WHAT WAS LEARNED
Things are complicated
doctors and clinician๏ Effectiveness trumps all other considerations
๏ Technology not clearly understood • Limited research • Therapy varies
๏ Need/want simplicity
๏ Speed is critical
๏ Patients viewed as weak link • “Can’t be trusted”
Patients๏ Technology beyond their comprehension
๏ Education resources limited
๏ Often not using device correctly
๏ Pieces often misplaced
Patients๏ Effectiveness can diminish
๏ The younger, the more control desired
๏ Don’t want to stand out
๏ Family support is critical
Power is a huge issue
Choices๏ Primary cell
• Does not require charging • Requires surgery to replace
๏ Recharging • Longer device lifetime • Charging depends on use
Recharging๏ Direct connection
• Quick • Causes heat inside body • Very prone to infection
๏ Inductive • Device completely inside body • Longer recharge • Accurate placement needed • Has to be close to the surface
Feelings can be profound
People don’t want to criticize what have given
them so much
Emotional demanding for researchers
