicated for…
A Methodology for a Structured Survey of the Healthcare Literature related to Medical Device Users
This article reports on the structured literature survey methodology, which was used to identify how and at what stage users of medical devices are engaged in the medical device technology cycle, including methods and tools for evaluating device outcomes.This was not a conventional systematic review of the literature.The stated purpose of the survey is broader than synthesizing best evidence to inform an area of practice and policy, as undertaken…
Research Design for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Technologies
This article offers for wider discussion a description of the approach used in a situation where the gold standard of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) was not immediately feasible. It explains how the methods and research design of a developmental project known as `WRAP' (Woundcare Research for Appropriate Products) evolved, and discusses their implications for complex wound care evaluations.The project was guided by the UK Medical Research Co…
Solving Methodological Challenges Using a Theory-driven Evaluation in the Study of Complex Patient Care
This article draws on two research designs, which were used in a study of the palliative management of malignant wounds, to demonstrate the inherent challenges in producing generalizable knowledge from a complex subject. The designs included quasi-experimentation and a form of theory- driven evaluation. The focus of the study was the performance of dressings to reduce the impact of the wounds on daily life. The convention for evaluating the outco…
