Description
Bart Bloemen, Zsofia Turk, and Wija Oortwijn report a 2025 conference study on how medical devices get judged for health use. Bodies that assess health technology must pick methods for weighing a device's value and risk. The authors asked whether the personal values of the assessors shape which new methods they take up.
They built a survey from desk research and sent it to members of a world network of such agencies. They also held in depth talks with respondents who had judged a heart valve device placed by catheter. Data came in from the first months of 2023. Survey results were summed in plain counts, and the talks were read for themes. The report is a short conference item, so it sets out aims, methods, and early scale rather than full findings.
