Ask a Doctor a Question: A Clinician’s Message to the Industry
The medical industry is an integral part of the delivery of healthcare. Collaboration between academic institutions, healthcare providers, and the industry are necessary but not devoid of flaws. This expert opinion article calls for closer attention to be paid by the medical industry to "what a frontline clinician needs" rather than relying solely on experts' opinions and stake holders' requests in planning future products and features. The need for the monitoring of tissue fluid accumulation is discussed from the point of view of practicing anaesthesiology and intensive care specialists in the context of the potential missed opportunity to have it be already available.
