Patients contributions in medical product life cycle

Patient experience data is increasingly being collected and considered at every stage of the medical product lifecycle. By integrating the voice of patients, important concepts such as shared medical decision-making, patient quality of life, as well as the enhancement of care quality can be considered in the evaluation and monitoring of these products. In addition to health authority recommendations advocating for the systematic integration of patient experience in healthcare product evaluation, this data, being rich and multidimensional, can also serve as a tool for communication and differentiation in a competitive market. It also enables the regulation of the healthcare system with devices and systems that integrate indicators of the quality of the care pathway.
