End-User Perspectives of the Importance of Rehabilitation Technologies and Related Values for Implementation

End-User Perspectives of the Importance of Rehabilitation Technologies and Related Values for Implementation

Published 15th April 2024

Researchers from BioSpine project and The Hopkins Centre, supported by the Motor Accident Insurance Commission, collaborated on a study which explored the importance and value of technology for rehabilitation from the perspectives of the end-users.  

Fifty end-users including people with disability, carers, Allied Health practitioners and Medical practitioners provided insight into the importance of technology for rehabilitation and the potential benefits and practical use of technology, the technologies themselves (e.g., innovative, established, stand-alone), and technologies impact on health professionals or the health system as a whole. This paper supports the importance of engaging with multiple stakeholders for the development of technology.

 

A graph with different coloured dots Ranking of value statements regarding technology implementation per end-user group (colors). Statements are in order of importance across groups (black). Circles are centered on median value per group (or across groups for weighted median), and circle size is proportional to the IQR per group (or across groups for weighted median).  Questions which informed the graph (to the left)
