Testing and Optimising a Medical Technology Concept
Challenge
GLG’s client was exploring a new product that combined existing medical technology with artificial intelligence algorithms. This product should improve patient safety and lead to increased operational efficiency. As part of the company’s product development process, GLG was asked to conduct a systematic validation of the value proposition with healthcare professionals.
The GLG Approach
GLG took an integrated approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods, conducting a short survey with 60 hospital buyers and clinicians. From a list of specific job titles, we recruited healthcare professionals to participate in a quantitative concept test.
Insights from the survey informed the next research step: qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted to identify weaknesses and improve strengths. Qualitative researchers used questions and KPIs from the quantitative survey, encouraging their GLG Network Members to think aloud while rating the concept. By linking the quantitative and qualitative processes, GLG provided rich insights that cast light on the best path ahead.
Outcome
GLG’s research revealed opportunities for improvement in the company’s value proposition, especially regarding the integration of new AI technology into existing systems.
