In this MedTech Twente Building Blocks, we dive into the complexities of clinical studies, which are receiving increasing attention in the context of responsible innovation. Within MedTech, a step-by-step evaluation process is often used, starting in the early stages of innovation development. This approach is described in the IDEAL framework, which consists of 6 stages: 0) preclinical studies, 1) initial patient study, 2a and 2b) cohort studies, 3) clinical comparative studies, and 4) long-term studies.

During this session, Maroeska Rovers, scientific director of the TechMed Center at the University of Twente, will elaborate on clinical studies from a scientific perspective. She will explain the framework using concrete examples of these six stages and their associated studies. Gerdienke Prange-Lasonder, senior researcher at Roessingh Research & Development, will share her experiences with (clinical) evaluation concerning rehabilitation technology.
