Abstract

At the heart of medical device development are patients or consumers; understanding their perspectives and acceptance is pivotal to the longevity of any device. This chapter will address general considerations that consumers face before making the decision to use or receive an implanted device, and the identification of various stakeholders and their roles in the decision-making process. A series of case studies highlight the consumer experience, daily functional impact, and influence on quality of life. Challenges to integration into the consumer population are introduced with thought-provoking questions regarding future development.
