Understanding the evaluation framework for assessing the outcomes of projects following complex technology transfer processes is limited. Therefore, we conducted a study to develop and investigate the validity of performance indicators of the technology transfer process. The performance indicators, consisting of ten indicators each for "health technology" and "health products", were developed using the Delphi method and a relationship diagram was generated. To examine validity, correlations between indicators were analyzed using a questionnaire regarding the essential factors influencing health technology and product transfer. A mutual contributory relationship between indicators related to health technology and products may exist. One of the factors promoting technology transfer was projects lasting three or more years, although no significant correlation was detected between other public support utilization and performance indicators. However, the indicators do not fully cover the technology transfer process, such as the pathway to procurement of "health products." Future research is necessary to improve performance indicators through on-site investigations.
目前对于评估复杂技术转移过程后项目成果的评估框架的理解有限。因此,我们开展了一项研究,以开发并调查技术转移过程绩效指标的有效性。这些绩效指标包括针对“健康技术”和“健康产品”各十个指标,采用德尔菲法制定,并生成了关系图。为检验有效性,我们使用一份关于影响健康技术和产品转移的关键因素的问卷,分析了各指标之间的相关性。健康技术和产品相关指标之间可能存在相互促进的关系。促进技术转移的因素之一是项目持续三年或更长时间,不过未发现其他公共支持利用情况与绩效指标之间存在显著相关性。然而,这些指标并未完全涵盖技术转移过程,比如“健康产品”的采购途径。未来有必要通过实地调查来改进绩效指标。
