This research will further validate the market need for a bespoke EdTech, continuing professional development (CPD) programme.

In the long-term, this research will help position Future Care's WISHcpd™ - Wearable Insights Smart Health continuing professional development an accredited training program that will underpin Future Care (FC) need to educate clinicians in the use and adoption of MedTech and specifically, at a future date, help FC get market share and adoption of FC's product & service ecosystem.

SUGGESTED IMPLENTATION

FC believes this project is in the scope and capabilities if mature post grads. Understanding a market is the starting point for any market research business planning and validation of need – in this case health professionals. FC has some early materials which will need to be built on and further developed to kickstart the research.

Using market research reports on remote monitoring medical device, will help further inform and develop Q&A’s, taking into account the market forces/drivers fuelling the market e.g. COVID and need for remote monitoring efficiencies.

FC has a Survey Monkey account. This could be used for a quantitive pilot. Survey Monkey would then be able to offer automated analytics, which could be used to from a short report.

Similarly, for quantitative research, students could get groups together via zoom etc.. and carry out more nuanced research. Interview group sessions can be transcribed using www.otter.com to a word document and use word search indices, e.g. ethics, fear, anxiety word triggers to develop measurement, analysis and interpretation of the results into a report.

FC also has a retired market research expert colleagues to offer mentoring and support.

FC has draft materials .
