Medical Device Design Flaws for Children With Medical Complexity at Home
Parents of CMC reported that the current landscape of medical devices functionally available to CMC for life at home and in the community is inadequate. These findings raise concerns that medical device design flaws can pose safety risks and negatively impact the health of CMC. Future work should incorporate user input into tailoring both medical product design and coverage.
