Abstract

This is part two of The Evidence Space episode 'Putting the patient in the middle' with guests Dr. Paul Wicks and Dr Elin Haf Davies.

The Evidence Space podcast features experts from a variety of disciplines to share knowledge among healthcare professionals and the general public, proving the value of technology for health, care and life sciences.

This episode of the Evidence Space explores how patients can be involved in the development of medical innovations and how technologies can be designed for the intended users. We all know the role of engineers and clinicians in developing new innovations, but what about the patient? In this week’s podcasts, we will be looking at how patients can be involved in the development of medical innovations and how technologies can be designed for the intended users, the patients themselves.

We continued the conversation with Dr Elin Haf Davies and Dr Paul Wicks about patient design. On this week’s episode, we will be looking at the impacts of COVID-19 on the ability of engineers to collaborate with patients, how the culture of engaging with patients in design has changed and more.
