Defining and Demonstrating the Value of Patient Engagement in Medtech Research and Product Development
MILKEN
2024.12.04
In 2022, FasterCures published a report titled The Current Landscape of the Science of Patient Input, which examined the progress of patient engagement (PE) in biomedical research and identified ways to overcome ongoing challenges. Building on this, FasterCures has applied the report’s insights and recommendations to the context of medical device, diagnostic, and digital health (known collectively as “medtech”) product development.
This report delves into why PE has been slower to evolve in medtech compared to the pharmaceutical sector, the key barriers facing PE in medtech R&D, the benefits and metrics and measures to quantify the value of PE, and the opportunities to enhance PE in medtech. It also offers recommendations for improving patient involvement throughout the medtech product R&D process.
