a user centred approach to requirements elicitation in medical Device Development a case study from an industry perspective
Applied Ergonomics, 2012Co-Authors: Jennifer L. Martin, John A. Crowe, Daniel Clark, Stephen P. Morgan, Elizabeth MurphyAbstract:The healthcare industry is dependent upon the provision of well designed medical Devices. To achieve this it is recommended that user-centred design should begin early, and continue throughout Device Development. This is a challenge, particularly for smaller companies who may lack the necessary expertise and knowledge. The aim of this study was to conduct a rigorous yet focused investigation into the user requirements for a new medical imaging Device. Open-ended semi-structured interviews were conducted with potential clinical users of the Device to investigate the clinical need for the Device and the potential benefits for patients and clinical users. The study identified a number of new and significant clinical needs that suggested that the concept of the Device should be fundamentally changed. The clinical and organisational priorities of the clinical users were identified, as well as a number of factors that would act as barriers to the safe and effective adoption of the Device. The developers reported that this focused approach to early requirements elicitation would result in an improved product, reduce the time to market, and save

integrating the results of user research into medical Device Development insights from a case study
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2012Co-Authors: Jennifer L. Martin, Julie BarnettAbstract:Background: It is well established that considering users is an important aspect of medical Device Development. However it is also well established that there are numerous barriers to successfully conducting user research and integrating the results into product Development. It is not sufficient to simply conduct user research, it must also be effectively integrated into product Development. Methods: A case study of the Development of a new medical imaging Device was conducted to examine in detail how users were involved in a medical Device Development project. Two user research studies were conducted: a requirements elicitation interview study and an early prototype evaluation using contextual inquiry. A descriptive in situ approach was taken to investigate how these studies contributed to the product Development process and how the results of this work influenced the Development of the technology. Data was collected qualitatively through interviews with the Development team, participant observation at Development meetings and document analysis. The focus was on investigating the barriers that exist to prevent user data from being integrated into product Development. Results: A number of individual, organisational and system barriers were identified that functioned to prevent the results of the user research being fully integrated into Development. The user and technological aspects of Development were seen as separate work streams during Development. The expectations of the developers were that user research would collect requirements for the appearance of the Device, rather than challenge its fundamental concept. The manner that the user data was communicated to the Development team was not effective in conveying the significance or breadth of the findings. Conclusion: There are a range of informal and formal organisational processes that can affect the uptake of user data during medical Device Development. Adopting formal decision making processes may assist manufacturers to take a more integrated and reflective approach to Development, which should result in improved business decisions and a higher quality end product.

match a new industry focused approach to medical Device Development
2005Co-Authors: Jennifer L. Martin, Michael P Craven, Beverley NorrisAbstract:MATCH (Multidisciplinary Assessment of Technology Centre for Healthcare) is a new collaboration in the UK that aims to support the healthcare sector by creating methods to assess the value of medical Devices from concept through to mature product. A major aim of MATCH is to encourage the inclusion of the user throughout the product lifecycle in order to achieve Devices that truly meet the requirements of their users. A review of the published literature indicates that user requirements are mainly collected during the design and evaluation stage of the product lifecycle whilst other areas, including the concept stage, have less user involvement. Complementing the literature review is an in-depth consultation with the medical Device industry, which has identified a number of barriers encountered by companies when attempting to capture user requirements. These will be addressed by a number of case study projects, performed in collaboration with our industrial partners, that will examine the application and utility of different approaches to collecting and analysing data on user requirements. MATCH is focused on providing advice to Device developers on how to select and apply methods that have maximum theoretical strength, practical application, cost-effectiveness and likelihood of wide sector acceptance. Feedback will be sought in order to ensure that the needs of the diverse medical Device sector are met.
