ETL in Royal Academy of Engineering magazine Ingentia

A new article in the Royal Academy of Engineering’s magazine for engineering professionals explores the significance of the relationship between end-users and experts in technology development. The focus is on medical devices, and how technology developed to specifically help people manage certain health conditions can help them live more independent lives.

However, sometimes the development, deployment and use of such technologies can unintentionally introduce negative impacts. In this article, ETL members Robert Farnan, Steven Johnson and Jonathan Ensor explain why the relationship between clinicians and patients should play a crucial role in the development of healthcare technology.
