Patient-Centered Design

  • To increase the translation and impact on healthcare, we approach our research design with a prioritization on the end user. This includes patient engagement in the entire research process or the co-creation of diagnostic methods with stakeholders, such as clinicians.
  • Patient engagement: meaningful and active collaboration with patients in governance, priority setting, conducting research and knowledge translation.
  • Patient-oriented research: continuum of research that engages patients as partners, focuses on patient-identified priorities and improves patient outcomes. Aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve healthcare systems and practices.
  • To learn more about user-centered research and how you can incorporate it into your research, see the following resources:
