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
