Healthcare innovations: letting users guide design
Show Notes

Exploring the value of user-led co-design for engineers and technologists.

With Bastian Hauck and Dr Tahreema Matin.

On this week’s episode of The Evidence Space we look at the importance of designing healthcare innovations that work for the intended user and what steps can be taken to achieve this. There are different approaches when developing new technologies for use by a clinician versus a patient, therefore different designing interventions need to be in place. How can we better understand the needs of users, whether patients or clinicians, and provide the solutions that they really need? To discuss this topic, we spoke with Bastian Hauck and Dr Tahreema Matin who provide different perspectives from both a patient and clinician point of view.
