Nurses can identify critical unmet needs in medical device use through clinical observations. This paper reviews medical device issues and user involvement in development, highlighting the importance of clinical insights.

Area of Science:

  • Medical device technology
  • Clinical nursing practice
  • Healthcare innovation

Background:

  • Nurses possess unique clinical insights into medical device functionality and user experience.
  • Identifying unmet needs in device use is crucial for improving patient safety and healthcare outcomes.
  • Current literature lacks comprehensive analysis of user involvement in medical device development from a clinical perspective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the multifaceted issues surrounding medical device use in clinical settings.
  • To examine the extent of user (clinician) involvement in the medical device development lifecycle.
  • To highlight the role of nurses in identifying and communicating unmet needs related to medical devices.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of the healthcare and medical device development field.

  • Analysis of existing research to identify themes of user involvement in device design and implementation.
  • Synthesis of clinical observations and published data on medical device challenges.

    • Main Results:

    • Medical device development often overlooks critical user feedback from frontline clinicians.
    • Nurses' direct experience reveals significant unmet needs in device usability, safety, and efficacy.
    • A gap exists between clinical realities and the design process for many medical devices.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses are pivotal in bridging the gap between medical device design and clinical application.
    • Integrating nurses' observations into the device development process can drive innovation and improve healthcare.
    • Further research is needed to establish frameworks for effective clinician-device developer collaboration.
