Medical devices and innovative technology promise to revolutionize health care. Despite the importance of involving nurses in the collaborative medical device development processes, there are few learning opportunities in nursing programs. The purpose of this article is to provide a conceptual guide for nurse educators and researchers to engage nursing expertise in medical device development processes.
A review of the literature guided the creation of the "Strengthening the Role of Nurses in Medical Device Development Roadmap" model. The model was used to describe how nurses can be engaged in multidisciplinary design of medical devices. An academic transdisciplinary team piloted the application of the model.
The model includes the stages of needs assessment, planned brainstorm, feasibility determination, concept design, and prototype building. A transdisciplinary team case study of improving an asthma home-monitoring devices illustrates effective application of the model.
Nurse leaders in the academic setting can effectively use the "Strengthening the Role of Nurses in Medical Device Development Roadmap" to inform their engagement of nurses in early medical device development and innovation processes.
医疗设备和创新技术有望彻底改变医疗保健。尽管让护士参与协作式医疗设备开发过程很重要，但护理专业课程中的学习机会却很少。本文旨在为护士教育工作者和研究人员提供一份概念指南，以便让护理专业知识参与到医疗设备开发过程中。
对文献的回顾指导了“加强护士在医疗设备开发路线图中的作用”模型的创建。该模型用于描述护士如何参与医疗设备的多学科设计。一个学术跨学科团队对该模型的应用进行了试点。
该模型包括需求评估、计划头脑风暴、可行性确定、概念设计和原型构建等阶段。一个关于改进哮喘家庭监测设备的跨学科团队案例研究说明了该模型的有效应用。
学术环境中的护士领导者可以有效地利用“加强护士在医疗设备开发路线图中的作用”，来指导护士参与早期医疗设备开发和创新过程。
